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 intentionally buy ugly produce at the grocery store, farmers market, or sign up for an ugly produce CSA box.

To keep berries fresh, place them on top of a paper towel in a sealed container to absorb excess moisture and reduce chances of molding. I will properly store 3 packs of berries.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 2.

I will organize my refrigerator to maximize shelf life based on the temperature and humidity of different spots.

When I restock my fridge or pantry, I will put new items in the back and bring older items to the front to be used first.

I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

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