Similarly, as the primary grocery-shopper, while I have a pretty good mental inventory of what comes *in* to the house, the struggle here involves getting the *rest* of the house to participate and keep me apprised of things getting consumed. The boy pulled the last shampoo from backup; the daughter snagged the penultimate roll of TP; my sweetheart made herself a sandwich and now I lack sufficient bread for kids' school lunches in the morning.

Fortunately, my beloved does a lot of Lean at work, so we usually communicate my intended "kanban" levels of backstock and she'll usually let me know if we get low enough that it's time to restock. But tracking the *out* rate is as important as (and more difficult here than) tracking the *in*.
