Comments on: Upcoming Pantry Challenge – Let’s Prepare! https://www.mrshappyhomemaker.com/upcoming-pantry-challenge-preparation/ Where Old Fashioned and Modern Day Collide Sun, 19 Jul 2015 23:50:14 +0000 hourly 1 By: Amie https://www.mrshappyhomemaker.com/upcoming-pantry-challenge-preparation/#comment-60352 https://mrshappyhomemaker64452.e.wpstage.net/?p=8973#comment-60352 I’ve been talking to a friend about doing this. Though, he has 3 teens/preteens and I have a six year old(that can eat a ton). He needs to learn how to stockpile better. Whereas, I have stuff that needs to be used. I’m also showing him and his kids how to cook some things from scratch.

I am going to sit down and make my month menu out now. Great idea because I actually had no idea what was all in my freezer.

My cupboards and freezer are long overdue for a cleanout. Come March 1st, I’ll be joining you. The sheets you attached will be a great help before, during and after the Pantry Challenge to help keep everything from piling up again. Thanks so much, Crystal.

Hi Crystal, thanks for your quick response. I think you’re comments are dead-on and will use common sense and your comments as my guidelines. I so need to do this. I, too, am a queen collector of sauces and condiments; sometimes my fridge has more sauces and condiments than regular food items…but I love them. Thanks, enjoy and savor each moment.

I know there’s gonna be some professional somewhere that disagrees with me, but I use those date as more of an estimation. As for fresh stuff, use your eyes & nose. If it looks good & smells good & isn’t horribly expired – I say go for it. As for pantry ingredients, I’ve used boxes of dry pasta a year past the expiration & cans of beans 6 months past the expiration – and they tasted fine & I’m still alive & kicking. I say use them a guideline, but use your senses too!

I have just as many jello boxes stashed away – totally need to do something with them!

Time to use.
