I cannot eat it.<BR/>I will find cereal or something to eat. That is the way it usually is here. My grocery is around the corner so I am spoiled. I don't bother to plan. <BR/><BR/>However, I did get convicted today and cleaned out my cupboards. Yes, I found a can of mandarin oranges from 2006 and it was about to explode! YIKES! Maybe I better start planning.Cherdecorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790199524063763787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813083514279997327.post-3973512666716102352008-10-27T23:37:00.000+10:002008-10-27T23:37:00.000+10:00I try to be a menu planner, and when I know what I...I try to be a menu planner, and when I know what I'm cooking the days go much smoother. We are trying to conserve the funds these days, so I have been working on what is in the pantry and freezer and buying the bare minimum. I've got a nice list of things I am out of for the grocery store, but I'm trying to hold off as much as possible. I have been picking up milk, eggs and bread at the minimum, though. We haven't eaten out for dinner in it least 4 weeks now (with the exception of a going away dinner with friends). Not even fast food - we are bringing our lunches for work, too. I have noticed a big impact on the credit card. :)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464318343985100834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813083514279997327.post-55119086914752246682008-10-27T23:11:00.000+10:002008-10-27T23:11:00.000+10:00I agree, planning a menu is essential.

I've been doing this for years and it's a lifesaver for the same reasons you mentioned.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.com
