    I think this challenge was very eye opening. I know I will be more cautious when buying fruits & vegetables to not over buy to limit waste.

    I tend to store produce in not the best way. I know technically I should refrigerate tomatoes but it makes their texture change so I hate it so much. Also the crisper has been a mystery half the time but I've learned how to set it and use it correctly.

    What kinds of food are on your Eat First shelf? Has creating an Eat First area helped you reduce food waste?

    A lot of vegetables and starches end up on the eat first because I just don't eat as much as I used to and I have to try to scale back on what I'm buying. I tend to buy based on what sounds good at the time and don't always circle back around to making the actual meal that sounded good in the store. But at least making the eat first area has helped rotate products out that are losing their best taste.

    I rescued the lemon peels from lemonade I made and made a vinegar mix cleaner. Something to spray down the kitchen with when I'm cleaning.

    Storage Befriend My Freezer
    Do a bit of research about foods that freeze and revive well. What can you put in the freezer that you didn't know you could?

    I thought you had to can tomatoes which is admittedly the best way but you can actually also freeze them. Also freeze butter and cheese if need be.

    Some things were jammed to the back of the fridge that led to out of sight out of mind. I pulled those forward and up and looked at dates to see what needed to be eaten first.

    ordered out and didn't throw anything away, but made me think how much food does an average restaurant
    throw out? Do they plan to prevent waist? How do they use their leftovers?
