As we enter into a new year, a new gardening season, and a new stock-it-up season, I am tracking more.
It's not to late to start (I told myself). We ran out of items over this winter, and I want to be better at that. So, in my own planner, in which I keep track of bill payment dates and such, I am now writing down what we use.
Every time I open a package of paper towels (writing down the number in the pkg.), Kleenex, peanut butter, softener salt (always running out), dog food, cat food, coffee (oh, we drink a lot of this), I will write it in my calendar. At the onset of next winter, I will have a better idea of how much we use, and what to pre-stock before the snow starts falling.

What's Cookin'?
Strawberry Chocolate chip muffins. These were so delicious. I sort of made it up. To save on the organic milk budget, I used powdered milk, then tossed in some leftover mini-chocolate chips. The family loved these for breakfast or snack. It uses canola oil, so here is where my canned applesauce comes in handy to stretch that budget too. Organic oil is not cheap either.
