Eat from the pantry month!

I've been inspired by a few other bloggers Sarah's Musings, Rachael, Mrs. Make-do- and because I went OVER budget in January stockpiling so much, I'm going to attempt to eat out of the pantry this month! I will spend some $$ each week on fresh produce, organic milk and eggs (perhaps $25) Anyone else want to join in the fun? I will blog about how it's going throughout!

So, for day 1 - today - I spent $20 in groceries at Target - really, I did not NEED the items, but they were sooo cheap - $.50 salsa, $.50 popcorn, free candy bar, you get the picture - but from here on out, I'm going to buckle down!

I stockpiled in January as well so I can join in. I am trying to cut $250 from our grocery budget in Feb, so we will have to eat from the pantry!
Thanks

I posted below on your cute little notebooks you created. I'm going to start soon, just had a few minor "hiccups" come up. I'll be joining you shortly.

We just finished our month of survivor as we call as we way over spent in December. It went well, I can know see what I have in my freezer. Good luck to you.
