SHS - February - the original post, thanks to Amber! :)

What with my computer being incredibly slow, I haven't been updating as much as I would like. Perhaps this is also because I have not been doing so well with my habit forming.

This past week I did some inventory, with hopes it will help me with grocery lists and menu planning. I'm not so sure it made much of a difference at this point, but I am hoping it will soon. I am going to attempt to make a master shopping list, and see if this helps build a positive habit that will save time, finances and perhaps my sanity.

Some of this has changed since I've made a few meals and went shopping since I inventoried, but this is basically what we have (with exception of the deep freeze which I have not yet had a chance to go through)
