I am a buy-a-holic, and my pantries and freezers and spice cabinets are so packed that I really have no idea whats in them. I have a habit of stocking up on things that are on sale, even if I stocked up on them the last time they were on sale. I probably have enough food here in the house so that I wouldnt need to buy groceries for a few years. But I have no clue what I have because I buy it, stuff it somewhere, and forget about it. Sad too, because only 2 of us live here and DS will be leaving home in a couple of months.
I was thinking about doing an inventory and keeping some sort of spreadsheet on the computer - which shows me what I have, how many, and WHERE it is, so that I wont have to move a ton of stuff to look for it anymore. It would be a massive job since I have 2 freezers, 2 floor to ceiling pantries, a whole cabinet full of spices and flavorings, and a half-cabinet full of dry goods. Plus whats in the fridge. If I use something I could remove it from inventory, and if I bought something, I would have to add it. But its the only way I think I can get a handle on it all and get it under control. Got any suggestions?
