    Love this ,
    Saves money because you don’t buy the things you already had but didn’t remember. Also doesn’t waste food because you know what needs to be used up.

    I do mine the same way by inventorying everything we have which pretty much doesn't take long either. I plan all our meals out by what we already have & then look at all the ads & buy what's on sale.

    Wow! I've done a freezer inventory, but never pantry. I can totally see the value. We have spices in four places. So I know we buy a new jar when we cannot find a spice we probably already own. And wow, every month is a great way to really know what you have.

    Most of the expiration dates are really “sell by” dates. Many foods can go years past the date..at least a year or two. Love the video.

      MsAnna4040 canned goods can last 15 to 20 years if there is no compromise in the seal.

    The sell by date doesn’t mean the item will expire on that date. It’s for the grocery stores to tell them the last date they can sell the item. The food is very often good way past that date. I really enjoy your videos. I’m learning a lot from you!

    Maybe you should get another shelving unit like the office one in the dining room and use it as a pantry. All that food spread out in that many cupboards in the kitchen is overwhelming and hard to find things.

    You do know that the sell by date/expiration date is not set in stone. As long is the can is not bulging or when you open them they smell and look normal - they are still good.

    Love the checklist. I have a notebook that I keep my and mark off what I use and then add when I grocery shop and put food away.

    Love this and all your videos! I am sticking to a budge as well! I am also a big tea drinker so just an idea! The drawer you have all of the decorating things in for baking-could you put those in a container with lid and make you a tea drawer? you would love it-I made a tea drawer and love it so much!

    I knew which foods I need to eat to lose weight, but I didn't know how much. Diet plan I got from *Next Level Diet* contains portion sizes for every meal. Fantastic!

    You need to get some lazy Susans for that spice cabinet.

    You need a lazy Suzan for that cupboard that goes way back. If you can fit one through the door...just a thought.

  • @afroditigreekmom
    @afroditigreekmom 6 лет назад +1

    Thanks for the video! I would do this once a month and cross off the list as I use them so that I don't have to worry about making a list weekly. I usually just take a quick peak in the fridge and document what I need. What a money saver and a food saver. Also, would you consider getting a lazy suzy for your spices? I have one and it is so great and looks more organized.

    In theory this seems to be a good ideal but I have a large pantry and this would be too time consuming. I put like items together, canned goods are in rows and I make sure that I rotate them. My pantry shelves are not too deep so that helps…items don’t get lost behind other stuff.

      Start simple! If a recipe calls for a weird item that you don’t think you’ll use much then just skip or substitute it with something you’ll use a lot..

    I'm sure you already know this, but when you have fresh nuts be sure to store them in the freezer. They last a lot longer and don't go rancid from the natural oils.

      @@ramirezramirez4204 Real answer get wic ebt or go to food banks you have the time to do all that obviously. If you don't qualify for that stalk stores for when they do mark downs on especially on meats & freeze if you don't have freezer room just buy mark downs can cook for dinner. Read the per oz price on shelf tags. Make lots of soups with whatever is on sale when its cold. Flip is an app that has all your local stores ads so you can shop whats on sale.

    Not to be disrespectful, but if you do this every month, and have a list of everything you have, how did you end up buying so many K-cups? Doesn't seem like your system is working for you.

      Not to mention the conventional coffee is sprayed with so many pesticides and added root to stems for example. Starbucks and Mickey D's is the worst
      Spices go rancid after a year should be thrown away.

      It must be hard to have everybody’s comments on your personal way of doing something. She’s not posting this so we can tell her our opinion on her health choices, or her earth friendly choices. This is her reality. Take what you can from it.
