Buy a proper meal to fill up your stomach before buying any unnecessary snacks. Remind our family members not to overcook to avoid wastage. Do not eat too much, eat what is necessary. Prepare a shopping list before you do your grocery shopping. Do not overfill your bowl so that you do not waste food. Do not cook your dinner too early so that the food stays fresh when it is time to eat. Think before you buy, avoid impulse buying.
