Maria Miller

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

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 2.

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

I will check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.

I will resist impulse buys by eating a snack or meal before going grocery shopping. Those who grocery shop on an empty stomach spend 64% more than not-hungry shoppers.
