So as I was sitting at my desk at work, I was trying to figure out what I am going to be making for dinner tonight. I pictured my pantry and what was in it... Problem was, I didn't remember anymore what we had and what we didn't. Recipe after recipe was eliminated because I was not sure if we still had diced tomatoes or if we still had enough rice; therefore, I decided, I needed to do a massive "pantry-raid"! Needless to say, there were things in there I had forgotten I bough several weeks ago. From candy to pasta to beans and even my favorite loose-leaf tea. I had come to the conclusion that doing a pantry raid every now and then can help you save money without even really trying. Now I know what we have and what we don't have and I can make my grocery list accordingly without coming home and saying to myself: "oh crap, I forgot we still had some of this"!Not only does organizing save you money, it also keeps you sane and avoid frustration. Take a look in your pantry, did you know that way back there in the corner you still had a packet of hamburger helper?!
Happy organizing my friends!
