Food Inventories

Options
Evening all,

Am getting ready to tackle my cupboards and freezers to see what I have got...does anyone do their inventory in spreadsheet form? If so, can I be really lazy and cheeky and ask for a copy?

    Not a spreadsheet, but these free printables may get you started with at least the initial list making ....

    Organised Home Printables

    Depending on your computer abilities you may even be able to use it as a basis for drawing up your own spreadsheet?

    Can't vouch for it personally, but just googled and came across this ....


    ... http://www.eng.utah.edu/~bartholo/FoodStorage/ (called the Ultimate Food Storage Worksheet)

    The blank one (futher down the page) opens up a PDF file and would give you a quick idea of what the format of the spreadsheet is and whether or not you could tweak it to suit your own purposes.

    May or may not be helpful :confused:

    Queenie - your'e a legend! I was just thinking about, now that ive done the budget and sorted the signature (see below) the next thing I need to do is the food budget for January so we stick to the £150 all in target.

    Thanks!

    I'm the same, every time I open my "tins" cupboard they all fall out there are so many. I seem to have this seige mentality. I never have a tin of what the kids ask for though funnily enough..."got any baked beans" er no, better buy some! I really must use them up this year.
