did I tell you guys that I have decided that I'm only grocery shopping for "things I need right away" and fresh vegetables in january?

my feezer and pantry are overlfowing. let's empty those f*ckers out.

Responses:

Until they put half hams on sale at .49/lb :/ -- nm - Meg Jan 4, 08:03 1
- I don't have room to store half a ham. my fridge is 32" wide and counter depth. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:07
Ditto. -- nm - znufrii, stimulated Jan 4, 08:02
I have to do this every couple of months. 'Why do I have 12 cans of diced tomatoes in my pantry?' -- nm - decline Jan 4, 08:00 9
- Here's how I prevent that: I can walk to the grocery store, so I do. I buy what I can carry up the hill. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 08:08 2
  - I live in the boonies - literally zero places you can walk to -- nm - decline Jan 4, 08:14
  - I walk to the grocery store as well. but if you buy one can a week and don't use it, in twelve weeks you have twelve cans. - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:11
- weirdly I made chili the other day and I had zero cans of diced tomatoes. so they would be eligible for purchase if I made chili again. - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:05 5
  - it's like an addiction. every time I walk down certain aisles at the Supermarket I automatically put things in my cart. Canned black bean are another - decline Jan 4, 08:08 3
    - Yup. -- nm - znufrii, stimulated Jan 4, 08:10
    - I buy dried black beans in bulk at the amish market. otherwise I would buy them without thinking as well. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:09 1
      - the stupid part is I almost always use dried when I cook (I have at least 2 bags of those) but still grab the canned all the time - decline Jan 4, 08:11
  - oh myabe in the basement? I should look/ -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:06
That's how I usually shop (in the before times). -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 07:56 4
- that was how I shopped before as well. but in the beginning of pandemic I stocked up a bit thinking grocery stores might close or something? - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:00 3
  - I did this with pasta (I have so, so much pasta) -- nm - decline Jan 4, 08:12
  - ahhhh, I didn't stock up nearly as much as that. I'm a disaster planner who doesn't have a personal disaster plan. -- nm* - loosilu Jan 4, 08:07 1
    - to be clear: I didn't like hoard. I bought maybe two or three weeks' worth of frozen stuff and cans, right? but instead of eating that stuff - amanda jeans Jan 4, 08:09
