  1. 01I Kept Throwing Away Food

    Hi, everyone. A few months ago, I opened my fridge and found three old bags of salad, half a chicken, and some yogurt I'd forgotten about. All of it went in the trash. That day, I decided to change.

    Hola a todos. Hace unos meses, abrí mi refrigerador y encontré tres bolsas viejas de ensalada, medio pollo y un yogur del que me había olvidado. Todo terminó en la basura. Ese día decidí cambiar.

  2. 02The Problem

    The problem was clear. I was buying more food than I could eat, and I often forgot what was already in my fridge.

    El problema era claro. Compraba más comida de la que podía comer, y muchas veces olvidaba lo que ya tenía en el refrigerador.

  3. 03The Causes

    When I thought about why, I found three causes. I went shopping when I was hungry, I had no meal plan, and I couldn't say no to "buy two, get one free" offers.

    Cuando pensé en el porqué, encontré tres causas. Iba de compras con hambre, no tenía un plan de comidas y no podía decirles que no a las ofertas de "lleve dos y el tercero gratis".

  4. 04Fix 1: A Simple Meal Plan

    My first fix was a simple meal plan. Every Sunday, I plan five dinners and write a shopping list. In the store, I only buy what's on the list.

    Mi primera solución fue un plan de comidas sencillo. Cada domingo, planeo cinco cenas y escribo una lista de compras. En la tienda, solo compro lo que está en la lista.

  5. 05Fix 2: "Eat Me First" Shelf

    My second fix was an "eat me first" shelf. I put food that will go bad soon at the front of the fridge, so I see it every time I open the door.

    Mi segunda solución fue un estante de "cómeme primero". Pongo la comida que se va a echar a perder pronto al frente del refrigerador, para verla cada vez que abro la puerta.

  6. 06Fix 3: Leftover Friday

    Finally, I started "Leftover Friday." On Friday nights, I don't shop. I cook something with whatever is left in the fridge. It has become my favorite meal of the week.

    Por último, empecé el "viernes de sobras". Los viernes por la noche no compro nada. Cocino algo con lo que quede en el refrigerador. Se ha convertido en mi comida favorita de la semana.

  7. 07Conclusion

    In conclusion, these three small habits help me waste less food and spend less money. Why not try one of them this week? Thank you.

    En conclusión, estos tres pequeños hábitos me ayudan a desperdiciar menos comida y a gastar menos dinero. ¿Por qué no prueban uno de ellos esta semana? Gracias.
