One of the blogs I follow regularly, Money Saving Mom, is hosting an "Eat From the Pantry Challenge" for the month of January, and I have decided to give it a try.
As I posted earlier, one of my own goals is to only spend $75 per month on groceries. Well, this weekend I went to the grocery, grabbed some really great deals and spent $77.47 (darn tax!) I purchased a ton of stuff that will hopefully last us the month. I will have to buy more milk, as that is pretty much all Little A will drink. I have lots of spaghetti noodles, so if you have any great recipes that call for noodles (other than traditional spaghetti) I would love for you to share them with me.
So there is a peek in my pantry. I'm going to give the ol' meal planning a try, so I'll be sure to update you as we go along. I really believe that planning out our meals on paper will be a huge help - especially since I never get home until after 6:00 each night. Look out crock pot and pressure cooker, I think we're about to become close friends!
Best of luck with the pantry challenge! Hopefully it will save all of us time and money this month!
