This week's organization project is to create a food storage inventory. Over the past few years I have gotten pretty good at acquiring food storage, but have done nothing to inventory what I have. This has been a problem when a case lot sale comes around and I find myself staring at the cases of food at the store wondering what I have at home and what I need to buy.
I set out to find a good inventory sheet to use, and found some great ideas at the Prepared NOT Scared blog. Trish suggests 3 different systems that could work for you: 1. Having a binder 2. Using a clipboard(s) 3. Shopping lists. Click here for the post on these different systems. Note that the files she lists in the post don't work in the links - you have to click on the folders on her blog at the top right hand side to find the files. If I can figure how to link the files to blogger I will attach them for you.
For me, I have decided to use an inventory on a clipboard hung next to my food storage. This will allow me easy access to see what I have and what I've used at just a glance. I will also use the shopping lists to help me be prepared when the case lot sales come around. I have these sheets all printed out and ready to use!
Next step, organize and inventory my food storage!
Anyone else out there have a good food storage inventory system they want to share?
