If the digital version appeals to you, I have gone through a great deal of work to make sure you know how to use my files digitally. HOW TO USE THE DIGITAL HOME INVENTORY FILES Other things that were in smaller quantities, or that I wanted to be very aware of how many I had (for meal planning purposes), I used the tally marks so updating the list was quick and easy.Īs you can see, you can make this work for you and for your needs. While some food items, like ground beef, are always bought in bulk I liked using the number system. I found myself using a mix of numbers and tally marks when I was taking my Freezer Inventory. METHOD THREE: USING A MIX OF BOTH NUMBERS AND TALLY MARKS With 10 boxes, this will last you exactly 10 inventory checks. After I buy the items, I can cross off those numbers and update my inventory if needed.Then I write a number on how many I need to buy to bring my “quantity” number up to the “fully stocked” number.I determine what is a comfortable number for a fully stocked home. I write a number in the “quantity” box to show how many I have on hand at the current time.I find this works great when you take inventory of your stock every once in awhile, which for me is when I look at my long term food storage and bulk household items. You may also use numbers for both the “quantity” and “to buy” boxes. You may also see how having a digital version would be handy to suit this same daily purposes, where you can easily erase and add marks. You will use up the quantity boxes quickly, but you can allow a few lines for items you use a lot of and keep printing more as you need them. For me, I like to use the tally marks for the pantry and refrigerator sheets. It’s quick and easy to add a tally line and keep track. I feel like this “tally method” is best when you will be keeping track on a day-to-day/meal-to-meal basis, and you want to be very aware of what is going in and out. I know the “X” mark means that item is gone, and the single “tally” mark means I have some left. When I go to make a grocery list for what I need to be “fully stocked” based on my pre-determined numbers, I can then write a number of the items I need in one of the “to buy” boxes, based on how many I have left in the “quantity” section. When I use up one of those items, I then add a tally going the other way, creating a “X” mark – which then signals to me that I am short one of those items. When I am taking inventory of what I have, I add ONE tally or slightly slanted line. Now you can invent a method that works best for your brain, but I see the potential to use them a few different ways and I vary how I use them based on the frequency of when I keep stock of that area.įor example, if I am in a situation where I will need to be very mindful of everything in and out of our refrigerator on a daily basis, I would use tally marks in the quantity boxes.
