LifeHacking Your Grocery List: Who has time?

I don't know. I read this article by J Wynia about how to make your life easier by cutting back on buying food you don't need. We all have cabinets full of ingredients we buy because maybe we'll use them, 10 cans of diced tomatoes or 3 jars of peanut butter (true story) because you can't remember at the store whether you have any left. His solution? A complex system of index cards and note-taking. Supposedly, once you go through the cycle, it takes over and there's not as much to keeping it up. But for people like me, who like to try lots of different recipes and not rely on the same ones night after night, I'm not so sure this is worth the effort.
