- I make a master list of all items that I am going to need.
- Go through that list and cross of all of the things that I already have on hand.
- Make a new list of the things that I know I don't have from the other list.
- Separate that list by store (I know what I can buy at Costco and what I will have to get at Publix)
My Monthly Newsletter (sign up now at www.nofearentertaining.com) will have all of this information figured out for you. Each recipe has a shopping list and then there is a master list of all the items you will need for the menu of the month. This Shopping List is separated into a Shopping List and then a separate Pantry list which is items that you may already have on hand.
Today was the day that I normally go grocery shopping so I was able to buy all of the non perishable items that I needed from there. I will wait until Saturday to get all of the perishable items. I will also get lots of ice so I can fill up coolers that I will use to hold the food until the party on Sunday.
I also called out local rental center today to order some extra folding chairs. If you are having a lot of people over this is something that I would recommend. I was able to get as many extra chairs as I wanted for less than $2 a piece! I never worry about there being enough table space but most people like to it when they eat.
Keeping checking back for more updates and tips!
Happy Entertaining!
Judy
