One Day Until the Challenge Begins!

A New Year!

Tomorrow I begin the Pantry Challenge and the frugal in me is so excited! I want to see how our pantry serves us and what changes I may need to make. Do I have enough canned corn? Did I freeze too much zucchini? How much meat do we actually go through? I am hoping to get the answers to these questions and more during the month of January!

 

Pantry Challenge 2021

The Food Room

The Pantry/Food Room Challenge

Starting this January 2021 I am going to be joining The Three Rivers Homestead pantry challenge. Mine will be a tad modified to fit our circumstances. The goal is to eat just from your pantry and freezers for the month of January! Because we are not able to grow our greens I am going to go ahead and purchase salad greens and bananas throughout the month, but that's all! 

Some of the reasons that Jessica from three rivers homestead gave for doing this challenge were to save money, check out the status of your pantry and to clear out food from the previous year to make room for the upcoming harvest year. I love this, although because I spend so little on food already my main goal is to clean out my pantry and freezers!

A few months ago I had made up a month's worth of meals and had purchased the food needed for those meals to last for about 6 months. But I am also flexible in my menus so that I can use up the 20 or so spaghetti squash we grew, and the onions and zucchini and all of the other great foods we canned and froze. I am excited to see the results of this challenge and look forward to taking you along for the ride.

Okay family, let's see how this goes!
