I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 2 batches.

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

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.

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

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