Getting Organized

Well unless we are all superwoman, I doubt we have everything in working order. Even she had super villains to fight.

We need a plan! First figure out what is my goal? For me, I want to get the most for my buck and still eat healthy and fresh foods.

1. Start by compiling a list favorite dishes. Even if you don't have recipe, find it online later.
2. Make a stock list, items that you keep on hand most of the time. Check off how many that you have in the home already. I like to have only one of perishables and at least 5 of things that will keep longer.
3. Plan out 1 to 2 weeks in advance a menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner, & snacks. This will help you save money, time, & look at what you are eating.
4. Make a grocery list of foods that you need from your menu minus the foods you already have stocked in the pantry.

Great now we have a plan. Lets get started. Enjoy getting organized!
