Superpower: Keeping People Alive.

When you have 7 people in the house, not to mention 3 pets, you can find that food is magic, as in it disappears fast. I remember the day I bought a packet of biscuits and 2 hours later went for one with a nice cuppa tea to put my feet up while the babies were sleeping, and they were no more... I found the evidence of the empty biscuit packet in the bin.

If you happen to have a teenage son eating enough for 12 people so he can gain muscle while he does push ups in his bedroom, and needs to eat 8 square meals a day with snacks, then you'll know what I'm talking about.

So in order to keep all the family fed and watered (a wonder woman's job is to keep everyone alive) I do this.

  • I created on Google Sheets a spreadsheet of categorised items... Food, household etc...

  • I printed the spreadsheet.

  • I laminated the spreadsheet & placed it in the kitchen.

  • When I go shopping I pull out the laminated document and go through all the kitchen cupboards and cabinets writing down a list of the items I can't find.

  • I go shopping, come home and unpack!
