Regarding groceries...( food, meat, pet supplies, paper products, cleaning supplies...in general, everything considered "groceries"...)
Do you tend to "stock up" or, purchase as you need stuff?
I recently spent a gloomy morning inventorying my cupboards, fridge and freezer, and am going to use up EVERYTHING I have before I buy new. I also did the bathroom supplies ( way too much there too!!!!!)
I hope to only have to purchase milk and OJ, and, for the always hungry two cats, cat food/litter.
Otherwise, I am determined to use everything I have up!!!
Today I swept my large driveway of snow, which it will need again, from the looks of it....I did it for exercise.......
Before I went out, I put some chicken in the oven to bake, and for veggies, I opened a bag of frozen "broccoli and cauliflower florets".
The bag said "best if used by January 2012"!!!! Which means it was buried in my freezer since fall of 2011!!!!!! They were a tad freezer burnt.....
They were OK, after boiling, draining, adding butter and spices, but that is part of the reason I plan to use up everything.
I put all my canned and jarred foods on a small table in my garage so I can see what I have before I go shopping.
No more "Stocking up" for me...
I have three grocery stores within a two miles.....so I can get stuff fresh if needed!!!!!
I figure if I get too snowed in, for a week or more, I can eat one of the cats ( JOKING!!!!) or live off the "fat" of the land.....!!!!!!!!!
I figure I can live til end of January 2014 with what I have in the freezer, jarred and cans of food.
How bout you?
