The idea is that you take this in hand, walk to where the oatmeal is, and use a marker to cross out one item on the list for every item you see in the pantry. If there are three oatmeal containers, three of the five on the list would be crossed out. This would leave two to purchase, and I'd cross those out as I put them in the grocery cart. Simple, fast, and based on actual consumption, rather than an estimate of future consumption. If we end up eating more than five cartons in a month, I'll add an oatmeal carton to the list. Easy.
I had to fold diapers this morning. It was date night last night, but that's no excuse. I could have started the diapers before we left the house, but I didn't. As a result, the diapers were washed and dried, but they were not folded and put away. I really need to get more disciplined about starting the diapers as soon as I get home.
