I will store food and organize my fridge based on best practices to prevent food from spoiling before it is used.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 4.

I will store vegetable scraps in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock. I will make 1 batches.

When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.

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 set aside time to prepare 2 meals in advance.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 4.

I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.
