Are you an organized grocery shopper and menu planner?

My goal for 2009 is to get much more organized with grocery shopping. I printed out inventory lists from www.cindysporch.com yesterday for freezer, fridge and pantry. You can also print out a calendar page for meal prep, but I can do that on regular paper for a week at a time. With the cost of food going up, I really need to get better at using everything up and not wasting anything.

Wow Sharon & Patti.. you both are more organized than I am. I check the freezer about once a month , but usually things don't stay in there long enough to make a list. Walmart & Aldi's is only 5 mins away, so if we need something we just go get it. I do make a grocery list of things I definitely have to buy, but usually end up with extra things that I really didn't have to have right away.

I had my herring today. I will be taking the tree down this weekend. I want to clean out the kitchen cupboards and re-organize them.
