Updated 52-Week Food Storage Inventory Schedule

This month I updated my 52-Week Food Storage Inventory Schedule AND put weekly reminders on my Google calendar. Yay! It’s right there in front of me each week. Of course you could just print the schedule and hang it on your refrigerator, but I rarely hang anything on my own because sadly it’s stainless steel and not magnetic.

So, here is a little tutorial on how to put food storage inventory reminders in your Google calendar:

• Ceate a sub calendar entitled Inventories. Shocker! 
• Make reminders with all-day tasks that repeat monthly every 12 months.
• Title each week like this: JUL5 Breakfast Foods (That’s code for the fifth week of July I’ll take an inventory of my shelf-stable breakfast foods such as boxed cereal, instant oatmeal, pancake mix and pancake syrup. I don’t inventory the #10 cans of dry oats even though they could be used as breakfast food, because I check that item when I inventory my grains. But you can track your food any way you like.)
• Click repeat, repeats monthly, repeat every 12 months, repeat by day of the week, then click done. My reminders show up each Sunday. If I don’t get it done on Monday, I move it to another day always saving only this event, or you’ll mess up the repeat each year. And don’t stress if it doesn’t happen because we’re human. But it is really important to track your food storage. 🙂

I love breaking down food and home storage inventories into bite-sized pieces, because I can’t stand taking loooonnnnnng inventories. That’s soooooo painful!
