Organize your pantry and freezer to save money.

It is a good thing to know what is in your freezer, fridge, and pantry so you don't buy too much. 

Every week I try to make a new list of what we have, and where. Mostly meals already made and in which freezer so I know what I need to get when meal planning and making my grocery list. 

Truthfully I haven't been very diligent with this this summer and I can see I am spending way too much on food.

I usually cook too much for just the two of us and we have lots of leftovers. Plus I can have some for my lunch at work the next day. I also package the leftovers before my boyfriend eats. that way he doesn't eat too much and feel icky but also so I have enough left for another meal. 

It is also good to clean out the freezer periodically. A dinner of leftovers. Everybody gets their choice and the freezer gets cleaned out to make more room for new meals.
