Do the same with your refrigerator and freezer. <\/li>  <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p> <li> <strong>Cook more than one meal at a time.<\/strong> After you pluck a rotisserie chicken for your pasta, throw the bones in a pot with some leftover chopped veggies &#038; water so that your soup can be ready the following night after you skim the fat. <\/li>  <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p> <li> If you want to make a recipe that calls for something you don&#8217;t have and\/or won&#8217;t use the remaining quantity if you do buy it, then consider using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/substitution\/\">substitution<\/a> for that ingredient.<\/li><\/p>  \r\n\r\n<p> <li> Post your completed meal plan on the fridge or other obvious place where you will keep on track and stick to the plan.  A blackboard or whiteboard hanging on a kitchen wall is a great place to post a weekly menu, then the whole family knows what&#8217;s going on.<\/li><\/p>  \r\n\r\n<p> <li> To print a menu planning tool, print this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesisterscafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/thesisterscafe.com_menu_plan1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pretty template<\/a> from thesisterscafe.com.

You put in the ingredients that you want to get rid of and it spits out a page full of pictures and titles that are easy to look at, although maybe not so easy to choose from since all the searches I tried turned up delicious looking recipes.

This one is great for backend meal planning to get recipe ideas for foods that need to be used up before they spoil.  A bonus on this website is that you can also conduct the search in order to avoid the things you know that you are out of or don&#8217;t like. <\/li><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p> <li> If you really need help, you could try using a menu planner website (like pro.allrecipes.com\/my\/menus\/planner.aspx) when deciding your upcoming menu for the week. You drag interesting recipes into a weekly calendar and it automatically builds a shopping list that you can print out, check your pantry with the list and then head to the store. \r\nNOTE: this website requires a subscription fee should you decide to use it.<\/li><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row margin-topbot-15\">\n<!-- EBD Responsive 2nd -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8222024904512683\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9132994553\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row margin-topbot-15\">\n\t\t<div class=\"fusion-column content-box-column content-box-column-1 boxed-cody-white boxed-botbor-green cody-dropshadow\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col content-wrapper cody-blog-post-paragraphs\">\r\n<h2 class=\"title cntrtxt margin-bottom-15 cody-green-heading\"><strong>Additional Information<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Read our article on many ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/keep-produce-fresh\/\">keep your produce fresh<\/a> for as long as possible.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row margin-topbot-15 hidden-over-600\">\n<!-- EBD Responsive 3rd -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle hidden-over-600\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8222024904512683\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6039927357\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"fusion-column content-box-column content-box-column-1 boxed-cody-white boxed-botbor-green cody-dropshadow\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col content-wrapper cody-blog-post-paragraphs cntrtxt\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>To find out how long other foods are good for, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/dairy\/\">Dairy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/drinks\/\">Drinks<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/fruits\/\">Fruits<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/grains\/\">Grains<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/proteins\/\">Proteins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/vegetables\/\">Vegetables<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatbydate.com\/other\/\">Other<\/a> sections of Eat By Date or use the search function below.<\/p><table id=\"green\" class=\"hidden-under-767\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td><h2 class=\"cntrtxt\"><b><span>SEARCH<\/span> Eat By Date<\/b><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cody-cse\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<gcse:searchbox-only><\/gcse:searchbox-only>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/table><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-cody-3 manual-sidebar\"><div class=\"row margin-bottom-15 hidden-under-801\">\n\t<table id=\"green\" class=\"sidebar-search\">\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td><class=\"cntrtxt\"><h2><b><span>SEARCH<\/span> Eat By Date<\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cody-cse\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<gcse:searchbox-only><\/gcse:searchbox-only>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row margin-topbot-15\"><div class=\"margin-topbot-15\"><div class=\"boxed-cody-white boxed-botbor-purple cody-dropshadow cody-most-recent-post cody-rakuten\">\n    \t\t\t<h2 class=\"cntrtxt margin-bottom-15 margin-top-0\">Our Favorite Food Storage Set!<\/h2>\n    \t\t\t<div class=\"col-cody-6 aligncenter margin-bottom-0\" style=\"height:unset;\">\n    \t\t\t\t<a class=\"sidebar-rakuten-image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07KZJVTMC\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07KZJVTMC&linkCode=as2&tag=vintapplprod-20&linkId=65cabb76a9fe35f86b4380a964e828d4\">\n    \t\t\t\t    <img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&MarketPlace=US&ASIN=B07KZJVTMC&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL250_&tag=vintapplprod-20\" style=\"left:0;top:0;-ms-transform: translate(0%,0%);-webkit-transform: translate(0%,0%);-moz-transform: translate(0%,0%);-o-transform: translate(0%,0%);transform: translate(0%,0%);\">\n    \t\t\t\t<\/a>\n    \t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=vintapplprod-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B07KZJVTMC\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>\n    \t\t\t<\/div>\n    \t\t\t<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n                    <p class=\"paraunderline margin-top-0\">With oven-safe glass and water-tight lids, these food storage containers are ready for action!
