Managing food Help with Lists

declutterqueen

Hi There,
I hope someone can help,
I want to create a system at home so that I know what food there is in the house and what meals can be made..We are a bit short of cash this month , I have tried to search for the topic but I cant find anything.
Thanks

The best thing to do to know whats in your house is the write lists and stick them on the inside of your cupboard doors. Just cross items off as you use them or write on as you buy more more

Inventory your cupboards/fridge/freezer...I found this site helpful, printed out their inventory lists

I use an Excel-type spreadsheet.

One sheet for the cupboards, divided into columns for jars, packets, tins, and another sheet for the freezer, one column for each drawer.
So a sample of the list for drawer 2 of my freezer might look like:
Veg sausages: 18
Veg hot dogs: 8
Veg mince: 1.5 bags
Qu0rn fillets: 3
Bacon-style slices: 2 + part boxes
............. and so on.

It's a bit of work to set up for the first time, but having done it, I keep it on a flash drive, and just pop it into the computer each day, add anything I've bought and delete anything I use.

You can of course print it out if you wish and use a pen to add and delete, and update the "master" copy on the computer at regular intervals, then print out the revised version, if that all makes sense.:o
