    I wonder if this makes me a dork! But I find it so satisfying using up supplies to the very end getting full value of money earned so when I throw away an empty container that I've used every single piece of it gives me a feeling of real satisfaction. If that escalates me into dork Ville then I guess I am there LOL😂

    Awesome..you're on a roll!!!
    I'm doing the challenge this month also..I still have many things I would like to use up...just have been focusing on getting fresh items mainly and using freezer/pantry items...and yes I also have things in there that have been thrre longer than I would like (because is also not our favorite) so have to work on those because I do not like to waste food.

    Thanks for another great video. I am going to do this in July just like in June. Uber Eats sent me a deal and from that order I made about four meals 2 lunches and 2 dinner from leftovers. Also my sister gives me leftovers weekly. They are a family of four and her husband will not leftovers and discounted food so I get it. I have her freeze it and then we see each other twice a week. We tag and date all the food good till using three to five days. Trying to find a better system to date and label. I have a list on my notes as well. We keep one on the fridge as well. I get discount meat from Safeway to it has not been good lately. Being just one person makes it hard to cook. So I batch cook for one every two months as long as I have eaten my leftovers those months. Thanks again for lots of ideas.

    I am learning so much with zero waste use it up type youtubes. thank you for making them. This month, my grocery bill has been $150 for 2 people including nonfood items. Before I started this, my food bill was $800-$1000 a month. I am now trying my hand at apple peel jelly to go on my homemade bread. I make homemade apple pies regularly

    I have never done a pantry challenge but I had really stocked up heavy during pandemic so now I am trying to use up some of the things that are getting close to there best buy date. I really feel good having a stockpile just because you never know when there is going to be a income loss or a pandemic. I don't think I will ever allow our stock to be low but I do want to make sure things are not going to be low. I will be lowering our food budget but with meal planning and not wasting I think it will be fine.

    • @savvysaute6578
      @savvysaute6578  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree with this. That’s a good outlook. We have storms, floods, etc here and we don’t want to be stuck at home without food and necessities. But we also want to use up what we have. In- out- stock up and use up.
