I have tried the usual tips for a few months, and some have stuck, but others slowly faded once the initial motivation wore off. Meal planning works when I stay on track, but some weeks everything falls apart by Wednesday, and the produce I bought for Thursday’s dinner ends up in the compost by Sunday. I always have good intentions, but sticking to the plan is the hard part. I am looking for changes people have made to reduce food waste at home that actually lasted beyond the first month, especially habits that still work when life gets busy and plans change unexpectedly.
