[View this email in your browser]( [Home Storage Solutions 101: A Place For Everything That Matters]( Dear {NAME}, We're decluttering excess and old food from our pantry and freezer during many of the recent Declutter 365 missions in this year's calendar, and there's lots of reasons for us to do this. This will help: - clear space in overly full storage areas - allows you to find what you've got to eat more easily - get rid of old stuff that's expired or gone bad, or that you'll never eat because you don't like it, and - to save some money because you can eat what you've already got instead of buying new stuff. And with the price of groceries these days, saving some money is certainly a good thing, right? The first step in the process though is knowing what you have on hand, so you can plan meals around the ingredients you've already got. You can use this FREE printable pantry inventory to list what you've already got in your pantry or cupboards so you can begin the process of "eating out of your pantry" for a few days (or longer). You may be amazed at what you've already got, and can save some serious cash by using it up before buying more.

[Eat At Home Meal Plans]( Since meal planning is such a critical habit to adopt, I thought this was the perfect time to run a quick series here in the newsletter all about meal planning. So below are a couple tips about how to implement meal planning in your own life. [Eat At Home Meal Plans]( Meal Planning Tip #1: Consult your calendar while planning your meals so you know exactly what you might need to cook, and how much time you've got to prepare and eat food each evening. This may seem obvious, but a meal plan doesn't work if it doesn't actually fit your schedule. That's why one of the first steps each week, as you plan, is to look at your calendar and remember what you've got to do each of the evenings you're planning to cook dinner at home. For example, does your calendar indicate that you work late that evening, is there a school sports practice or match that will keep you or the kids out? Have you signed up to take snacks to a game, or bring something to a potluck? These types of simple questions, while looking at your upcoming schedule, will help you assess what you can realistically do, for preparation, cooking and eating time each day and that, right there, will help your meal plan actually work better for you all week long. Do you want someone else to help you plan your meals, by providing menu plans and printable grocery lists already prepared? If so, check out the Eat At Home meal plans which are currently on sale, which means you can get each week's meal plan for as low as $1.13 per week!

Since meal planning is such a critical habit to adopt below is tip #2 about how to implement meal planning in your own life. [Eat At Home Meal Plans]( Meal planning tip #2: Have a planned leftover night after a few days of planned meals. It's a nice break for you, and an easy way to clear out the fridge, and save money by not wasting food.⁠⁠If you cook more food that can be eaten at one sitting you should have a plan for how your family will eat those leftovers, either for other meals, or as part of a leftover night, so you're not wasting food or effort. On the other hand, if you and your family don't like leftovers you should try when planning to make sure, to the best of your ability, not to cook excess food, so again you're not wasting money and effort.⁠If you'd like some help with your meal planning the Eat At Home Meal Plans are currently on sale, through January 30th, and they can help you plan meals with the right amount of food. For each recipe you can choose what serving option you'd like, such as small family (3-4 servings), or large family (6-8) servings. This will allow you to either plan for leftovers, or try to avoid them, depending on what you wish to do. In addition, Eat at Home meal plans provide menu plans and printable grocery lists that are already prepared, and during the sale you can get each week's meal plan for as low as $1.13 per week!
