Today we take a look at what we already have.
It doesn’t matter if you have a full scullery or a single cabinet that is your “pantry,” a few moments to inventory today saves time and money later. Make a quick list of what you’re running low on. Take a moment to look at the ingredients needed for the go to dishes you selected earlier and be sure you have those stocked up or on the list. Don’t forget the spice cabinet too! This would be a great time to toss things that are expired too. When you’ve finished your pantry, take a look at the refrigerator and add those items to your list
Keep an ongoing list of those items you know you’ll need and stock up as you can. You’ll not only save yourself a lot of time when the busy season rolls around but you can save tons of money by grabbing those needed items on sale (BOGO’s anyone?)
What’s the pantry item you cannot do without during the Christmas season?
