Tips for Extending Your Grocery Cycle

To make groceries last longer, start by taking inventory of what you already have to utilize forgotten items in your pantry, fridge, and freezer. Create a detailed meal plan for two weeks ahead, focusing on utilizing fresh ingredients first and moving towards pantry and freezer items. It's crucial to plan for running out of specific ingredients strategically throughout the two weeks, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Properly storing food is key to longevity, with tips like storing cilantro in water and separating potatoes and onions to prevent spoilage. Additionally, adjusting portion sizes and consuming less can help make groceries last longer without feeling deprived.
