I *should* be doing this challenge b/c we we need to defrost our chest freezer and my basement pantry shelving unit, I have bigger and better plans for this upcoming year. Both of these need to be cleaned out/eaten through/donated.
Plus January-March is usually pantry depleting season as the grocery sales are horrible during this time.2012: The Year Of The Purge!
