Can she do it? Yes she can! I've decided that as soon as I finish this post, I am going into the kitchen and I am going to empty the pantry, fridge and freezer. I'm going to write an inventory of what all is in there. I'm going to toss what isn't edible. And then I'm going to sit down and figure out how to use it all over the next 10 days. And I'm not going to buy anything. Besides saving money, it will also help me KM the food. There are so many odds and ends, bits and pieces, bags of pasta, pieces of frozen fish, etc, its hard to make a meal of it but I'm going to do it. It will help me clear out everything that is there as well. At the end of the 10 days, I'm going to implement smarter grocery shopping policies and maybe try to start meal planning as well. In addition to being more organized, I'd like to build up a decent supply of useable emergency food. The thing is, I want it to be actual stores of food, not just half used bags of pasta and such. We have such small storage space in this kitchen anyway, I need to make the most of what there is. I imagine by the end of the month, we will find ourselves being mighty creative with food. Luckily, I know there is a decent bag of coffee beans way back in the back, for when I run out of K Cups for the Keurig, haha! Coffee creamer might be my one luxury item that I will struggle with but its a nasty habit anyway and I should be using the cream from the top of the raw milk that we buy. So here goes, and join in if you would like!
The fridge is sort of embarrassing....I usually have to refrigerate cakes and so last weekend we pulled all the shelves out to fit a rather large cake and it def did not get put back right.
