And this last trip, I did get a little carried away buying very nice well priced citrus. It was trickier than usual getting it stored away. <br /><br />I will write a post soon about how I plan for meals, I mostly keep basic type ingredient food on hand that can be prepared in different ways.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-354350269410305322012-02-21T19:10:55.383-06:002012-02-21T19:10:55.383-06:00Hi Val, I will do this in a soon future post, OK...Hi Val, I will do this in a soon future post, OK?

I don't enjoy shopping for groceries or anything else, really, so I am trying hard to only go twice a month.<br />Your fridge is so organized, I love well organized spaces.<br />Hugs, CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984727854409721822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-17512227407107768772012-02-19T18:44:24.405-06:002012-02-19T18:44:24.405-06:00I think your freezers and fridge and pantry look s...I think your freezers and fridge and pantry look so neat and organized. Do you do jigsaw puzzles half so well? I would think this Big Shop would suit you perfectly at the moment. Come summer heat you'll find it saves a lot of your energy too! For me, I'm deeply enjoying the lack of Big Shops and doing smaller weekly shopping trips.terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-86791370738105771622012-02-19T01:09:40.992-06:002012-02-19T01:09:40.992-06:00Hi Rhonda, do you map out what goes into each frid...Hi Rhonda, do you map out what goes into each fridge before you shop? Just wondering how you go about planning how much food you need for the month, etc. I know you feed lots of folks, so I imagine that is a bit more challenging to do. It looks like you worked very hard on it all.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869204059908421195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-86745452327730318802012-02-17T12:40:50.396-06:002012-02-17T12:40:50.396-06:00Rhonda you are an insperation!Rhonda you are an insperation!Cyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513341095936723890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-41887040222568467472012-02-17T11:38:50.543-06:002012-02-17T11:38:50.543-06:00Rhonda,

First want to say that I have two aunts named Betty and Bernice, and Bernice's middle name is Evelyn :) You were blessed to have these ladies in your life! Second, I must know where you got the shelf paper, I've seen it on another blog a long time ago, and I've been thinking of re-doing my pantry and that would look great! Stop by to visit me anytime you'd like.
