This month's challenge is.....use up items in your pantry before going to the store. Take time to take an inventory of what you have in your pantry and plan your meals around that.

I will need to buy meat, milk, and other dairy items this month, but other than that it will be pantry shopping for this household.

I guess I don't have a pantry? (Though I do have a room off my kitchen I call my pantry, where I store my monthly purchases) I always plan my monthly menu and buy what I need, so I never have alot left over.

I am in on this one too! I will only have to buy milk, fruits/veggies and a few other fillers - everything else I have.

USE IT UP, WEAR IT OUT, MAKE IT DO OR DO WITHOUT!!!

I am up for this challenge- there is a few things I need to get this month though (milk, other fresh items and a ham- oh and toliet paper my stockpile is running short in that department!)- but I have a freezer stocked up with so much stuff I have to play tetris anytime I need to get something out of there! I also want to use up a lot of my cleaning supplies so I can start using more "natural products".
