I'm in the middle of doing an inventory right now... and it's because of this site. I saw a few different articles on doing an inventory and got inspired. I've also seen enough recently to stoke my food storage fire, and my husband would really like me to have an inventory before we expand any more because he thinks we should have enough already. We'll see how that goes after we're done with the inventory.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436643238936392100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442120849666486527.post-90329956822308250442009-06-03T08:52:18.072-04:002009-06-03T08:52:18.072-04:00It's easy when you don't have much in stor...It's easy when you don't have much in storage yet, but no I haven't taken the time to make an inventory.

This allows me to see what is in storage and what is not in storage. Every 3 months I do a general all over count to make sure the list is correct and order or grow what we do not have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442120849666486527.post-57684136951188825002009-06-03T05:34:24.189-04:002009-06-03T05:34:24.189-04:00I have always done it on the first day of spring b...I have always done it on the first day of spring break.

My problem right now is that, although I have a lot of room, it is FULL TO THE BRIM and so doing inventory right now is going to be the pits!
