Well, it's week 2, and nobody's starved! Last week's meals were great, and our pantry and freezer are still looking pretty well stocked. This challenge has proven to me how much I buy on a regular basis that we simply don't need. While I'm all about stocking up for a good deal, I'm the queen of deciding spur of the moment that I just have to make a certain meal RIGHT NOW (usually one that I see in a cooking magazine or blog) and then going out and buying all the ingredients for it. Yep, that's how we got seven different half-empty boxes of pasta in our pantry. You heard me, SEVEN!
I did buy a dozen eggs, another gallon of milk, a loaf of sandwich bread and some half and half this week. So far our grocery total for the month is 18.75. What I know is that we go through A LOT of milk.
Here's to another great week of scavenging getting creative!
