Tip of the Week:  Make it a habit to check the fridge before you go shopping.

  • Throw out items growing fuzzies
  • verify that containers actually contain said item.  Some families have the problem of children putting away empty containers.
  • What do you need for this week’s dinners?  Is it in the fridge?  If not, add it to your grocery list.

Not only will checking the fridge save your sanity, but also your pocket book.  No need to run to the store for a single item for dinner.  Those grocery stores are most crowded before dinner, and it’s rare that someone who goes in for one item actually comes out with only that one item.

Taking a few minutes to check the fridge can eliminate the frustration that occurs when tacos are served without sour cream and lettuce because someone thought there was enough in the fridge and didn’t pick it up during the weekly shopping trip.
