The trick is to….
1. Find a way to store what you use to rotate stocks (first in-first out)
2. Store it so that mice don’t get into it
3. Stock up on what you use (regular staples)
4. Every time you use something from pantry cabinet (immediate use), pull the oldest stuff out of basement (long term use)
5. Every time you go to the store buy 2 of every 1 item you pulled up from basement
6. If it is on sale buy 5 instead of 2 for the one you used.
7. If the stuff you are using is nowhere near expiration date… you can easily be stocking more.

These are some of the tricks I’ve learned.
