Smart Food Management Best Practices
- Tape a laminated copy to your freezer door or pantry wall with a fine-tip dry-erase marker.
- Practice first-in, first-out (FIFO): place newly bought food behind older packages during unpacking.
- Audit this sheet before writing your list on our Weekly Family Meal Planner & Grocery List to prevent purchasing duplicates.
