I read this blog one time about this lady who was determined to not go grocery shopping for so many weeks. This totally intrigued me. I have a very well stocked freezer and pantry due to couponing and sale shopping, and I have been thinking about trying this. I would of course have to buy produce and milk, but other than that could I in fact go a month without grocery shopping one time?
As I was reading her post, I noticed that some days the menu was rather interesting but I bet that her family was still able to get full.
My reason for possibly considering this is because I am in the middle of multiple home improvements as you well know by now, and I would love to have the extra money to buy paint, a new rug, tile, and the many other things that keep coming up during a remodel.
Okay, I have talked myself into it! I am going to challenge myself to not go to the store for anything other than absolute emergencies!!
I will try to post each day what we are eating (as she did) so you can possibly be motivated to try it for yourself. I have found that it's always easier to try something if you have seen someone else be successful at it.
I am now so excited that I can hardly contain myself!!!!!
I have to run now and start the tremendously humongous pile of ironing that needs to be done today. I don't really mind it though because I am planning on watching the old Pride and Prejudice. It is six movies long, so it should last through the pile of ironing.
If I can do all of this today, then tomorrow I'm planning on starting the long but exciting process of sorting through summer clothes. Just another step closer to the yard sale!!
To do my part since Bruce got laid off, I decided to "shop" out of the freezer. Last night I fried deer steaks. (I'm not going to tell you the date written on the package...I found them waaay back in the freezer!!) I made roasted potatoes and salad to go with it. Delicious! I highly recommend Cavendar's Greek Seasoning for the potatoes and salad!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear of your creations!
Have you noticed all the sales on fish for lent? I have stocked up!!
