Here I wanted to figure out what we use on a regular basis without being too draconic about it. I plan to post a list next week about our findings. So far it's working quite wel.

There are some items which don't get used in a month, but are needed. For example: 1) My wife and I don't have people over every month, but we do so on occasion (a few times a year - an average of once every 3 months or s), so we would typically only use 2 plates in a month. However, when we do have people over, we need plates for them to eat on, so we should probably keep these (or are you advocating spending money for plates each time someone comes over?) ;) 2) we have 2 cutting boards. One small, and one large. We use the small cutting board ~95% of the time, and may go a month w/out using it. However, when i cook a large item (like a turkey), I use the large cutting board. I could get rid of the smaller cutting board, but then I would be spending more money by using the large cutting board daily, as it takes more water and soap to clean the large board. I know it's not much, but it does add up over time. I do have one issue. There are some items which don’t get used in a month, but are needed. For example:
