My husband (27M) keeps finishing all the food/drink that I (22F) make, and not telling anyone until after I am looking for it.

Hello Reddit, I'm on mobile, so please forgive formatting. :)

So, this is a fairly minor problem in the scheme of things, but it's infuriating nonetheless.

I make fresh bread, and sweet/unsweet tea, and lemonade at home relatively often. Usually 5-6 loaves a week, and 1 pitcher of the aforementioned drinks a day. Yes, we eat a lot of bread. But we have kids too, and they love bread.

My husband finishes the bread and the drinks nearly every day, usually before dinnertime. That wouldn't be a problem if he would just tell me when he finishes it, so I can start a new loaf/new pitcher and if I want a sweet toast for dessert, I can have that.

I've tried asking him to tell me, and he acknowledges it, but then never does. I end up wanting a drink, and we have nothing in the fridge, because he also drank our water, and didn't refill that.

When I make a big deal out of it, he'll end up leaving the smallest bit of things behind so he didn't finish them. So, instead of having a real piece of bread, I get a small part of the bread end. Or, 1/4 of a glass of tea or water.

I know it's not a huge deal, but how can I express to him that this matters, and it drives me up the wall when it happens?

TLDR: My husband eats all the bread and drinks all the drinks, and leaves none for anyone else, and doesn't tell me.
