I had a head start, all the items were kept in plastic Ziploc containers (make-shift pull out shelving at its best/would love to buy bigger locking ones - see them in my future). So I began this task simply by going through all the items and checking expiration dates. Some of the items were close enough and I had duplicates, they got trashed. I found a few more plastic cups like the green one in the above-picture and used them to hold small like items together. Then I began to quadrant things. Here are the four I came up with that suit our needs:
Wound Care/Grooming; Sunscreen/Bug Spray; Over the Counter and Vitamins. |
In doing this task, I also realized that we need peroxide the next time we go food shopping and that one of the thermometers needs a new battery. A more regular check through of these items is probably necessary, I'm thinking every 4 months or so...we don't always use the medicines before they should be de-shelved and SOMEONE doesn't always tell me when we need replenishing...I won't name names, but I'm sure you can imagine.
