I've decided that for the next month, I need to work on eating my way through my pantry items and the food in my freezer. I am permitting myself to purchase the following items during this time period:
I am working on doing same - eating through what I have (esp meat in freezer) before doing any more real grocery shopping (aside from recipe reqs like broth, etc)

I would like to note that the only reason I have so much cocoa powder is because I can't buy dutch-processed cocoa around here so I order a large amount. I just received a fresh shipment last month.

That makes a lot of sense since you'll be moving this spring, too.

LOL That's funny, I was thinking the same thing to myself last night while I was digging out ingredients for dinner. I need to make a serious dent in all my foodstuffs. How the hell did I let it get so out of control? :)

I know how it happens with me. I see something on sale and I buy more than I need. The massive flour supply doesn't bother me as much since I do try to stock up when my favorite flours are on sale (I bake a lot) and I like to vary the types of breads I make, but the pasta situation has gotten out of control. Same goes for the plain sausage and the chorizo in my freezer - and the frozen veggies. They all need to be used.

That is a good idea and one we should do as well. Lots of stuff that could get used and no need to buy more for a while except for basics and consumables like milk, eggs, etc.

I should have done this months ago. I've been looking through things this afternoon and it is scarier than I thought.
