I 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 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.

I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 1 meals.

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

I will resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

I will visit a local pizza farm, teaching farm, or CSA grower to educate myself and my children on farm-to-table concepts.

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

I will learn about the foods that grow locally and try gleaning or foraging.

I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 2 batches.

I will have a discussion with my 2 children about the importance of not wasting food.
