Avoid stocking your pantry with things that will just expire and have to be thrown out.
Do you ever find yourself in the grocery store or the drugstore with a cart full of stuff that you never intended to buy? I know I’ve done it. I walk by an aisle and turn down by impulse and before you know it, I’ve got a basketful of things that I didn’t even know I needed.
So I’m trying to be better about making out a shopping list before venturing through the sliding glass doors. We’re all trying to save money these days, and sticking to a list can help us achieve that goal. It can also help you avoid buying things that you don’t need in the first place–and might go to waste. Does that mean that you have to feel guilty for occasionally giving into impulse and picking up a half-gallon of chocolate fudge brownie ice cream? Of course not. But it might help you avoid stocking your pantry with things that will just expire and have to be thrown out.
