Grains, nuts, and other dry goods are often sold in bulk bins that allow you to purchase only the quantity you need.

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.

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

Grocery shop more often, and buy fresh foods in smaller quantities.

I will plan an Eat the Leftovers night by creating a tasty “smorgasbord" or using a recipe that repurposes leftovers. I will eat 8 meals using leftovers.

Give leftovers a new life! For example, use leftover rice to make fried rice. I will try a recipe that repurposes leftovers 8 times.

Create a shopping list with specific recipes and meals in mind. Purchase only what's on the list when you do groceries.

For each day during the food waste tracking week, record your food waste. This action accepts one entry per day, so be sure to enter one total for food waste across all of your meals, or weigh all of your food waste once at the end of each day. Please use ounces for unit of measurement.
