Shame my library doesn't have that book, I like to have a nose through first, but do love world cookery books..

No freezer movements.
Used a carrot in the salad!
I worked with a girl who overdid the carrots - she did get orange skin.
We had YS Sardines + LO sweet potatoes + salad for dinner.

I didn't eat the head and tail - my dog did.

Good morning everyone,

BLUF: I want to keep a stock inventory of my freezer and cupboards to use as a tool to reduce my grocery bills.

How do you do your stock inventory, how much time does it take, how often do you do it to feel in control?

The Story: I have a medium size coffin freezer and use three cupboards and I don't know exactly whats in them. I think this is contributing to a high grocery bill.
I want to achieve a higher stock turnover and thought an inventory and menu planning would do the trick.

The problems I have: I wrote a 7 page (both sides) of items. This was too long, too time consuming to do and maintain.
I reduced it to 1-2 page but found it difficult to track the numbers of items I was running out of and stock turnover was static.

Help, tips and tricks gratefully received

Thank you.

If you request it the library should be able to get it from their central collection, or even another library authority.

In to freezer - nothing.
Out of freezer - 3 HM Muffins.
We had garlic rice + HM Quiche + carrots, onions for dinner.
