This has been great! This printable in combination with the spice inventory has made it so much easier to know what I have on hand! Just the other week I bought A SECOND sesame oil bottle because we didn’t know we already had one. Nobody uses that much sesame oil.

In reply to Kal. Very true! Good sales are not that good if you end up wasting the food, yet they are so hard to pass by!

Love this – trying to stop wasting so much food and I like the look of this list. Good sales are one thing but having more than you can use in time makes it more expensive 🙁

In reply to Kim. You are most welcome! I absolutely love your idea for putting the printable in a sheet protector {that would be so handy so you don't have to print and reprint all the time}. And YES, the principle is the most important thing. :)

I used this printable a while a few years ago. I loved it! Thank you for sharing it 😀 I used it in a clear sheet protector and dry erase marker in order to reuse it. I imagine this would work with a china pencil too. Anyways, I wanted to thank you for sharing this, I don’t use this printable anymore but I have always remembered the principle of taking stock of what food we have on hand to come up with yummy meals thanks to your post 🙂

You’re a genius! I printed out one of the shop your stock worksheets and as I was doing it I came up with more than a few meal ideas! I’m so excited to explore this site further!

Soup made w navy or any white bean (canned), chicken broth, leftover spinach from salads (when it gets to the bottom and is kind of wilted) and throw in bacon or ham or sausage (whatever you have). I’ve also used leftover kale, mustard greens, Swiss chard etc. mushrooms too, if you have them. Throw it together, simmer and serve w bread or crackers. Even my picky eater likes this soup.

This list of what’s in the fridge, pantry, freezer would help you not to overbuy when shopping. You’ll have the list of what is in each area, saving money. I saved it/printed it out and hopefully try it sometime. I like to go shopping alone but most time it is with DH and he’s in a motorized shopping cart and he cost me more money because he’ll go along and see items he knows we need and ask me if we need this or that. Drives me crazy. Of course, he’s like a child, sneaking in at least 3 items of sweets that he shouldn’t have because of his diabetes. If I refuse to buy it or tell him to put it back, he pitches a fit. I can think better when I don’t have to watch him. Sometimes I haven’t thought that we were out of a specific item and he remembers. Sometimes he’s right. I think he has a fear of going hungry. Same way about getting lost. That’s another story!
