We're not in a place where we can skip the grocery store altogether, but I will be meal planning around what is in our freezer and pantry! Then I will try to shop as minimally as possible. I suffered job loss last month, so the budget is tight but excited to keep costs down with my own version of this challenge!
I'm doing the pantry challenge for the first time! I also have a nice cookbook collection that doesn't get used as much as it should-so I'm going to include a cookbook challenge and try one new recipe every week from my cookbooks as part of my challenge!
That’s a great idea. Good luck
I've been eagerly awaiting your video. My town is flooding at present & so many people have lost their homes & cars. Thankfully no lives lost as far as I'm aware. I just needed something that makes me smile & Sunday nights that's you. So thank you for brightening what has been a tough day. Have a blessed week.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family and your community 🙏🙏🙏love from South Africa ❤
I am so sorry to hear that. Stay safe 🙏🏻
Sorry the read about your flooding. Kind regards Rustenburg South Africa
We are downsizing and decluttering to get ready to move next year. This will be a great opportunity to get back to the freezer and cans I have so not as much to move!!
Merry Christmas to all of you at Three Rivers!!
I did this last year. Jan, Feb, Mar....amazing whats in the pantry that really needs to be used. How creative you can get! Loved it!
Yay!! This is my favorite time of the year to watch your videos!!
After 3-4 years of watching your videos and dreaming of our own homestead, we are finally here!! This will be our first winter here in our homestead!! We’ve been super busy building our house this year before the snow came, so we weren’t able to have quite the garden of my dreams to preserve all of the goodies that you do… but I am going to do my best to follow along and see how far we can get!! Thank you for inventing this challenge and for being such an inspiration for me!!😊
We have been living like this off and on for years due to my husbands line of work. We would pack away and grow as much as we could in plentiful months to make it through winter slow down. The last two years though things have been extremely ruff for us. We are recovering from a housefire and money is so extremely tight. We are starting the challenge right after Christmas and will go as long as we can. We will need to purchase a few items a month like dairy, vegetables and fruits. I'll share our progress on here. Wishing everyone blessings that are struggling currently. Hold strong and have faith, God bless and thank you three rivers homestead for guiding everyone through this.
This is a very real and practical challenge. March of 2020 I needed to know everything in our house and how long it would last. I had 6 weeks of meals that I planned out. We had dry goods that would have lasted us longer, but this is what we had fresh, freezer and canned. I now have a lot longer supply, but it’s good practice to know what you have 😊 We eat a lot of veggies so that is what we ran out of first:) Also it’s eye opening how fast you actually go through food! Also be careful not to deplete your supply because things happen ….
You need to do a video on what products you use on your hair and upkeep. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! So shiny and healthy.
This will be my first pantry challenge that goes beyond a week. So, I’m stretching out beyond my comfort zone. Thankfully, my family is on board with me. I’m excited! ❤🥙🍞
Good morning Jessica! I plan to join you this year on the challenge. I just started canning this year and have been pretty successful. Almost too successful, I am out of salsa and pickles and only have one jar of green beans left. My grandkids have found that Nana makes the best salsa and pickles so every visit empties two jars…lol. A lot of my garden ended up being eaten fresh for the same reason. I still live within the city limits and I plan on adding to my cash to go towards my own homestead, we are very close and hope to move this summer. Thank you for all your videos, I never miss them❤❤❤
I’ll be joining this challenge and jump in as I just learned this today. I need to use up food from my pantry and freezer. Some of them are expiring and expired but I’m careful not to throw away the good ones. I do like buying fresh milk and eggs from the store and other items that we only need in a week. Hopefully I can do this challenge for 2 or more months. This is a good eye opener of how much the food I have can go. Thank you so much for sharing this challenge! ❤️🙏
I love this challenge! I do not have any social media channel but commit to the 2 month no grocery store challenge. It cleans out my pantry and freezer, introduces new recipes and I feel so accomplished by March 1st. Plus it introduces me to other TH-camrs . Thank you Jessica- warm holiday blessings to you all.
