I don’t ration all that much. I do use menu plans and try to use up things in the pantry before going to the store. We aren’t 100% self-sufficient yet so if I run out I will go to the grocery store, but I do live by the “make do” code as much as possible. We have eaten a lot more soups this year, so I’m now saving all bones from any meat products we eat in the freezer to make giant pots of stock. For now, I’ve been buying soup stock in bulk from my local Azure Standard co-op and I don’t want to be doing that…

do you ration your goods? ie. if you have 36 qts of tomato sauce do you use 3 per month? or do you just use until it’s gone?
