Buying in bulk/stocking up…
It’s recommended to have a couple weeks worth of food & water to feed your family in case of an emergency. There’s a right way to do this and a wrong way to do this! Having a cabinet (or shelf or cooler…) full of canned food that you never touch is the wrong way. Canned food expires. Bottled water expires. Yes, it’s usually good for a few years even after the “best by” date printed on the can.
However, imagine the worst case scenario and your family all gets Botulism or E. Coli infections from your expired food when the hospitals are shut down or overwhelmed. That’s definitely not ideal, right?
The best idea is to always have items in your regular food supply that would feed your family for a couple of weeks. If you live in a remote area, it would also be smart to have an emergency food kit which is usually dehydrated type foods that are preserved to last over 20 years. And water. And a generator.
So… go ahead and buy the bulk case of your favorite canned items, but use them so that your supply is always within date.

How many sets of sheets do you have? Too many? How many sets do you need?
IMO you need two sets per bed. You’ll have a main set and a backup set for each bed. The main set should ideally get washed & put back on the bed the same day. That way, you don’t have to fold them, find the other set, etc. But sometimes things happen- they don’t get dried or there’s an accident or spill during the night or sometime when you can’t wash them and put them back on.
Some people have special winter sheets or whatever… so maybe they have 3 sets. Or maybe the winter sheets are the backup second set and the non-winter sheets are the backup for the winter set. So… still just need 2 sets.

I had lentils on my shopping list. I was thinking they were $1-$1.50 for this 1 lb bag, but the Kroger bag was $2.39. It’s still a lot cheaper than most other decent sources of protein, so I purchased it. The next day I was able to go to Aldi, so I checked their price. The same thing was $1.39! It was exactly a whole dollar less for the exact same thing!

A mattress box springs. And a pile of random clothes and craft supplies. That’s what was left when our daughter moved into her first apartment.
She’ll spend the next few years collecting furniture, clothes, dishes, books, games, and decorative items for her home.
Most people do as young adults, but nobody teaches us when to stop, how to stop. How many clothing items should you have? What do you do when they no longer fit in the closet? What do you do when your cabinets are full and then you inherit your grandmother’s china?
It might seem like an easy task. Maybe it is for some. But it’s not easy for everyone. Those are my favorite clients! 😁

My daughter is getting married soon! From an organization standpoint, I’m especially proud today since she handed me a 7 page detailed schedule and other important information, including a QR code with up-to-date information like if the weather tries to throw us any curves!
