This is my take on how to handle what's going on in the world.

Well that was a breath of fresh air to watch compared to pretty much any other video I've seen on the same kind of subject lately.

I think the biggest takeout for me is about getting organised. I tend to be chaos personified, though I did make a bit of headway sorting out the freezer today so I don't have to play freezer-tetris quite so much every time I open it.

I think the video would be good to share on the what if the cost of food goes up 10x? thread too.

We're about to do our yearly check-and-see-if-its-expired in the fridge and the top shelf of the cupboard.  Everywhere else is under good management, but the sauces in the fridge get us and my husband's shelf of the food cupboard gets chaotic.  I'm really proud of how the rest stays well managed and we are timely about eating things and using them to good effect most of the time.  I liked this video, more ideas about driving routes being more efficient when my husband drives.
 
Get me the mayor's office! I need to tell him about this tiny ad:
