NO SPEND GROCERY CHALLENGE |HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES |PANTRY CHALLENGE |SHELF COOKING|WEEK 1
#pantrychallenge #nospendgrocerychallenge
With grocery costs increasing so much I decided this was such a great time to do a NO SPEND GROCERY CHALLENGE! Some people call is pantry challenge, freezer challenge, or shelf cooking. I dont care what we call it but my goal is to save money on groceries. Here is what we did for Week 1!
Thank you so much for being a part of this Absolute Mom tribe!

Thanks so much - Now I want to pull a roast out of my freezer for this weeks menu plan!!
I was guilty of that too as a kid 😂 my parents had to enact the “you can’t open a new bag til the old one is gone” rule. (P.s. can confirm your breakfast date is very cute ❤ )

Do you share your actual recipes that you do on the dishes that you come up with in order to use up your items in your pantry / freezer challenge? I’m sure that many of your viewers would like to see recipes for what you have cooked up for your pantry challenge. Btw that is such a unique cooking tool that you have for an egg timer I would definitely buy one if I knew where to purchase one at! I’ve been cooking for over 42 years and have never seen an egg timer like that ! Blessings!💕
I’m doing a pantry challenge at home too and same, when I was gone for work they picked up pizza. Lolol

It is a fun challenge to do! How is it going? So obviously turkey sandwiches but then a few ideas are turkey orzo soup, turkey gravy over mashed potatoes, a shepherd pie inspired turkey dish, turkey Alfredo pasta. Hope that helps!
I found the egg timers on Amazon. 9.99 for 3

So glad you found them….great price! Thanks for watching.
I found that buying less chips and putting them in a see thru container helped with the waste. My rule was eat it up and we can get more the next week.

I have definitely said no to chips at the store more frequently lately! Thanks for watching
I was in the store, when a lady by me started laughing as I was shaking the boxes of taco shells. She shared that she does that too, to help determine if any are broken...lol. I frequently make EXTRA pancakes as they make a great fast & easy snack! We share similar content 😊

I feel like they have just learned how to package them better so you still dont know if they are broken! I will need to check yours out! Thanks for watching
She is cute
So it's not a no spend??
Do you guys ever eat vegetables? And like in the entire week I see one serving of fruit. Tragic.

We do but we definitely limited shopping due to the challenge we were doing. Also my kids eat veggies for snacks way better than with a meal so we sneak them in that way! Also during the summer when our garden is crazy the kids eat tomatoes, green beans, carrots, salads, etc like crazy! Thanks for watching

@@TheAbsoluteMom that was such a classy response to a very rude, judgmental, & unnecessary comment. Way to take the high road 👏 good for you dear ❤
