Do You Have "Pantry Building Eyes?"

You might have ‘pantry building eyes’ if …

Your eyes automatically start scanning the shelves for clearance stickers when you first enter a grocery store isle.

You turn into a sleuth by analyzing, circling and marking up your grocery store sales flyers before you go shopping so you’ll know what to watch and look for once you get to the store(s).

You take a glancing notice of what others have in their grocery carts, if someone has a large number of the same items that might indicate an unadvertised or clearanced out special.

You always check the ‘dent and damaged’ clearance section of your store(s) to see what you can find.

You ‘see’ all the possibilities of a marked down item.   For example, let’s say that shredded potatoes are being marked down in a store where you’re shopping.   You could use them in casseroles, to make hash browns, in soups, in pot pies, etc.    You ‘see’ all kinds of possibilities that will stretch that marked down item into several meals.

What about you, do you have ‘pantry building eyes?’   

If so, what do your 'pantry building eyes' look for when you're grocery shopping or preparing to grocery shop?

She looketh well to the ways of her household … Proverbs 31:27

My pantry is intentional, purposeful, simple, practical, frugal and what works for my family.  It’s the food items and household supplies that keep my household running smoothly ready and available when they are needed.  It’s my contribution to our family’s economy and my work-from-home ‘job.'
