The FIFO Method
.
This is a very important rule of thumb when it comes to food. FIFO stands for... First In , First Out. That way you don't waste food in your cupboards, freezers, and pantries. Put the older cans, containers, and boxes forward and the newer things further back. That way you won't accidently miss the expiry date on your foods and have food go to waste. We also do this when has come to our freezers. We have two freezers and around this time of year we combine all last years foods into the older freezer and load the newer foods into the newer freezer. We make sure we make jam out of any fruit that we froze last year and this has to happen before we even start using our harvest from this season or new meat bought this year. ( we try to buy from local farmers for beef and chicken)
.
That old saying rings a bell... "waste not want not".

Lets save our pennies, nickles, dimes, and dollars together !

"There are only a few big ways to save money but there are many small ways ....that all adds up."

"If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play!
If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in
a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents.
The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them
be." ...Charlotte Mason
