gosh Julie that's a peek into different life for me !

I wonder if this idea would be any good. It worked for me at the time because of being so accessible, but your kit may be kept in a too inconvenient place?

at work I kept an envelope of protein powder and one of nuts. Almonds, or macadamias it was........... and because I was at my locker frequently, I could cycle those envelopes. Bring them home say Friday and use them in Saturdays shake. Then replenish them next weekday. I only once used them at work

But it was nice to know they were there, just in case.

I also have tin of sardines that go in my suitcase travelling. There is such a long shelf life on there, I just leave them in the suitcase along with the travel adaptors and what not, so I don't have to actually find them for next travel, just check the date and cycle round if needed

Ive got a jar of sweet potato baby food that I got travelling in USA. I just cant bear to throw that out though its years out of date now. Its a souvenir. OK, perhaps I should go to clutter class