@claudialeger3208 I don't have a channel either but I found a local friend to join me and help me keep accountable! It was great fun sharing what we were doing each day! We plan on doing it again this year, well I guess next year technically! :)
Good morning Jessica. We had to watch church service on tv this morning due to illness so I am very excited to be able to sit down with a cup of coffee and watch your video early. Have a wonderful week and as always may the peace of God be with you and your family this week 😊
I am so excited. I am a widow and live alone and I am retiring in December, going to use my resources at home! Have lots of food preserved! Thanks for all you do
Same here and need to get motivated to Can up another 7 quarts of dry beans for winter soup season. Anna In Ohio
I am alone too. 73 yo and love to can, dehydrate,and preserve food. I need to eat what I've canned and see what I liked or dislike. Good like to us.
Me too 77yo l’m one of those who hates to open the jars I’ve worked so hard to can so this will be helpful for me
We’re doing the challenge!! Feeling good about cleaning out our freezer and canning goods that we canned last year !!
Been looking forward to this for the past month! I'm so excited to participate this year.
I can’t wait! I love watching your videos. The pantry challenges are my absolute favorite!!! Good luck!
I'm so excited! This past week I went back and watched all your videos from last year about the challenge and I'm excited to do it this year too!
I love seeing how you use what you have. You really have inspired me over the years to just shop my pantry first. I've been doing a pantry challenge for what seems like months so we can afford Christmas but I might see if we can do more after Christmas just to test out how much we really have stored. I also could probably can some beans and broth while I'm at it lol
First year to give it a try. A great way to rotate out those canning jars. Blessings on your family Jessica.
I'm almost ready! One more trip to the store. I always look forward to this. I have my list of meals to choose from.
Hi Jessica❤ I look forward to doing this challenge every year. It actually pays my heat bill when I don’t grocery shop. I have been doing this since November 1 and plan on going until March break if possible. I went to the grocery store for a couple of fresh things for Christmas because my sister and her husband are coming over for a couple of days. If not for that I wouldn’t have done even that. I think it’s fun to see how long it can last😊 It’s so satisfying to eat pantry meals and clean stuff out for next season. Merry Christmas beautiful lady❤
Great approach! Congrats!
I'm in this year... let's do this! I have a lot going on in my freezer and pantry from my garden and good finds at the stores so I definitely need to do this to prepare for this coming gardening season. Good luck to us all, God bless everyone, merry Christmas, happy new year and good wishes and prayers to all.
I absolutely love watching the challenge videos!
Excellent, Jessica! This is also my favorite challenge. I will join you on TH-cam again this year. Thanks so much for being such an inspiration! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!
This will be my first pantry challenge. I’ll be going to the store twice a month for milk and fresh fruit. Looking forward to the challenge!
So exciting!!! We are joining you 😊
I can not say what an influence you have had on my life, thank you and bless you for all the things you share and teach.
I love your hair! So beautiful! I enjoy the challenge months. I'm not 100% faithful (we at times eat out- depending on how we feel), but I get this wonderful sense of accomplishment when I use up most of my pantry. I need to inventory our freezers. We have a small chest freezer and the one on the fridge. We are only 3 in our home, so inventory will not be difficult. Enjoy your break and see ya back in a few weeks. *Hugs*
Yes! Yes! Yes! I’m so excited to get this going with all the videos. I actually started December 1st and going through end of February.
I’m so excited to do the pantry challenge again! This will be our third year. First year we only did January (don’t even know why 🤷🏻♀️)
So excited, these are my favourite videos that you make!
This challenge is always so much fun. Looking forward to participating again this year! Thank you for coordinating this challenge!
Totally want to try this! I think I will do one giant shopping trip at the end of December and try to do the whole month of January. Thank you for the inspiration!
Looking forward your creative cooking.
God bless you all at the homestead 🎄
😂i must be an exception..havet been to the store since may..as we eat outof the garden..then i USUALLY go around Thanksgiving but just for deals on items i cant make..chocolate, bulk sugar and some flours for baking.
