1. Plan your menu around what you get in your basket.
a. I look through cook books and online for recipes that have several ingredients
and plan using what I have.
2. Cut up all your produce.
a. If its not cut up, who is going to eat it? If I cut my melons, peppers,cucumbers,
celery... my family will eat it. If it is already cut I dont have to talk myself into it later.
And it wont go bad.
3. Use as snacks
a. I have small Ziploc bags that have celery, peppers, apples, berries cucumbers slices so when its
snack time I have a quick alternative to fruit snacks.
If you implement at least 1 tip you will be surprised on how much less you will spend in the grocery store. you will use your entire basket and you will be eating better. Thats just 1 tip.
