Clean Out Your Cupboards, Week 3
Welcome to the Clean Out the Cupboards Challenge, co-hosted by me (Crystal) here at Mrs. Happy Homemaker, Laura at Frugal Follies, Denise at Shopper Strategy, Robbie at Going Green Mama, and Rebecca Jean at Midnight Maniac.
Wow, I have made it to Week 3!! I have somehow managed to do pretty well again! I had no idea how well my pantry was stocked! I made one trip to the store this week, but only for things to make some homemade baby food, milk, eggs, butter, juice, & some fresh fruit. Total spent was less than $40.
I almost ran out to the store to buy some noodles, but instead I substituted the noodles from a few boxes of mac n’ cheese that really needed to be used up, and my kids used the powdered cheese mix on a bag of popcorn. Which, by the way, if you haven’t tried that…you should!
I think that I will do well again this coming week too. I still have enough left in the pantry to make another weeks worth of meals, but I sure will be glad to go & restock everything. It really surprises me on how well stocked I was though. I really didn’t realize how much of surplus of food we had in there!
For those of you participating, how have you been doing? Leave a comment & let me know! If you are a blogger, link up below.
