Pantry Raid is Over!

Okay... so last night was the first time in 8 days or since I had gone to the grocery store.

My pantry has really emptied.

Whew!

Last night after our baseball game, I drove straight to the store and stocked up on fruit, veggies and milk.

I only spent $56.03 and I think it will last me almost all week.

Raiding my pantry made me see all the frozen fish and chicken I still have in my freezer. Plus, I have lots of pasta left too!

Tonight is Pancake night.

Here was my strategy for spending so little...

I scoured the Stater Bros flyer,

only bought items I use that were on severe sale, and didn't go hungry or thirsty.

So I got (5lbs) apples at 50 cents a pound

oranges (5lbs) at the same price,

bananas

bean sprouts (2 bags)

shredded cabbage (2 bags)

whole head of cabbage

onions (5)

romaine lettuce (3)

2 gallons of milk

eggs

whole wheat bread

(I hate how much they charge for 100% whole wheat bread)

2 bottles of dressing (Ken's Steakhouse)

light sour cream

dishwashing liquid

magic erasers

tortillas

bell peppers

So my challenge is to incorporate these items into my menu for the week.

I am really trying to pare down our grocery expenditures to $100 per week.

More on how another day...

Ciao!
