This month is use up the food in the house month. Not a super exciting experiment but it has been a good one. My one exception is the fruit stand. I have been going once a week and buying our produce for the week and I've continued doing that this month. We have typically been spending $20 a week there. And sometime I hit the jackpot and they have a $3 box. My favorite. :)
(One of the boys ate part of the apple before I could get a picture so that's why there's a half eaten apple in the box!)
I love the challenge of trying to make something out of what's in the box. And whatever isn't used goes to the chickens so I definitely feel like it's worth the $3 for us.
I have also bought milk a few times. We are doing just fine without going to the store. And I hope to continue this to some degree after the month is over. Buying produce from the fruit stand and we buy our meat at Stewarts, I really don't need that much from the store. Or I should say I shouldn't need that much from the store, but the grocery store is some kind of trap because you always come out with more than you needed! I've been wanting to switch over to ordering from Azure Standard for awhile now and I guess that is kind of my end goal but haven't been quite ready to take that step yet.

I loooove the new farm stand in town! Their prices are great and their produce is delicious! The blueberries this week are so good...taste like candy! I've never heard of Stewarts. Thanks for the tip!
I think you should share what you have been eating for meals with what you had in your kitchen plus the produce. anything interesting??
