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

I will observe how much my family members eat and learn how many portions will match our life stages and appetites.

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

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 track the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 1 preservation techniques.
