Plan a meal before buying more
Start with the food already in your fridge or cupboard. Record the items you want to remember and their label dates. A food inventory gives you a place to look before a shopping trip, especially when a package has disappeared behind something else.
Make a small inventory you will maintain
Begin with a few items you often forget. Record a recognizable name and the date from the package, then review the list when deciding what to cook. Update the inventory when you use or discard an item. A smaller, current list is more useful than a complete list you stop maintaining.
Use reminders as a prompt to check
The published listings describe notifications and widgets for keeping upcoming dates visible. Notifications depend on your device settings. Use a reminder to inspect the item and choose what to do with it; a saved date is information you entered, rather than a measurement of the food.