Pretty self sufficient here..but this is great just to see how others manage.
Merry Christmas Jessica and Friends here.. I look forward to the challenge, while I don't go All In it does make me more mindful of using what I have and avoiding the store as much as possible. I am saving up for a home improvement project in the spring having my kitchen floors replaced the old linoleum with a different type I expect it to run around $1000 so saving money is the goal. Its always interesting to see what others on here are doing and making. That is a great way of looking at including the savings for your animal feed, there comes a time when we have all the kitchen gadgets we can possibly use though there is always something new and shiny to tempt us lol. Anna In Ohio
I'm looking forward to this challenge and getting some new ideas as well. This is our 3rd year. I'm not "prepared" for it this time so that will be interesting. I did give myself a $25/week emergency fund but this will be a good lesson on what I have been successful and less than successful in putting up this year. I get the rut issue you're having as we are going through the same thing. Some days I don't even want to eat because I can't figure out anything new. Same 'ole same 'ole. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday with family and friends.
Look forward to watching the challenge. Have a Very Merry Christmas
Looking forward to joining you again. I plan to go from January 1-March 31 as i did last year. It was great fun!!!
Your videos on sundays is My treat after chores... just sit for the half hour with a fresh cup of coffee ...
I have watched this every year. I am so glad you invented this challenge!!!
Looking forward to it!!! 🙌🏼
I'm in!!!! Great idea, thanks!
Love this challenge!! I'm in!
Good morning my friend, we are doing it this year, hubby had shoulder replaced, he’s off work, so stocked my pantry, freezers, and here we go! Excited to see and share the fun! You’re such a blessing! Have a blessed day!❤😊
Hi Jessica!!! Sending love and light to you and your family. Happy home church day!! May you feel blessed this week.
Lots of happiness to you.
Your Michigan Fan and Friend Araminta ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
I was planning on doing this for the month of January when I came across your video! I’m excited to join this year!
Can’t wait to see your videos live watching them! Not able to join the challenge fully but I make changes wherever I can to save money.
Thank you so much for doing the pantry challenge. It has really helped me to be much more intentional about our food supply. It’s also helped be more organized.
Our weather has been beautiful this autumn. Our fall garden is going strong. Fingers crossed our weather holds out. We will have some fresh produce for the pantry challenge this year.
Thank you for the year's videos Jessica, I did not comment all the time but watch it all, Merry Christmas
Oh wow... awesome! I am going to do my best to participate again this year, looking forward to it!
I did the last one for the first time. I used the savings to pay CSA membership including shares of beef,, and garden stuff. Looking forward to this next one.
Will be joining you this year on the pantry challenge even if we do not live on a homestead. Good way to use up what I have canned/frozen and to challenge myself with being creative with meals. Also will be doing a no spend for January and February. Will try to do a low spend for the rest of the year. I want a challenge and think this will fit the bill.
I've been watching for a while, but this is my first year of really jumping in. I'm planning to grocery shop for a few things but my goal is to keep the grocery bill at or under $50/week including pets and all baby needs (including diapers and wipes)! I'm super excited to see how low I can go with the grocery bill and how much we can set aside.
Can't wait to see your recipes!
I wish you and your lovedones a merry christmas! Many greetings from the Netherlands, Enny.
I’m excited this is my first year participating I live alone but I do can and can a lot this year and have picked up a few meats that were on sale so my freezer is stocked. I can’t wait to see what I can come up with for the next two months it’ll be exciting.❤
Thank you Jessica. I think I will try to honor the spirit of the challenge
I love your means of the week !
My goal is to use what is in the pantry and freezers first before buying additional meat/canned/dry goods. 3 grown men in the house and we don’t have a homestead so I go through 3 dozen eggs a week plus 2 gallons of milk… so… just gonna try to save as much as possible in January. That’s the goal. I usually spend around 1500 a month so anything I can save will help!
This is our 3rd year doing your challenge. Cannot wait!
