I had a very extensive list of groceries printed out and kids/hubby/me were to circle what was needed each week. But now that it's just two and hubby cooks, he goes to the store with a simple hand-written list. But we do try to "empty" the freezer once in a while and eat what is in there. Good reminder to plan ahead for the week. Great article and I laughed out loud a couple of times...
These are definitely some great reminders. In the past few years, especially as empty-nesters, I have been trying to buy only food we will eat. With our busy schedules we don't have consistency in our dinner times, cooking, and eating at home per sé, however, I buy less at the grocery store than I used to. Sometimes I make the mistake of buying for good intentions and have to remind myself to only buy what we will actually use. Thanks for the awesome reminders.

Thank you and I'm so glad you enjoyed it, friend! And I love the idea of circling things on a printed list - that is so smart!

Yes the dinner hour isn’t so consistent anymore! But I am liking the flexibility.
