Feast or Famine?  Otherwise know as - how did I end up with 7 bottles of bug spray?

One thing I've noticed in working on basement/garage clean outs and talking to people that those items we use less frequently we seem to have more of than anything else...We all know how much milk we have in the fridge because we are constantly using and mentally keeping an inventory everytime we open the fridge.  Things in the basement, garage, and storage areas - not so much.  This is why we either have 8 bottles of bug spray, paint roller covers, containers of round-up, etc or NONE.  Stop wasting $$ buying too many of the same things! Once you have organized these areas and sorted your items by category/use:  TAKE a close up photo of the shelf or area with your phone so you can have a "PICTURE INVENTORY" for an area which a mental inventory isn't always reliable.  You'll always have your phone with you so you can do a quick check.  Update these photos after each major season so you know what you'll need heading into the next.
