Summer Inventory
I confess that when we moved in here last year, we basically just put things wherever we could fit them. Things weren't even close to being organized in my cabinents. I have been after DH for weeks now to help me clean out the kitchen and organize it. (I would have taken before pictures to show you exactly how bad it looked to me, but I cannot find the battery recharger at the moment) I finally managed to corner the poor man yesterday and we set about attacking it.
I took everything out of all of the cabinents that held any form of food. Luckily there was virtually nothing that needed thrown away due to the date (phew!) Everything is now sorted on the shelves as what it is and by date (expiring soonest at the front, of course) It took us longer than I expected (almost 3 hours) but that was because we changed our mind on where to put things a couple of times.
It feels GREAT having it organized, especially because now I can actually get to my canned goods now that they are in a different cabinent (They had been shoved into a corner cabinent and it was horrible trying to get into it at an angle and see what I had) I now have an excuse to do more shopping though, because my stash just isn't what I thought it was. I would really like to have at least a good 6 month supply of dry and canned goods in here, just in case something happens (weather wise, even higher gas prices etc)
