Today we're going to address one of your most significant pain points and money wasters: food. Yep, you read that right! Hate leftovers? Not the best at using food from your fridge or pantry before it expires?
You are literally throwing money in the garbage when you throw out your food, and we're here to help. How, you ask? Ask, and you shall receive!
INVENTORY YOUR FRIDGE OR FREEZER AND MAKE A MEAL PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE
We know, we know. Organization sounds boring. And cooking at home, well, who has time? We get that you're busy, but we promise this doesn't have to be complicated. If we can make this work with eight kids, two dogs, running multiple businesses, and getting in family time, then you can too! And it is worth it!
It's time to use those bell peppers you keep buying in bulk and then tossing. And that chicken that's in the freezer? Pull that out, too. Spend a few minutes jotting down everything you have, then come up with a plan to use it. Here are two posts that will help:
- Learn how to inventory your pantry, fridge, or freezer using our free inventory printable!
- Once you've got your inventory in hand, here's how to get started on a meal plan. It's really not as hard as you're thinking it is right now, promise!
You'll find that once you start using the food items you have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry, you'll really save some money on both your grocery budget and eating out.
You can do this! Ready, set, GO!
