Brenda Pricco

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden at my home or community garden.

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

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 a timer to keep me on track with kitchen tasks and cooking and baking times so that I don't ruin food.

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

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 create a cookbook or recipe collection of go-to meals for my household to make meal planning easier.

I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on the date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.

I will watch 2 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

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