Family Balance Sheet
FEBRUARY 13, 2014
Last week, we cleaned and organized our pantry and food cupboards and this week, we’re going to focus on our refrigerator and freezer. If you’re participating in the Grocery Budget Challenge , February’s action step is to clean out and organize our kitchen pantry and refrigerator. Discard outdated food.

Cleaning, garden, washing and personal products often contain ingredients that are considered poisons on their own or are petrochemicals derived from oil. Look for eco-friendly products with limited recyclable packaging, low-toxicity, no petrochemicals, are biodegradable and phosphate-free. Keep take-out as an occasional treat.

We include breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks in our planning. We usually plan for one night to be ‘clean out the fridge’ night and we allow for 3 dinners out. Thank goodness our rental had recycling containers) What will you need in the kitchen? My mom and I are each responsible for 2 dinners. Yeah, for nights off!

Usually there is enough leftovers for the last night to be a ‘clean out the fridge’ night. We''ll plan the menu weeks before we leave, so I can do most of my grocery shopping at home instead of our vacation spot where prices are more expensive. Thank goodness our rental has recycling containers.