Jessica, I love your pantry challenge!
Looking forward to following along as you get more and more creative ❤😊
I may follow along for some weeks, I have to look into it, but it’s good to eat up before adding more/new 😊
Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
Just found this on a friend's recommendation. We are participating, with a couple of exceptions: grocery store for perishables only and stocking up on things like oatmeal and grits. Otherwise, we are right in there with you. We have food that we have to figure out how to use up. We need to only stockpile that which we use.
Love your challenge. I think we all need a recipe book. Anybody who comes up with special recipe. I'll be watching. Didn't get a Garden out this year. With the death of my daughter and brother. It didn't just happen.
Hugs. That makes trying to keep forging ahead really difficult. It took me a little over 2 years to recover from the deaths of my youngest brother and brother in law. I can't even imagine losing one of the kids. Forge on, but be sure to give yourself grace on the days when you "just can't". 💖
I think we’re going to jump in on this! Definitely need a break from the store
Looking sharp in your new eyewear! 😀
2 years ago I decided to use what’s in my pantry and only buy what I had to… year round. I do have a large garden and preserve extensively. I have stopped buying things like ketchup, apple cider vinegar, salsas, all tomato products, soups, applesauce, breads, pickles, vegetables etc. since I’ve started making my own. It’s amazing how little I buy now. Your creativity has definitely helped my family! Thank you Jessica!
First year seriously freezing and preserving from garden, so goal is to try and follow for January and as long into February as possible.
Wishing you all a happy Christmas from UK 😊
I'm on board again as well too. I too am looking for new recipes to change things up in our menu plan. I ordered beef gelatin and yesterday made my first fruit juice jello.(I have a lot of cranberry juice to work through). Finding creative ways to use up things that we have. 😊
I am doing this challenge as I can. Even if you cannot do it wholly, you can work on what needs to be used up and replaced or get a few jars back. I underline that "jars back" ! Again jars are getting scare on the ground, as more people around us are getting wise to the fact of canning and dehydrating. Inventory1st!
Heard about this on Little Mountain Ranch channel and im super excited to be joining you all in this challenge. I started today! I do have to go for milk. I have freezers full of meat and frozen veggies and fruit so im really hoping i can make it with just going for milk.
I am going to be doing the pantry challenge for the first time. I have a full freezer and foods in my pantry and food storage. I also am officially retired as of January 1st. So it will take at least a month before my retirement budget will be finalized.
I did an inventory of my freezer and will plan my menus from what I have available from it and my shelves. I live in a city, I have a garden during the summer. Right now it is way too cold to grow outside. That will happen come May in my area.
Hi Jessica , enjoy your time with family. Merry Christmas also to you and your family. Ty for all you do. Be blessed friend.
I'm doing it again this year also. It really helps cut down on my stuffed freezer. And puts more money toward bills. Thank you Jessica.
Hi & Happy New Year. I'm here from Rachel Connelly's Channel. I'm excited to find other people doing this "challenge" I didn't know it was a thing, but it is something I do a few times a year.
I Love your pantry challenge!! Merry Christmas
I wish I could…but I try this as much as I can ..I freeze my bread.. if I need milk, I will buy shelf stable milk most of the time I need it for cooking so that works. I also have powdered milk on hand butter. We stock up on butter in the freezer. We try to stock up on everything I too, do not like to get out to the stores. I don’t like all the hustle and bustle, and some people are so rude, I don’t go out in the weekends. I do everything Monday through Friday and we stay in because there’s plenty to do in this house.
She's ok guys, she has an update on the community page. Hubby is home while schools on break and they are tucking in and enjoying family time. Happy New Year everyone!
I enjoy watching all your videos every year in the pantry challenge showing the meals you make. Love the way you are so organized and plan ahead for daily, monthly and seasonal food, family, garden and life events! 😀💖🌟
This will be my first year doing the pantry challenge. My husband and I have been doing inventory and preparing with purchasing the last few items needed. We will allow the dairy and fresh produce. Other than that we will not be going to the grocery store. I have been reading the comments below and am shocked how many people will be doing this challenge. I don't have any social media other than facebook, so I might use the hashtag on there so I can post for my friends and family my progress. We will be traveling the first 2 days so our challenge will begin Jan 3rd. May you all have a very blessed Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to watching all of the video's you will be posting.
