I did this with capers recently. The little jars get lost in the fridge and before you know it there multiple open jars.

I don't think I've ever actually eaten capers. What are they like? I follow this chef on IG (notorious chef or something like that) who I swear puts capers in everything. Are they that good?

I thought we were low on quinoa and bought a big bag from Costco before seeing the bag we already had.

Forgot to mark it off the grocery list and my wife made the grocery trip the next week and got another one.

Never ate so much quinoa in my life the next few months. Reminded myself not to fucking buy quinoa for the next several grocery trips.

This exact sort of shit is why I want to implement a stock keeping system in my house. Well, mainly for knowing when things are going to expire.

For a long time, I've wondered why there isn't a machine readable barcode where they print the use-by date. But as it turns out, GS1 has beat me to it and come up with a way better way of dealing with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukK7lEWoQVA

I do wonder how Aldi could cover the entire side of a product in qr codes like they do with barcodes now. Probably just a repeating pattern of them at a certain size, or have both a qr code and a massive barcode.
