Planning is the most important thing to do when it comes to
any family occasion. Christmas is especially one of those times when you don’t
know who is going to call over and what you need to have prepared.
Two things to do before you start food shopping. Stock Take and List.
Stock take
Check what you have you in your cupboards. Do you have stuff since last Christmas that
really should be dumped? Or do you think
you have essential ingredients for that certain dinner but not too sure. This is the exact reason why you need to
stock take. Take everything out of the
cupboards, fridge and freezer. Check all
the dates, throw out what is out of date and what you probably won’t ever use
again. While everything is out of the
cupboards give them a good wipe down.
Then put everything back in an order whereby you can see what is there
easily without moving 101 items to get that sauce packet.
List
Do what Santa does? Make a list and check it twice. Plan your menus for the festive season. Then write down the list of all the
ingredients that you need. And simply go shopping. Remember to do a list nearer Christmas as
well of the fresh ingredients that you need to buy the day before the big
day. Making a list is a sure fire way
that you won’t forget to buy anything and that you will have everything you
need in stock for the season.
Don’t forget to check the drinks cabinet too!
Remember once
you know what is in your cabinets you will be best prepared for the shopping.
Any other hints for getting ready for Christmas.
