That, and doing meal planning. I shop every 2 weeks only, and so it kinda forces me to plan my meals. Planning them ahead of time means I can use ingredients for multiple dishes. Keeping a cleaned out fridge helps a lot in reducing or eliminating food waste, too. We never seem to have a problem with leftovers, since that's what we usually do for lunch, but I do have a tendency to waste the "raw materials" if I don't be careful. The nice thing is - when we DO have leftovers that go a little too, my chickens are happy to eat them and recycle them into fresh eggs for me :) I think my biggest reduction in waste comes from keeping my fridge cleaned out.

But when it comes to produce, I am going to start buying just a few day’s worth of food at a time, and actually label the price of the food with a post-it if I am still letting things go bad. These changes come about from things read here and here.
