My problem isn’t so much that I buy stuff I already have, but that I always want to stock up on stuff I use frequently when it’s on sale. I do this especially with canned goods and pasta, I find. So it’s not the worst thing, but I definitely don’t have the space for it!

Thank you!

I hate, hate throwing out food. The boyfriend hates leftovers, and while I do like them I can’t eat fast enough so we do have to throw out some food. It makes me sad!

Thanks, I hope your first trip goes well 🙂

Definitely! Since I wrote this post and gave myself a bit of a reality check, I’ve cooked a lot and have been eating awesomely! I haven’t even eaten out, because I haven’t needed to!

Haha, cute quote! I wish this was just *some* items, but it’s a whole lot. It’s good to have not that much space sometimes, because it cuts down on the junk you can have! Thanks for the comment 🙂

I should probably dissallow my boy from going shopping, too, since lots of the doubles, triples, and juices, soups, etc are from him. But I don’t ever have time to go, so I usually write him a list! it’s a terrible cycle.

Before moving out, I helped my mom clean out her cupboards. We had to throw out 2 full garbage bags of expired food and it made me so sad for her bank account.

I’m currently writing my big “first shop” list and am crossing things off that I know I won’t be touching in the next month. After reading this post, I was able to cross a couple extra things off.

Good luck this month!
