"From May through September 2010 our family of four – including our daughters who were ages 3 and 5 at the time – pledged to go 100 solid days without eating a single ounce of highly processed or refined food."

It's an interesting read. And she has a pages of "rules" about how they defined real food. ]]> Food challenges Contrary Housewife http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/food-challenges/153394-100-days-real-food.html http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/food-challenges/153271-anybody-ever.html Sun, 12 May 2013 23:18:43 GMT see poor girl eats well website? hope i am allowed to post the name...sorry if not, some nice looking recipes! see poor girl eats well website? hope i am allowed to post the name...sorry if not, some nice looking recipes! ]]> Food challenges lisaflex http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/food-challenges/153271-anybody-ever.html http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/food-challenges/153191-pammy-grocery-challenge.html Mon, 06 May 2013 13:41:55 GMT Along the lines of the gas challenge to myself, also started a grocery challenge.

Handy little calendar on my phone, just input on the date I bought groceries, amount, and going to see how long I can last on it.

For the record, I LOATHE grocery shopping and have the tendency to go long stretches between shopping. In as much, I haven't been catching the great deals on sales like I used to. And really can't anymore due to no pantry or deep freezer or the space in this little house for either. So, with that in mind, I'm armed with only one side-by-side sized freezer and 5 cabinets in which to store food and spices. So here goes, let the bashing begin lol....




Date: May 4th, 2013
Scene of the crime: local United Supermarket
Money spent: $215
Number of people to feed: 1 and occasionally a guest (daughter shows up a lot, friends, etc... I like to cook for them)
Showdown: the amount of time before a big shopping expedition is needed. *





*there will be need for fresh produce and bread type of purchases, will add the amount spent accordingly.

So wow, it's march! Also, wow I've not done any OAMC or any cooking ahead. Since our move and my chest freezer not being up here yet (hopefully this weekend) I have slacked on this front. I'm hoping others will join to kick my butt and join me in putting food up.

It can be OAMC
It could be just cooking ahead
It could be canning
It could be dehydrating

Join!

I hope to can at least one batch of strawberry lemonade jam, and put at least 10 freezer meals away this month.

Need inspiration?
