Using things up 3/14- Make a Menu!!

Patty · #1 03-14-2006, 07:34 AM

I have been working very hard on using things up and making sure that we use what we have, and dont buy more.
So to that effect, today and tommorrow, and I going to do a short inventory, ( not full inventory) and I am going to make a menu based on that. I am going to see if I can drop my grocery bill enough to fund my next phased of snow ball savings.

I know some of you are doing menus, if you are doing this challenge too, see if you can utilize what is in your pantry this week.

Thanks for the reminder Patty. I need to do another inventory before April gets here.

A pantry and freezer inventory is on my to do list this week, also. I really want to get a good idea of where we are before we put a garden in.

I have been trying to do this, but sometimes it is so hard. My pantry is just not as stocked as it used to be. I have been trying to get it stocked gradually, but most of the time I just cannot afford to do alot of stockpiling! I hate that... But I am working on it.

I have been doing well at this. Maybe a little to well. I keep running out of staples since I'm doing 95% cooking from scratch. And you know what extra trips to the store means. I have started to track my staple use, so I have a better idea of how much to buy. This month I ran out of flour, white sugar, & brown sugar and I'm almost out of potatoes, rice & noodles. Well, at least I'm using what I have & not letting things get stale LOL!

This is a good strategy! Setting limits can be extremely beneficial and prevents anything from going rancid/rotten and being thrown away! Good luck!
