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

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 plan an Eat the Leftovers night by creating a tasty “smorgasbord" or using a recipe that repurposes leftovers. I will eat 2 meals using leftovers.

I will have my 2 child/children save their unopened snacks or uneaten fruits and veggies to eat later or incorporate into a new meal.

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