Whoops! Guess I should pay closer attention when I shop..

I spent the majority of today making lists and organizing my stockpile. I went to have a box of fattening Kraft Dinner the other day to see that it was expired since August. Later in the day I went to open a new bag of chips (yeah, so it wasn’t the healthiest food day for me, whatever) that I’d had in my stockpile from a sale and it also was expired since August. I decided then that I needed to go through everything (food and otherwise) and write down the expiration dates as well as quantity.

It took me a good hour or two to write it all down and I’m surprised that I didn’t have to throw much food out. Apparently KD is good up to 6 months past the expiration date. Yummy! I won’t let my food sit that long though. From now on I am going to eat what I have on hand BEFORE it expires. I know, I’m pretty smart.

With the list of food, etc. that I made, I also wrote up some menus for the next 3 weeks of September. I really want to try to live off of our current stockpile as long as we can. The only way I will purchase something at the stores is if it is a crazy deal and I need to stock up or to buy perishables such as fruits, veg., milk and the like.

It feels so good to have everything organized. I’m glad I did that and I need to make sure to do that more often! I have one item that I’m having issues with though… Busy Bones. I have over 50 of them (I got most of them for free, others for tax) and it says the expiry is September 2008. There is absolutely no way I am going to give my dogs all of them. They will probably only get another one or two each for the rest of the month (they are fatty – junk food for dogs!). I’m torn with what to do with the rest… I could try to sell them on Kijiji for cheap. Or I could see if the SPCA would take them (though I have no idea where one is located and it might be too far). I would be so sad if I had to throw them out as they are perfectly fine, they just need to be eaten up real soon!

Other than that I have been doing the same old daily routine. It’s rather boring, you know. If I didn’t like to be such a control freak, I would find a job outside of the home. But then I’d have to keep Maggie in the cage all day and that makes me depressed just thinking about it so that won’t work. Bah! I just want something to DO! You can only clean the house so much, you can only shop so much and you can only sit on your ass doing nothing for so long before you SNAP! And I’m just about at that point…
