Wow, I have so much food!
I must be getting better and better at grocery shopping because I still spend about the same, maybe even shop less often, but it seems like my cupboards keep growing and growing! I really need to start eating out of my cupboards more. I have a bad (?) habit of snacking on my produce, yogurt, granola, rice cakes and some other things. I feel like I'm always buying those things but never getting through all my other food. At this point I think I could survive for like 2 months on what's just sitting in my kitchen!
I suppose it's nice to know that out of the food I already have my dinner options include two types fish, with various rice, pastas, various soups, veggie stiry fries maybe, french fries, no maybe baked potatoes, garden burgers, ooh maybe quesadillas... haha
Maybe this will be my money saving challenge till the end of July when I move in with my fiance.

That's great, it sounds like you have a wonderful stockpile. I need to get better about stocking up and then not eating out of my stockpile right away.

Pace yourself!
Good for you, it is a good feeling.

look at it this way...you never know when all that extra will come in handy, even if it is only because you don't feel like going grocery shopping.

That's wonderful the cabinets are full. I have to start working on mine after the remodel.

Well it certainly wasn't intentional and it's by no means a real stockpile. I just don't know how it keeps not being eaten. What am I eating all day?!
