Sharpie Permanent Markers, Fine Point, Black, 2+1 Bonus

These are great for writing the best buy dates on food packages in a size that we can read at a glance, rather than pulling the packages (like cereal) out of the cupboard to find and read the dates. Having the dates big enough and in a good location to read allows all family members to use the older foods first. I also write on the outside of freezer bags with them when I freeze leftovers or portion large packages (like ground meat) from the store into smaller portions that we'll defrost and use.
