Yesterday I went shopping and stuck to my own rules with the
addition of buying two items for parties.
I was not sure that I saved money when I first saw the total. Then I reminded myself that this would last
about two weeks. First up what I
purchased.
Half & half (for homemade ice cream but follows the rules)
Buttermilk
Sour cream
Lettuce
Carrots
Bananas
Grape tomatoes
Kiwi
Strawberries
Cheese
Hazelnut spread (party)
Frozen lemonade concentrate (party)
I spent $39.86. The
half and half will make two batches of ice cream. The buttermilk will last a month. It will be used along with the sour cream for
making ranch dressing. The cheese will
make several pizzas and provide some snacks for W. The fruit and lettuce will likely not last
the entire two weeks, but I will stretch it as far as I can.
Now for the homemade crackers – I wanted crackers, and we
did not have any. On the pantry
challenge wanting crackers was not a need so I am not buying any. I knew that there was a recipe on The Prudent Homemaker website. I chose to try the
saltine crackers. I think I need to roll
them a little thinner before baking them, but they are delicious.
These were so quick and easy to make. I would happily make them even after the
pantry challenge is over. I am looking
forward to trying out the wheat cracker recipe next. It is amazing what can be done given the
motivation or desire for something.
