The Fridge List

24

This Sparked Me!

When an item is "almost" empty (ie vanilla extract, windex, TP, coffee) I add it to the shopping list hanging on the fridge. Ask family members to do the same, instead of telling you "we need more..." I copy the list to a note on my phone, or take a pic. No emergency runs to the store for this or that by planning ahead...great lessons for kids...plus I get to look for sales...and we always have TP!
We call it the "Fridge List". emoticon

    i like the idea of taking a pic of the list i always post my list on my phone but the items are always un organized. (the apps aren't what i like) But keeping a list on the fridge & simply taking a pic when needed makes it easy & leaves things organized like i would rather.

    Another thing you can do is the last can of something have a dot sticker on to remind you that it is the last and to add it to your fridge list.
