This is the third week I have posted my menu. I have been following the menu. It has helped us to use what we have in our pantry. I am not running to the store a couple of times of week for that one item for dinner only to return having spent $50+ for a $2 item.
This year we are focusing on emergency preparedness as a family. One of our goals is to store what we eat and eat what we store. Having a menu to follow, as well as a pantry inventory, helps accomplish this goal quite well.
At a glance, I can see what we have in the pantry for meals as well as desserts.
When I started making out the grocery list to go shopping this week, I was surprised at how much I didn't need to put on it. We already HAD it!
It's amazing how I've thought that there is nothing to eat in the house in times past. However, with my pantry inventory, I *KNOW* there is quite a bit of food. It may not be what I want to eat at the moment, but there IS food in the house.
