ONE whole month - No grocery Shopping! Pantry Challenge week 5!

The idea is simple: make your own rules, avoid grocery shopping as much as possible, and use up the food you already have at home. Here is a link to the video where I go over the rules I set for myself:    • Challenge Accepted: No Grocery Store for a...   No grocery shopping for the entire month with a $25 emergency budget (except for two exceptions): Exception 1: If I need goodies for my brand-new freeze dryer (I’m so excited to experiment with it!). Exception 2: Social activities, like meeting friends for coffee, or the occasional family takeout dinner. Check out my pantry tour if you haven't already where I share what’s in my pantry, fridge, and freezer in my next video so you can see what I’m starting with:    • Pantry, Fridge & Freezer Tour | Prepping f...   Why I’m doing this challenge: ✨ Save money after the busy holiday season. ✨ Prevent food waste by using up what we’ve already preserved, grown, or hunted. ✨ Learn what we use the most of and what preservation methods work best for us. I hope this inspires you to think about your own pantry and how you can use what you already have. Stay tuned for updates, meal ideas, and more as I work my way through January (and hopefully half of February) without grocery shopping! If you’re participating in the pantry challenge, I’d love to hear your rules and goals in the comments.
