    I definitely go to the grocery store and try to buy enough where I can make it and eat it all within the week. Saves me money and food from spoiling. Also helps to keep my fridge less packed and more clean!

    When I make dinner, I make extras to make sure I can take it to work the next day for lunch. It prevents food waste, and helps to portion my food. Definitely try to cook based on what is nearing going bad lol.

    On Sunday I cut up fruit to meal prepped a fruit salad for the week. To help me eat healthier. For the apples and pears, I kept them with the core so there's still plenty of fruit left and juiced them with celery stalks and carrots I had in the fridge. So Used up all the excess fruit that I would've tossed. Used the vegetables before they were able to go bad.
