things I need to restock in the pantry/freezer/etc.

• vanilla
• white vinegar (although some more apple cider vinegar would be good too)
• bleach
• TVP
• dried chopped onion
• some more canned fruits and vegetables
• nuts
• soy sauce
• ibuprofen
• toothbrushes
• cold/flu meds
• fluoride rinse for the Munchkin
• chili powder (we're running pretty low!)

I'd also love to get some more butter, eggs, and ground beef.

things I need to use up in my pantry

Thanks to careful shopping and couponing over the summer and fall months (as well as holiday sales), my pantry is fairly well stocked right now. I also have several things in there that have been sitting on the shelves for a while because I didn't know what to do with them. Over the next few weeks, I need to make an effort to use up these items:

• "cream of" soups
• other soups (vegetable, chicken noodle, etc.)
• stuffing mix
• pie filling
• spaghetti sauce
• baked beans
  
• olives (mostly black, but a few "exotic" ones too)
• dried mushrooms
• crackers
• cold cereal
• boxed macaroni and cheese
• canned fruit
• random sauces/toppings that I don't know how to use (olive tapenade, portabella mushroom relish, red pepper spread, etc.)
