Being Frugal: Pantry challenge
Lynnae at Being Frugal has a post on Save money by eating out of your pantry.
A snippet:
Regardless of how you shop. at one time or another, you will likely find that you have a little of this and a little of that in your pantry, and you need a way to use it.
That’s when I like to do a pantry challenge. When my pantry starts getting a little full, and I’m a little strapped for cash, I challenge myself to make meals strictly from my pantry for a predetermined amoutn of time … usually a week.
This is why I stock up during grocery and drugstore sales deals if the product is something my family will use before it expires, even if we don’t use it that week.
I know darn well there will be weeks when we have to pay other bills, and anything I can do on the grocery expenses will help with the cash flow on those times.
This week, my stock ups included eight cans of Progresso soup.
