Such a great way to stay creative in the kitchen while saving money! Loving the inspiration for meal planning!

2 Adults and a 13yr old that eats the same amount as we do, 7 cats, a dog and 2 beta fish LOL! .. We live in a very small rural area, about 3hours from stores so I shop bulk for all staples, meats etc, and just buy fresh produce, bread type items and cold stuff on a weekly basis .. I rotate as I replenish bulk items so I dont want those to go down to much since our 1 grocery store is very expensive and I only buy what I have to buy from there, occasionally there is decent sales that I pick up but usually we like to do out of town trips to do big grocery shops.. Ive been doing a food challenge twice a year for several years now, mostly to use up odds and ends, half used packages, frozen leftovers that sort of deal, so I still shop as normal during the challenge (fresh produce, bread type items and cold stuff), but I focus on using those items during the challenge ... this year I did a pantry update and found things that we arent going thru as frequently as others so I will focus on using that and wont buy bulk in the future, eg. certain canned good during case sales ... and really low on some stuff that I now know to buy more off when either buying during out of town trips, case sale or ordering online in bulk ... I really like the challenge because it makes you take inventory and look at what you have on hand, what your using and not using

I found electrolytes esp potassium and sodium and magnesium along with acupuncture to help with dizziness

Just 2 adults here, and sometimes a teenage grandson who eats like a horse and is spoiled as well. We grow our own meat, garden. We can, freeze dry, and freeze make ahead items like burritos. We do a lot from scratch, but have convinience items b/c we both work ft. Im a stna and pull 12s 3days a week and he works m-f in a laborious job. So like crackers, snacks but try to buy healthier choices. I wont forgo keeping my pantry stocked during a challenge especially if its a sale or coupon like for coffee, peanut butter etc...i do have a discount grocery nearby as well. I shop at a meijers mainly. So far ive spent 97$ but some was stocking up, the rest was grandson😂. Besides for milk or buns i could easily skip the store. But sales are good this week so we shall see! We cook from our larder and freezers. Ive got chili on the wood stove, ive got pastry ready to roll out and make homemade handpies with some apples i needed to use. 😊❤ level 2 snow er here and glad i didnt have to work today!

Is bison like venison my nephew hunts and blesses me with gifts of lots it i am single and with beef being $5.00a pound i thank God

I’m doing the challenge for the second time. I am a family of 1. I can, dehydrate and freeze. Tonight’s dinner and lunch prep was beef enchiladas and garlic ginger pork stir fry. For me, no eating out, no grocery store for the first month and 1 new recipe a week. Good luck to everyone.

I find it hard cooking for two with out so many left overs I do freeze somethings . But after 2 or 3 day's even just lunch an a new dinner more left overs.

I'm doing the pantry challenge for the first time! I will only go and get fresh produce, milk and eggs occasionally. I haven't gone to the grocery store since Christmas week. And to answer your question: it's only me and my cats no other people here! But to be fair, I do not have a homestead or any home canned/preserved food. What I do have is a fridge/freezer combo in the kitchen and a chest freezer. Both are very full. I also have a good amount of canned and dry goods in my cabinets. I hope to get through two months with hardly any shopping! I am confident I can do at least a month!

Black eyed peas 🤤

Hey! Amazing job on ur blanket! It looks very cosy. I’m currently doing one for the year my son was born 2024. It’s my second attempt I messed the first one up a lot. I’m only up to Feb but I thought I would keep going at my own pace. I know I’m massively behind haha. Almost a whole year behind. But anyway what stitch did you use. I’m a beginner too. I decided to use double crochet and now I’m realising it’ll be way to big and im a bit upset about it. It takes me forever to do one row. I’m not sure if I should restart or not and just make it smaller in general it’s too big both ways I think

IT ATE IT SWALLOED IT DEVOURED❤❤❤❤

Usually on the neck of the bottle it self for the syrup

I love the colors they worked so well together like good job too i dont think i coupd ever so props to you

Beautiful 😍

Wow great self discipline and dedication ❤

Awesome !! Way to commit! The ends look so cool- what did you do ??

What are the final dimensions? Love your blanket!! ❤

🎉🎉🎉 So eine schöne Idee, ich liebe solche Projekte. Schade, dass man die Decke nicht als ganzes sehen kann, zum Beispiel auf dem Bett, damit man das Muster besser erkennt.

I did one about 6 years ago. It was such a fun project. I’m planning on doing another one, but this time for our first year of marriage so it is going to start July 20th 2024 our wedding day and go through July 19th 2025.

I am similar to you, in that I told my husband that other than milk or eggs or fresh fruit, we are going to follow the challenge as though as of yesterday we were stormed in and couldn’t get to the store. We get a veggie box every other week and a meat box once a month from an organic farm and it has already been paid for last September. I have finished my home canned inventory, now I am working on my pantry inventory and lastly I will be working on my freezers inventory. Good luck!!

Congratulations and great work! it looks so cosy 😍

Hello, We also live in CO. I will be doing the pantry challenge this year also. We did it last year, but towards the end of January we stopped. This year will be much more successful because we mostly eat from the pantry now. Before we ran to the store any time we wanted something else. I have over 1000 jars canned of a bunch of items we eat. It is my love language to can and feed my family. My grown children come over and shop the pantry for any items they are running low on. So we are much more prepared this year. I also don't have a cow or any way to get fresh milk so we will be allowing ourselves dairy items and produce for only small purchases. Good luck with the challenge.

Congrats! I just finished my 2024 temperature snake!

I’m going to try to make a 2025 temperature snake :)

So cool!! Happy 2025 ❤❤❤

Congratulations!!!!!! It Looks amazing!!❤️

Excited to start my first one on the 1st!!

Another video of "look what I have!" Cutting boards, cookware..... next!

A no buy year for 2025 . I'm gonna just buy : my NEEDS and not WANTS .

Any no buy content is great for me

I am still trying to wrap my head around a NO Buy year. I think I am going to aim for a no spend Jan and Feb along with a Pantry Challenge and then re-evaluate at the end of the end of Feb. to see if I want to keep going. That cutting board with your logo is a wonderful gift!

This should be more viral! As a crocheted this looks like so much work 😅

Thanks! I’m 50 our grandparents had so little and yet they were the happiest people ever! We truly don’t need all the junk including the junk unhealthy food from the store

Wish I had someone local where I could do this.

Good morning! We are a family of 4, so we will have a budget of $50 per week for diary and produce.

Ted is stealing the show and my heart! I can't wait to see the finished blanket.

Love it

Not the fluffy helper😂 so cute

Have you been diagnosed with veneers disease? Or checked your home for hidden mold?

I made a baked oatmeal, using pumpkin and dried cranberries. It was delish!!

How will you be using the ground bison? Chilli, perhaps?

I appreciated what you said about hormone-grown chickens, but chicken breeds are not all small.

I have had the same health issues you have had. Have you gone to a pulomnary/cardi dr? I have neurocardiopulomonary syncope.

I’m doing the Three Rivers Challenge also. It’s just two of us.

Cool idea! Looks beautiful ❤

Love the bins in the freezers. Looks very organized.

Great work!! ❤

Congrats 🎉🎉🎉
