How Can You Reduce Food Waste During Weekly Meal Prep?

I usually plan the meals before buying anything so I do not end up with random ingredients sitting in the fridge

I try to build several meals around the same ingredients instead of buying completely different things for every meal

Freezing extra portions is probably the easiest way I have found to stop food from going bad

check my fridge before going grocery shopping because I used to keep buying things I already had

Cooking smaller batches makes sense if you are not sure how much food you will actually eat

I keep vegetables that need to be used first at the front of the fridge so I remember them

Meal prepping does not mean you have to cook seven identical meals at once

Using one ingredient in multiple recipes is a simple way to finish everything you buy
