Taking Stock of The Excess

You know it is time to open the cupboards and do a running inventory in the kitchen when you discover that you are housing 8 bags of flour total for a 4 person family. I am finally tackling the one thing I have been meaning to do for years: Creating a number of inventory sheets in the house for food and cleaning products to help with the grocery shopping.

It is accomplishing two things: a much needed deep cleaning of the cupboards, and a few good laughs at just how many repeats of this and that I have. It never fails that I end up buying a 5th tub of sour cream because I can't quite recall if we are out, or I purchase a 3rd Dijon mustard because I can't remember if Dijon mustard is one of the many different mustards we have in fridge (whole grain, honey mustard, yellow, hot mustard, etc.)

Am I the only one who pulls these stupid stunts? NO MORE. I'm on an inventory mission.
