[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OP, I have wasted so much food that now I shop by meal planning. Kitchen space also fills up quickly no matter how much space you think you have!

I plan what I am going to make for the week, and buy accordingly. I cannot 'cook on the fly' so this works for me. You'll just have to remember to buy EVERYTHING you need for the recipe (down to salt, pepper, olive oil, etc.). If you want to make your kid cookies, pick up that bag of toll house chips and write down every ingredient.

If you do this every week, then eventually, you'll have a full pantry catered to the dishes you make. Works better than having more crap than you actually will every use, and spices do go bad after 6 months to a year.

One big thing for your to-do list is to buy onions and fresh herbs and chop them up and freeze them for future use. I have found that trick a total lifesaver! (You can even buy pre-chopped onions, peppers, etc. at most supermarkets now too.)

And don't forget to buy baking soda for your fridge.[/quote]
