[quote=Anonymous]A chalkboard or paper pad in the kitchen would help you build a list of what you need. Anytime you are out of a snack, spice, fruit, etc just write it onto the list. Try to get a sense of how much your family eats particular items. You might try keeping track of what you eat for a week. Having staples, such as rice, pasta, eggs, butter, carrots, peanut butter,bread... means you can always make a meal without having to run out for take-out or an impulse grocery trip. Always having easy snacks for the kids, even if that's bananas and granola bars, can prevent the sense that "we have nothing to eat" when there not time to cook. Do you have regular dishes you prepare? If so, what other dishes can you make with similar ingredients? Chicken is on sale. You can make chicken and broccoli with rice. Use more chicken for tacos, sandwiches, chicken curry. You have 3 dinners and a lunch. Just some ideas. [/quote]
