I appreciated the way you have done your challenge.

Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole is my all time favorite. It's just me so I buy a rotisserie chicken and get 5 meals. I make a 5 x 6 dish of the casserole.

Great video and delicious food

Thank you so much for making these videos! ❤ Unrelated but your hair looks amazing this length. ❤

Scientifically breaking down how much food costs per person is roughly 200 dollars. Any raised prices of food starves the people. Why are we raising prices? Stores have self serv stations for less spending of the stores. Are the warehouses overstocked yet from higher prices? There is a solution to that.

I'm behind on my viewing but we also had that 3.99 for 18 eggs. What a deal. Not.

😊 keeping meals simple, sticking to menu which worked for us. I didn't tell my family about challenge and I was still shopping necessity. My hubby had his favorites. I notice we had less spoiled food. Definitely will keep menu simple, rotate, rotate. Looking forward to starting my garden. I enjoy your videos and your kids eat a healthy variety of food.

Great video, Kristin!

That's how I make my stuffing! My grandma made it that way too❤

I wander why we can’t eat cheap like this all the time? I get lazy is my excuse!

I really enjoyed this series and seeing how you did this challenge! I also really enjoyed seeing your meals. Seeing simple and real life meals is so helpful!

How do u make your croutons for the stuffing?

I'm still doing the pantry challenge. Lots of goodies still left in my freezer. 😋

Love it. Thanks for sharing!

I love these videos! It's so helpful to see the price comparisons and break downs. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your meals as hard as it was. Since I was a kid I never liked people talking about my meals. I understand how uncomfortable it can be. I saw nothing wrong with your choices!

I see you shop at Aldi's. You said your husband is not a fan of spaghetti. Try the Brown Rice and quinoa organic pasta from Aldi's , it's amazing and you can't beat the taste. Just don't over cook it. Aldi's also carries the uncured grass fed beef hot dogs which are amazing compared to the traditional processed hot dogs in the stores. We are a family of 5 adults and do a full 3 month pantry challenge. We grow a huge garden and preserve as much as we can. We are well stocked on canned meats,, tuna, wild caught salmon, haddock and cod. In the summer we bulk buy dry goods like flour, sugar, chia seeds, flax seeds, organic oatmeal, chocolate chips, dry beans to last us a year. Around Sept. or Oct. I like to stock up on organic frozen berries and veggie as well as Avocado's that we don't grow. We have a stock pile of real maple syrup and local honey that we get from a friend. We also stock pile dried fruits, nuts, pop corn for popping as well to last the year. We fall short on dairy like yogurt, milk, creamers, whipping cream and cheese so we allow ourselves fifty dollars per month for those items. We raise our own chickens, ducks and quail for eggs and meat .

Loved it

Love love love my London Shine dehydrator. Hands down the BEST dehydrator I’ve ever owned. I totally agree that the cheaper ones are not worth it. I found I spent more money buying them than when I broke down and spent the money on the London shine. No regrets and one of best kitchen purchases I’ve ever made!

Enjoy very much seeing what you came up with during your challenge. That’s how we did it as well. We simply cannot afford to miss the sales, discounts and clearance food. It’s the only way I can feed my family as cheaply as I do but we did minimally buy in January. Honestly we have months like March that we have a ton of large bills coming due in addition to farm expenses like feeder pigs, seeds, fertilizer, fuel etc. so match is one we don’t buy much food, if any other than fresh milk and produce. So I love your ideas with the food with you have leftover because it helps me with ideas! I also enjoy your Kroger videos, it helps me narrow down the best deals there. We typically shop on Mondays after homeschool co-op but certain things I know will sell out quicker so i can run out Friday before doordashing! So I truly appreciate all you do! I watch from this account and my husbands on tne tv lol

I love your vids, nobody business what you eat or feed your kids! We do what we can. Ive got to figure out my last 2 shops to see my jan total but o believe was under 250. I dont budget in nonfood items. I mostly buy dairy, breads, snacks as we raise our own meat and produce. But get fresh produce and fruits during winter. I am discovering january is not the month for me for a pantry challenge...i like doing it in August myself. As our garden is in full swing.😊❤

Thank you for keeping me company during my chemo treatment Monday I really enjoy watching you and your vlogs keep me smiling in hard times getting chemo im praying for you and your family ❤❤

That's awsome

Great video!!

