It’s no secret that I am a fan of keeping things simple in order to save money. Honestly, it’s a lot of the meaning behind this blog. I have found that when you keep things simple and easy on yourself then you’re more likely to follow through and stay motivated. I think that’s why I love easy meal planning ideas and ways to keep our grocery costs down. Because I hate going to the grocery store and I hate wasting my money by throwing away spoiled food.
Did you know that you can save so much money each month just by having a simple solution to tracking what you have in your freezer, fridge and pantry on the daily? It’s true! Just think about all the times you dug in your freezer for one thing to find something else you couldn’t locate a few weeks earlier. It happens. A lot. That’s why I want to help you learn how to inventory your freezer and your pantry to help you save more money this year.
In today’s video I’m sharing the steps you need to follow to easily inventory your freezer and pantry (and keep it up). You can watch online or down below:
- Take Out What You Have – empty your freezer and cabinets and lay out the contents. Now you may want to start with your freezer then come back to your cabinets so you don’t have stuff everywhere.
- Clean Your cabinets and freezer
- Take inventory – use this free Freezer + Pantry Inventory download to take stock of what you have and how many you have
- Put it back in order – put what you don’t use often on the bottom and then go from there
- Now do your pantry or kitchen cabinets
- Make sure to keep your inventory sheet handy so you will update it regularly
Make sure to grab your Freezer + Pantry Inventory.
