Went shopping this evening and it was eye opening when I asked myself if the items I was selecting were a need vs a want. Most were a want.

REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate + Air Weekly Meal PlanningHow did it feel to plan out your meals and stick to them in an effort to reduce food waste?
Babette Green 4/09/2024 7:17 AMWhen all my children were at home, I made a weekly menu and stuck to it to reduce time, money and manage our meals according to our busy schedule. Now that the children are grown and gone, we waste a lot of food because I don't know how to cook for two. Making a menu again helped me to focus on buying food for two resulting in wasting less food. Will continue to make a weekly menu. -
