#FREEZER INVENTORY LIST CRACKER#

I am also going to create a reminder so I double check my inventory before creating the weekly grocery list.

#FREEZER INVENTORY LIST CRACKER#

I am giving myself until next summer to have my own graham cracker and marshmallow recipes perfected.įinally, I am going to create a list of what we used over the winter – what we didn’t have enough of and what we didn’t use all of so I know what to preserve more or less of next year. It cannot possibly be that hard to make graham crackers, right? We’ll see.

Next on my hit list are the canned soups (which we have from winter because we don’t USE them), marshmallows, ketchup, and graham crackers. I am sharing my inventory list below to give a realistic view of where we are and where we are heading. I have found we stick to it better when we make small steps to change rather than trying to do everything at once. Over the last 5 years we have been making the steps to go from using processed foods and back to my roots – cooking from scratch. However, Organized Home has these great freezer inventory and pantry inventory lists if you are a paper person.Īnother thing I am going to do is evaluate what we are buying and eating and what small changes we can make. I am using a digital format because papers do not survive or get used in my house for very long. Next, I am creating a master list that I can keep in a handy place – mine is going to be in Google Keep – that I can check off as I use things and add things as I buy them. The best part of this is that while the initial inventory will take a chunk of our time, as long as we create systems that work best for us it will be a cinch to keep up with in the future. My favorite way to schedule long term is to set it up in my Google calendar because a few simple clicks has everything set to repeat for life or however long I want. I am scheduling my freezers and cabinets to be done quarterly and my refrigerator to be done every time I grocery shop. So first things first, look at your calendar and put a household food inventory on the schedule. We are going to stop this cycle of waste by adding a pantry and freezer inventory to our calendar of things to do. Pull out your notebooks or a favorite list program and let’s get to our pantry and freezer inventory. You know those illusive things that find their way to the back or bottom and need thrown out at some point? Throw them out and get it done. with food to feed your family, (i.e freezing produce for winter use). I am talking about taking advantage of sales in a reasonable fashion and/or being prepared for winter, etc. NOTE: When I talk about ‘accumulating food’ I am not talking about hoarding. It’s time to take a pantry and freezer inventory. It can be easy to get into the habit of buying groceries, making meals, and missing what we accumulate, especially if we are preserving stockpilers.
