I'd say this is the last week of our eating from the pantry. We lasted 3 weeks, which I think is ok. (technically we made it 4 weeks, since the last week in December we only ate leftovers)
But, we just couldn't make it the entire month of January. :(
Here's how we did this past week:
Breakfasts:
Oatmeal muffins
Finished off the cinnamon rolls from the fridge - still have a pan in the freezer!
Oatmeal
Lunches:
mainly leftovers
Dinners:
(here was our planned menu, below is the actual menu)
Sunday - ate out lunch, leftovers for dinner
Monday - leftovers
Tuesday - Teriyaki chicken and mashed potatoes
Wednesday - I forgot to soak the beans overnight for the planned ham & bean soup, so we moved leftovers to tonight.
Thursday - Pot Roast with carrots and potatoes...Mmmm!
Friday - CrockPot Fajitas with homemade tortillas
Saturday - My mom came down and we went out for ice cream, then took the kids to McDonalds and we had Mr. Goodcents subs for dinner.
Eating Out
I think even with our multiple times of eating out during Saturday, we are still under budget for the month.
Grocery Shopping
Well, a $50 budget just wasn't in the stars this month. I went over budget already. It's tough to feed picky eaters when you're out of the only things they eat!

I hear you. I totally need to join this one. I could use a pantry cleaning. I hate it when food goes to waste.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel good to empty out that pantry! I should do this at our house!
ReplyDeleteI think you've done great!
ReplyDeleteWe've done SO well on our pantry challenge, or eat through the kitchen as we called it, but we've still gone over budget - last week was a bad week! lol... Don't worry about 'falling off the wagon' - try again this week to get back on!
ReplyDeleteSo you went over a little...you still did WAY better than I ever could have!!!!
