This is a great reminder. I love a deal. But I need to focus on things I'm confident will get consumed in the right amount of time. When the kids were little, we'd buy ahead on things they loved, but then suddenly, they didn't love them anymore.

I think the trick here is to be flexible. People can be fickle, so I ask what they'll eat so sometimes I have to be flexible on ingredients to make sure people eat what they are offered.

I set my kitchen timing for less time than suggested because the estimates can be off and impacted but how hot the oven runs, etc.

If I notice the tomatoes going bad, I toss them in a soup or rice bowl dish fast.

I feel really good about it today. I have started a compost in my apartment and know that I can find a place to bring it. I have neighbors that compost, so maybe we can take turns bringing each others. I am using older foods rather than throwing them away. And I shopped yesterday with a lot of pre-planning - deciding exactly what meals I am...

I was exhausted on Friday, so my fridge check in was delayed. My fridge was ok, but I had lost control of my garden veggies.

I think it's more about being decisive for me. If I have leftovers, but don't have a clear plan to eat them quickly, I put them in the freezer now.

I didn't realize my zucchini got so big. I looked up what to do with giant zucchini and I'm planning to make zucchini boats.

I am not doing perfectly at all but I am learning and changing.

I have started taking the time to research and store foods for longer life.
