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

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

When I try a new food or recipe, I will only make a small amount first to make sure my household likes it.

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

I will scale down the recipe of a meal to make just the right amount for my household of 4 so we eat everything up.

I will share information about food waste and the actions that I am taking on social media.

I will watch 3 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

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.
