Tracking my pantry in my bullet journal showed me how often I buy duplicates

I always ended up with three jars of cumin. Now I check my bujo before heading to the store, and it's cut my grocery bill way down.

Try doing the same with my spice rack. I always ended up with multiple bottles of oregano because I forgot I had some. Now I snap a quick pic of the shelf before I go shopping. It stops me from buying stuff I already have. My grocery bill is lower, and I waste less food. Simple fix for a common problem.

Make a running list on your phone too. It’s way easier than trying to remember everything.

Ever wonder if that photo trick would work for your whole pantry, not just spices? Might pair well with @the_shane's list idea.

Sounds like way too much work for me.
