How do you plan your family\u2019s grocery shopping?\u00a0I use a \u201cshopping for the pantry\u201d method at my house. Rather than planning my shopping trips around a specific set of menus or meals, I like to keep my pantry\/cupboards stocked with a variety of the items I typically use. As part of my plan, on the fridge I keep a dry erase board. If I grab the last jar, can or package of something I write it on the board. When it\u2019s time to go shopping I just copy down the items on that list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">How is shopping for your pantry useful?<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>I can save time.<\/strong>\u00a0My shopping list is ready whenever I want to go-no inventorying cupboards and figuring out meals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I can be flexible.<\/strong>\u00a0A stocked pantry allows me to make a variety of meals without having to head to the store. Guests show up? No problem, I can grab extra sauce &amp; pasta (or veggies and curry cubes) to make more. If I suffer an unintended kitchen mishap-say the roast isn\u2019t defrosted or I burned the biscuits, I have other options available just by opening the cabinet, fridge or freezer door.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I can take better advantage of sales.<\/strong> I\u2019m already cooking from what I have on hand, so my shopping list isn\u2019t organized around what I need to make <strong><em>that <\/em><\/strong>week\u2019s meals. That frees me up&#8211;if I find an unexpected sale I can simply buy a bit less of each item on my list, say two cans of tomatoes instead of four, and re-allocate money to the sale items without worrying about breaking my budget or rearrange my meals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I can feel more secure.<\/strong>\u00a0When my pantry is stocked with the ingredients we use on a regular basis I know that if for some reason I can\u2019t shop for a while due to storms, vehicle failure or even a job loss, I\u2019ve got enough food on hand to feed my family for a while.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>So what do you think&#8211;do you prefer shopping for your pantry, or for the week\u2019s meals?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Jenn Fowler is a blogger, speaker, social media consultant and ex-Army Officer.
