In my new effort to save money I have started my own personal challenge to see how long I can avoid going to the grocery store. In the past I would go every day, or at least have my husband pick up something on his way home from work. But at the beginning of the week I looked at our pantry and realized just how much we already had on hand. I was already stocked up on fresh fruits, veggies and milk. So far I've made it 5 days without going to the store which is not only a money saver, it's also a time saver. Tonight we are having homemade pizza and I'm making the crust from scratch. I think we'll be able to make it through the whole weekend without breaking down and going to the store. Might have to go back on Monday for a few more fresh ingredients, but I think I'm off to a good start.
