INVENTORY YOUR FRIDGE AND PANTRY

Before you start preparing a meal plan:

1. 
   

   Make a complete list of everything you have in your kitchen.

   
   


2. 
   

   Make a physical inventory of everything you have in your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry.

   
   


3. 
   

   Remember that you don't need to take inventory of your kitchen necessities because you know you'll always have them on hand.

   
   

It would be best to start with the foods in your refrigerator because they are perishable and will go bad first. If you come across anything close to expiring, make sure to include it in your dinner plans. For example, if you have chicken that will expire on Tuesday, look for Monday meal ideas that include chicken.
