it's a new year! for most of us that means new resolutions like eating better and saving money. . .how about you start by cleaning out the fridge and pantry. a well stocked pantry can help you when you're making dinner. and a clean fridge makes it easier to see what the hell you got in there. if you are just getting started on the whole "cooking at home thing" and building your pantry i suggest adding a few pantry items to your grocery list each week. the cost will be spread out and won't be such a downer. here's the list that i go by and send out to our provision subscription clients. . .for FREE! use it and get organized, healthy, and save a few bucks.
