Food remains one of our largest expenses of the year. Part of the reason is that all 5 of us eat 3 meals a day from the groceries we purchase. I have failed the pantry challenge for the month of February.\u00a0 In order to redeem myself and save us a bunch of money, we are going to do a 30 day pantry challenge. I will admit to stacking the odds in our favor as I asked the kids for what they thought they would need and we made a trip to Costco on Saturday.\u00a0 Our February Amazon subscribe and save arrives on Wednesday so I am staying positive to see how this will work.\u00a0 So far we have gone two days without going to the grocery store.\u00a0 I was able to clean out the refrigerator\u00a0and have a list of 30 something dinner meals so at this point we are off to a good start.<\/p>\n
