[quote=Anonymous]After many years, and much frustration, we have a system that works for us!  There is always an extra in the pantry (sometimes many extras of things we use often, like peanut butter). Whoever takes the last item out of the pantry (peanut butter, paper plates, can of whatever, flour, ANYTHING), that person puts the item on the shopping list.  We haven't run out of something needed in ages.

If you finish something from the refrigerator or freezer (that there isn't an extra one of in the second refrigerator), you put it on the list AND tell the spouse, eg, I finished the eggs- they are on the list.  This way the other person doesn't not know we are out.

I mostly do the shopping, but sometimes DH does.  And when I am baking and  run out of eggs or unsalted butter (seems to happen every year when I make Christmas cookies, even when I plan ahead - it seems I end up making extra of many), DH always runs to the store for me.  In exchange, he gets to lick the beaters and bowls![/quote]