Thank you!! Love your videos!!

I see the purpose of a pantry challenge but I cook from my pantry and freezer already. Every month I do a big replace what I used shop plus weekly I catch the sales. I never pay full price for meat or cheese. On Friday afternoon I stand in front of my upright freezer and see what proteins wave at me and ask to be used. Then off to the store for milk and fresh produce and that one ingredient I don't have stocked to make what I want to cook. I manage to feed two of us 3 meals a day with variety for $300 a month that way.

Thank you for sharing. Always just do what you like. Others will do what they like. Ours is not to judge, but be understanding. Looking forward to more helpful videos! Hope your school fundraising goes well!

You do great being in the public eye. I was the wife of a principal but not a pastor daughter or on here. I thought just being a principal wife was hard enough. Maybe next time, just share one meal out of the week with the recipe. Example sheet pancakes. I did my challenge like you. Even at 63, you have taught me so much.

I love your channel. Can you provide the link you the food dehydrator you use? Thanks

My pantry challenge didn't go as planned. The snow we had kept me housebound for 4 days and then I had to work extra so i ate out more. Then I had dental surgery and wanted a different sort of food for recovery so I shopped for that. I will be trying again next January but for now I'm going back to shopping the sales and eating from my stored food.😊

Such cute hair! Doing a pantry challenge /low spend month. Like you we don't live on a farm so I'm buying veggies, fruit, dairy, eggs and any amazing loss leaders. I am trying to clean out my freezers so no frozen proteins. Going to restock on some frozen fruit and vegetables though. I find a month is pretty ok, month 2&3 meals get more interesting and creative. Our favourite way to use up leftover bread is the Pioneer Woman's Overnight French Toast. I usually bake it as soon as I get it all mixed up, just mix the bread and egg mixture really well together. So yummy! And it lasts us for about 3 days of breakfast so that's a win too.

The crumbly croutons would be good on poppy seed chicken

Loved the video, thank you! People get wild over food choices. 🤦🏻‍♀️ …“Their end is destruction; their god is their stomach; their glory is in their shame; and they are focused on earthly things.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬ ‭CSB‬‬ Fed is best.

Great job!!! I still continued to buy things on sale this month but really focused on using things up. There is only two of us so it takes a little time. I learned that there are a few things that I buy when they are very cheap but we don’t really enjoy them. (I’m looking at you, Betty Crocker scalloped potatoes!) So I donated the other two boxes and won’t be repurchasing. It was also fun to figure out ways to use little dibs and dabs of things rather than just tossing them.

You are so comforting and wise. I would not think of the bread use, and so much.

Loved the video! 😊

Your hair looks great. 😊

I did the challenge but I wouldn't share my meals ... too much judgement on the internet. But I was very pleased with how much money I saved and was able to divert to other goals. I plan to do at least another month as I have some things I need to use up, but may stop at that point as my anxiety about what I anticipate happening with prices and availability is increasing so I may pivot and not finish the no spend winter. One month at a time.

You did an amazing job, it was really interesting to watch but would totally understand you not wanting to film it again! You put in so much time and work on your videos, I just want to let you know I really appreciate it, I get a lot of great information from your channel🙂

I think my goals were similar to yours, but my results were a bit different. My goals were to cut my grocery budget in half, eat through my freezer (mostly meat). make a dent in my pantry, and lastly, learn where my "holes" were. I did cut my budget but not quite half, did a great job eating meat in the freezer that had been there for a bit (and learned some new recipes!) and absolutely found some "holes". I feel I did great in stocking sale items, but it appears there are items that we use often that aren't necessarily frequent sale items, my plan moving forward is to take part of my monthly grocery budget to stock up on those items, most likely at Aldi since they are usually the best price, and of course, stock up on the sales. My thought now is to do this again probably sometime this summer, curious to see how my results are then! All in all, an interesting experience and worth doing.

Bread looks so lovely!

Great job working through your pantry & freezer! 🎉
