First
things first – before you get to the food choices and the shopping
lists you need to be in position to store all your goodies and so
clear the decks before you deck the halls – okay - I thought it was
quite funny!
Do
you have a freezer the size of a shed – if you do then please
disregard what follows! You need to think carefully about how you're
going to stock it which begs the question how full is it now?
I'm
sure you know what's coming next – now is the time to clear out
your freezer. It's no good going out and snapping up all manner of
goodies and then have to climb on top of it all, ramming it in to
make it fit!
Own
up to all the stuff that has dropped to the bottom – the bargain
that you couldn't live without and seemed like such a good idea at
the time and has now gone to that freezer burn waste heap in the sky.
Rest assured I'm not casting aspersions – I dread to think what's
at the bottom of mine.
I
cannot tell you how virtuous you'll feel once you've done the job,
not to mention stress free to the point of horizontal when re-filling
it.
Next
you need to tackle your pantry – or store cupboard - in exactly the
same way. You need to be sure that whatever staples you have they
are well within their “best before” dates – you can bet your
bottom dollar that there'll be the same out of date gremlins here
too, you know what I mean, shock horror a jar of passata a year past
its best before date. You know I speak the truth – think of it
another way – you need space for your non-perishable bits and
pieces too - that you can buy now – your first list!
Next
up … the other lists and a little self control
