With old man winter having the possablity of being bad this year(we are due one) my son is putting a generator to kick in if the power goes out so we won't lose whats in the fridge or either freezer,replaceing the contents would cost a bundle.

We have started menu planning so we do not buy what we do not need or simply because it is on sale and forget about it. I like the list idea for the freezer. Think I'll put the dryer eraser board I am not using on the wall by the freezer and organize everything. That way I can quickly take note before shopping.
Thanks for the great tip.
