I'm loving this thread. Lots of inspiration.

We bought a small freezer in 2013, with the intention of emptying it periodically to defrost. Well, we haven't done it yet, and I'm afraid that some of the older meat in there made not be good anymore. Time to plan some meals to use it up.

Also, I went on a stocking up binge between 2013 - 14 before realizing that I'd better slow down. I did learn exactly how much we use every month through some careful record-keeping, but I over-shopped before I got to that point. We have lots of expired canned goods that I need to use up.