Looking forward to this challenge I'm always amazed at how much I save during this time. Thank you for inspiring us to do this. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I’m a family of 1. I’m having my kitchen redone in February. So I’ve been doing my own version of this since November. So I’m continuing until Habitat for Humanity comes to take all my cabinets and appliances.
An intriguing notion, but I cannot empty my shelves of my food preservation items or empty my freezer before I am assured of a successful harvest this year. We are in a year of uncertainty, and I won't deplete my resources just because. A review & updating my inventory list & purposefully using up the oldest freezer items I can understand, with plans to replenish during this time.
That is my logic too. With all the shortages throughout the epidemic,I’m never taking that risk again.
I love this philosophy! No waste of food🙌🏻. ❤
Thank you Jessica for this challenge.
Such a fun challenge ! Jessica , your hair looks beautiful curled ! I just bulked up on my 6 months worth of flour ( gonna buy more next month ) I’m looking forward to canning beans ( we just went through our last jars ! 😮 so I gotta get to work ! You do really good with your budget ! I will be growing all our chickens and turkeys this spring :) it feels so good to be able to put up meat when it’s so incredibly exspensive! That money I save will pay for animal feed ! Many blessings to you and your
Family !!!!!! Hugs ! Merry Christmas!
So excited!!
There are so many creators that participate it keeps growing
Enjoy your family time!
Have a glorious week!
-K
I've been looking forward to this challange
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
This is my first pantry challenge. I've been thinking ahead about how to make yogurt and butter from my powdered milk. Freezers and shelves are ready 😊
New subscriber here. I am loving all your videos and admittedly have been watching them on repeat. You have mentioned your son has serious dairy allergies so you can’t have cheese. I’m not sure if you have ever looked into potato and carrot recipe to make cheese. There are cashew ones but that’s pricey. It would be a great way to use your jarred carrots and potatoes. Just search potato and carrot nacho cheese. It’s delicious and nutritious! Just a side note, it is only good when heated (eating it cold is not as tasty. Love your videos! Can’t wait to see what you come up with on your pantry challenge!
Here is the one I use. You just put it all in a high speed blender until smooth and heat on the stove. You can add less jalapeños if the littles are not into heat.
▢ 1 C white potatoes, peeled and cubed cooked until soft
▢ ½ C carrots, peeled and cubed cooked until soft
▢ ¼ C vegetable oil
▢ ¼ C nondairy milk
▢ 2 teaspoon lemon juice
▢ 6 pickled jalapeño slices
▢ 3 tablespoon jalapeño pickle brine
▢ 1 tablespoon tomato paste
▢ 1 ½ teaspoon arrowroot flour
▢ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
▢ 1 teaspoon onion powder
▢ 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
▢ ½ teaspoon sea salt
I’m joining this year again too! I think this is our third or fourth year doing this. Only allowing for A2 milk or emergencies. Will reevaluate at the end of January to see if we go into February.
I’m doing your challenge for the first time. Plus a pantry makeover in February. I’m excited to see if I can make it the whole 2 months lol. My husband says I’m addicted to Walmart delivery. I made a video and added the hashtag. It will help me make more videos as I’m trying to grow my channel. I need to make room in every freezer and organize and use up stuff. The only items I will need is dairy and fresh vegetables.
I will try to do your pantry challenge even though there is only me I need use the stuff in my freezer and cabinets. Wish me luck. Bless your great family
Going to give this a modified try. Totally lost track of time so I had to put in one more order at Walmart today lol. Can't go without goodies for husband's lunch and fresh salad makings are a must. Other than that I'm going to try and shop the pantry because I've got a ton of backlog!😮
God bless you and your family. Have wonderful holidays. ❤
