I'm getting much better at labeling, but having a few weeks to use up the stock helps to cut down on waste. Thanks for visiting.

Being able to see exactly what's in my pantry and (especially) my freezer makes it easier to ensure that food gets used in a timely manner. I have also enjoyed the challenge!

I find I usually can cut my grocery trips down to almost 2 per month this way! I’m working on incorporating more pantry meals into my menu plan.
