Make a shopping list so you buy just what you need. Don’t forget to bring your list with you to the store, along with your reusable bag! Planning ahead prevents impulse buying:
- What do you already have?
- How many meals will you be preparing before your next shopping trip?
- What do you need, and in what quantity?
