Let’s end this 10-day challenge by re-filling your pantry with healthy, long-lasting options that allow you to continue upcycling your food. When shopping for groceries, consider these tips to continue to reduce food waste, refresh your dishes, and save money:
- Waste less food: Purchase frozen and canned fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins (tuna, salmon, chicken, and beans) — which have a longer shelf life. Frozen produce can be used in smaller portions, reducing spoilage. Choose low- or no-sodium canned goods as a healthier option.
- Get creative with herbs and spices: Invest in a variety of herbs and spices to enhance flavors and refresh your dishes without the need for extra, less healthy ingredients.
- Opt for bulk items: Buy whole grains (brown rice, quinoa), nuts, and dried fruits in bulk to reduce packaging waste and save money in the long run.
- Embrace versatile ingredients: Choose items like Greek yogurt and eggs that can serve as the base for a wide range of dishes, reducing the need for specialty items.
- Plan your meals in advance: Create a weekly meal plan and shopping list to prevent overbuying and ensure you use what you purchase. This helps save both food and your wallet.
