Classification - we can't live without it!

Reading about classification reminded me of a time when I decided to organise a month's menus for our family at a time. I decided on the recipes, drew up a table to cover the month, organised the meals so there was plenty of variety, then drew up an accompanying shopping list week by week which was sequentially organised according to the layout of the supermarket. After two months I threw it all away. We were eating like kings - gourmet meals every evening and the food bill was astronomical! I did, however, come to appreciate the classification system in the supermarket. With so many ingredients to buy each week being able to classify the ingredients on my shopping list at least helped to speed up the shopping trip. Our meals are less organised now - more a case of 'What's in the fridge to cook with?' -but at least I'm not broke! Classification? We couldn't live without it!
