Okay already Feb 5 and I didn't see this post so here goes.
This is th Challenge Dd and I have given ourselves. So far it is 3 weeks and we are doing really good!
I KNOW that over the years, months, and days of posting here I have had an on going theme of eating down and I said 2018 would be the YEAR!
Dd and I sat down and had a good talk about why it keeps piling up and came to some conclusions.
Also, 2018 seems like it is going to be my year for conclusions....lol
To give us credit I have lost some weight( and am eating healthier due it health issues) and she has lost a large amount and has bad gastric issues (special diet now)
so we eat way differently and way less. BUT, we are still shopping like we did before.
And, we are great bargain shoppers very good at the deals.
So we have challenged ourselves to only buy a few fresh salads, eggs, and milk till March 31. What is left in the big freezer that doesn't fit in the 2 smaller ones is going
to be donated or gasp tossed. I know that is radical but, (if it languishing in there it is garbage) I would like to get down to just having the 2 fridges in the house,
right now we each have our own fridge and share a large freezer.
The one fridge needs to be replaced and I will replace it with a larger one later.
I actually made a loaf of bread this week and it was good. Because of course I had all the ingredients in the house.
We don't even need a lot of fruit and veggies because I put lots down in the fall. Lots of meat!
The idea is that having a consequence seems to be making us look at what we have and make meals with that instead of buying more.
And, surprise, surprise there was more money in the bank at the end of Jan.
1. Eating down
2. More decluttering and giving away this week.
