I will resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

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

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

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 sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

I will explore different meal plan techniques and choose one that works for my household.

I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.
