I will download and use an app that helps me track and manage my food.

I will plan a meal to use up leftovers by creating a tasty smorgasbord or using a recipe that repurposes them.

I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

I will learn about food storage and store food based on best practices to keep it from spoiling before it is used.

I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 2 preservation techniques.

In addition to using up my edible food, I will keep any extra scraps out of the trash by separating them for backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.

If I am missing an ingredient for a recipe I will find a substitute I have on hand and use that instead.

I will buy loose produce with a reusable bag or food from the bulk section to get the exact quantity I need.
