Pantry Challenge


A great blog I read for money saving advice is featuring a challenge for the month of January. The challenge is to use all the groceries in your pantry for the whole months menu and to go to the store as little as possible. I decided to join in on this. I have a decently stocked pantry and would like to use only what I have so as to save a little cash for the month. I'd like to take the kids down to the cities sometime during the month to the Children's Museum b/c they have a dino exhibit and it is pricey to get in, so I can feel better about going with all the money I'm not spending on groceries ;) I thought I'd take a before picture of my cupboard and pantry and then take one at the end. My goal is to only go to the store for milk, eggs and fresh produce for the month of January. I'm going to try to not even go for toiletries, I have stocked up some from earlier this month. My boys have been eating me out of house and home as of late, so hopefully there is still food by the end of the month! Here is my before picture:
