One thing I like to do frequently is take a quick inventory of what I have stockpiled on my shelves at home and here's why:- So I am not spending my "stockpiling budget" on things I have plenty of. I have about 8 bottles of conditioner right now and I am the only one in my family that uses it. I have taken note to pass on all conditioner deals for now. When I get down to about 3 bottles, I will start looking for it on the GS shopping list and stocking up again.
- So I know when I am about to run out of a frequently used item. Last week I noticed I was down to 1 bottle of toilet bowl cleaner so I started looking for it in the GS list. I was able to stock up on a few more bottles due to a sale at Walgreens last week.
- It makes my weekly dinner planning session much easier. I love making a weekly menu so I don't have to deal with the dreaded question, "What should I make for dinner?" When I know that I have 10 bags of frozen veggie bags in the freezer, then I have a no brainier side dish. I want to make sure that I am eating what I am buying so always knowing what I have helps me to do this.
I hope that these tips will inspire you to take a quick inventory on what you have been buying so you are not kicking yourself when you have brought home the 10th bottle of ketchup or 15th bottle of scrubbing bubble cleaner.

So then were you the coupon fairy that left a stack of coupons for conditioner right by the product that was on sale at CVS last week? If you were thanks--I used a couple. :)
