Our Last Official Week of Eating from the Pantry

January 18, 2010 By Dana White | 6 Comments

This is it. A week from today is . . . PAYDAY!!! When I heard about the Pantry Challenge that Moneysavingmom and Lifeasmom were hosting, I decided to do it because it was something I had been thinking about anyway. January is always a difficult month for the grocery budget since hubby gets paid early in December, and this adds at least an … [Read more...]

Pantry Challenge is Making me a Little Nervous

January 15, 2010 By Dana White | 4 Comments

I'm getting nervous. My convenience foods are disappearing. The cupboard and the fridge are beginning to look especially bare. The freezer is getting there. This is what I wanted to do. But convenience food is so . . . . convenient. My mother grew up on a farm. She had a disdain for convenience food that she passed down to me . Things should … [Read more...]

Budget, Meals, and More

January 11, 2010 By Dana White | 6 Comments

I'm enjoying the challenge of eating from our pantry and limiting my grocery/household spending to 50 in cash per week this month. Being a natural cheapskate, I get quite a rush at coming in right on budget. In the store this week I walked around and got what I needed. Then I picked up what I assumed we needed, like bread, and bacon that was a … [Read more...]

Back to Menu Planning!

January 4, 2010 By Dana White | 5 Comments

I'm ready to get back into the Menu Planning mode after the loosey-goosey holidays. Since I've committed to use up what we have and only spend 50 dollars a week for the next few weeks, I have to plan. I really don't have a choice. Besides, I'm always amazed at what a difference it makes in how the household runs when I don't have to rack my brain … [Read more...]

My Last 9$ for the Week

January 4, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

I'm not turning into a coupon blog, but since I've committed to cleaning out my pantry/freezer this month and only spending 50 a week, I thought I'd show what I got for the last 9.00 I had this week. Also included in the amount, but not pictured, are two Sunday newspapers for 2.00 apiece, purchased for the coupons, since today's paper had LOTS … [Read more...]

Scared of Commitment

January 1, 2010 By Dana White | 11 Comments

I wrote recently about participating in the Pantry/Freezer Challenge over at Money Saving Mom and Life as Mom. I'm doing it because it's something I was already thinking that I needed to do, and their challenge was a good push. One of the main things that I put in my goals was to use cash, getting out 50 for each week this month, and using … [Read more...]

A Few Projects

December 30, 2009 By Dana White | 10 Comments

I just wrote about my struggle to adjust my thinking about projects vs. progress. A finished project can't be the end of the road when it comes to home organization. Shoes don't automatically go to the right spot just because the spot is pretty. But I am definitely trying to take advantage of my looser schedule this week and get some … [Read more...]

Cleaning out my Pantry – and Hopefully Saving Money

December 28, 2009 By Dana White | 13 Comments

Most of you know that I'm a coupon freak. I'm not as obsessive or on top of it as I was when I started, but I do have quite a freezer/pantry full. I cleaned out my pantry a few weeks ago. As I expected, I found more than a few expired items. For a cheapskate, this is ultra-frustrating. We're also working on building up our emergency fund, … [Read more...]
