Clever idea
I admit that some stuff gets lost in the back of the fridge from time to time, so this tip makes a lot of sense:
A little tip that has saved me a lot of $ over time: every week I ‘post’ my grocery receipt on the side of the fridge and then as the week progresses, anything that I’ve
a) thrown away
b) allowed to perish before using
c) couldn’t find a use for
d) just didn’t feel like eating
e) liked less than I thought I would… all gets crossed off or noted. Things that I missed and wished I’d purchased get added to the end. It sounds strange but its kept me accountable to those “ooh, let’s try this random thing that I’ll have to research recipes for” items many times and has been a good reminder to stop making impulse purchases without planning for their use and actually using them.
