We keep a list in a drawer in the kitchen to add items that we need. Not everyone uses it. I try to remember to take it with me to the store, but more often than not it just sits in that drawer waiting for some attention. Just like the reusable grocery bags I'm supposed to remember. But now we need a new type of list. The Un-grocery list. Here's why. We had, until yesterday, about 8 bottles of mustard. Today we are down to 4. There's a bottle of dijon, a bottle of brown, a bottle of honey, a bottle of grainy and bottle of something that looks kinda brown but just says Mustard, so make it 5. Still a six-year supply. We knew we had to do something, so my husband got rid of three bottles of the yellow. It's not that we were purchasing mustard every time we went to the store - I blame it on the pretzel factory. When you place a large order they give you a bottle, or 2 or 3. Apparently we place a lot of large orders. Now we know. No more mustard. And taking
