Money Saving Mom and Life as Mom are doing an Eat from the Pantry Challenge for the month of January and are putting it out there for others to get involved as well. I think this is a really cool idea. I have very full cupboards and a VERY full freezer right now (currently defrosting my garage freezer...talk about creativity--trying to cram all of that into an above the fridge freezer! Wow!!). I use my stuff but with all of the deals I just keep adding...and adding...and ADDING! I think it would be great to use up some of the stuff that I have...and have the opportunity to get creative...and it's also a chance to save some money. Tonight I came home from the grocery store and Tim asked me if I'd bought a new freezer and fridge while I was out! LOL! :) I could not buy any freezer items due to our lacking a freezer right now but I would have liked to. And let's just say my fridge is a little cramped right now with all of the meat I bought.
So, I am going to give this a try. I don't know that it will be too hard considering my sister & I are doing a big cooking day on Thursday and filling our freezers with meals (hence the need to defrost the garage freezer). I might have to do it for February too to make it more of a challenge!?! Anyway...over the course of the month I know that I will need to buy milk (some people freeze milk...I cannot bring myself to do this), fresh produce and possibly bread. I may have the urge to pick up the deals that are free or nearly free though...kind of hard to pass those up! And if Skippy Peanut Butter goes on sale for a cheap price...I'll definitely have to break down and buy it. The peanut butter stash is getting really low.
Anyone else up for this??
