- skip the meat :: choose beans, eggs or tofu instead
- choose loose vegetables :: get just what you need...don't pay for packaging...they will likely be more local + in-season too
- grow your own :: whether it's a pot of herbs in the window, sprouts in a jar, peppers on the balcony, or a garden patch in the backyard
- focus on the calories that feed your body, not your boredom :: the middle aisles at the grocery store will likely be avoided
- bring your own bags :: there is often a discount for doing so
- drink for hydration + nutrition :: skip the drink aisle...drink tap water
- grow food from what you'd usually throw away :: grow onions from onions ( + more)
- use up what you have :: make a point of using every little bit of food, roast those fading veg, freeze leftovers for a quick meal later, use up all those half bottles of dressing, shampoo + hotel freebies
- buy only what you need :: make a list, meal plan
- clean with vinegar, baking soda + rags :: skip all the "magic" solutions
- forage :: mushrooms (be careful), berries, onions...
- collaborate :: institute a Sunday supper with friends + bring together all the lonely bits + bobs from each fridge >>> tacos or pasta or soup or charcuterie
May your bodies be nourished + your grocery bills be reasonable. :)
Love,
Jane
