• buy high quality food, locally sourced, without a lot of packaging
• buy the amount of food we need and not much more
• if you want to buy more, to go at all times, carry shopping list and plan the menus of meals
• avoid offers 3 for 2
• buy simple food to cook at the moment
• reuse leftovers in our traditional dishes (pasta timbales, croquettes, omelets, cakes, fruit salads …)
• collect the wet aside for compostarli in our garden, if we have it
