Eat from your pantry challenge

Since I am getting a crash course in budget cutting I thought I would join my favorite blogger in her Eat from your Pantry Challenge. Crystal at Money Saving Mom is using up her stores in January and donating her savings to charity.

My goals for the challenge are:

• To spend as little as possible at the grocery store.
• I would like to make every meal with at least %50 of the ingredients I already have on hand.
• Go the entire month of Jan. and cut our grocery bill by 1/2

As you can see from my goals I can't make it without the local grocer. But the point of the challenge is to use what you have. So I say, bring it on.
