How to use it

  1. Fill it in after you shop. Item, how many, the date it went in, and the use-by date.
  2. Use real limits for leftovers. Cooked leftovers keep 3–4 days in the fridge. See the full fridge and freezer chart.
  3. Check it before you shop. It's your list of what you already have.
  4. Start a new sheet each week. Carry over anything not used up.
