More Cleaning?

So, what's for supper tonight? Hmm, let me see. Gosh, I can't see anything in this pantry! Well, maybe I'll get a better idea from the freezer. Wow, even if there was something in here to tempt me I don't feel like waiting for it to defrost. (Sigh) Where's that number for pizza?

Sound like a scene in your life? I know it's not fun to clean, but organizing and creating an inventory of your pantry, freezer, and refrigerator would prove to be such a rewarding experience you would wonder what took you so long to do it.

Knowing what you have in each place would save you time and money. You could get out the things you bought that were impulse buys, and either throw them away if they cannot be used or give it away to a charity. You could plan a menu for the week or even two weeks, and never buy more than you need. The benefits are endless!

This task is not physically difficult but it can be mentally trying. You could break it up into different days, call a friend to help, or call Grocery Getters. I will (for a small consultation fee) come to your home and help you sort through the chaos. We will keep what can be kept, donate or throw accordingly, and create a menu plan that will knock your socks off!

How about this scenario: in your cleaning feat you come across something purchased on “sale” (e.g. impulse buy) and you smack your forehead in a “what was I thinking” manner. I have a plethora of resources that I use for myself and other clients that would allow us to find a great use for that item. If you disagree, no problem, we toss it in the donate pile and make a note to avoid such items in the future.

Getting organized can be a breeze with the right attitude and tools. You are ready, just do it!
