What this sheet is for

Shop from a list rather than a guess, and stop finding the same jar three times.

Who it is for

Households, batch cookers, people with a chest freezer in the garage, and anyone who has just thrown out something they forgot they had.

How to use it

  1. Count one section at a time.
  2. Copy the date from the packet — do not estimate it.
  3. Set your own reorder level for the things you always want in stock.
  4. Update as things come in and go out.
  5. Redo it properly two or three times a year.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

How long does food keep?

This sheet does not say, deliberately. Shelf life depends on the product, the packaging and how it has been stored, and getting it from a printable would be a bad idea. Use the date on the packet and your own food safety authority.
