Fall Pantry Challenge

Weeks ago I purchased a lot of food, and we have so much still! My goal for the next several weeks is to only buy things like milk and produce. I have spent a little too much this check because it was my first since 2014, and we needed lots of things! Of course, like I said, I have also been spending it on junk as well! So I’m refocusing!

I took these pics over a week ago so there are a few things that we have used, but overall this is a good picture. I also don’t have pics of the inside of my refrigerators and I’m not home so I can’t take pics of those! I will list as much as possible under the pics that I do have.

Meat

All of the beef is from my friend. It’s grass fed/grass finished. I love buying local food from friends as much as possible because I enjoy supporting them. Also, the food is amazing and quality. The cuts of beef are: ground, ribs, stew meat, roast, soup bones, tenderized cutlets, and probably something else. The meat that we also is a whole chicken, chicken thighs, chicken breast, 2 sausage links, 9 salmon filets, Alaskan pollock, sausage patties, venison summer sausage, chorizo, and turkey and black forest ham lunch meat.

Other Local Foods

I got a lot of butternut squash from my dad and a bit more produce from the farmer’s market on Friday. I also love the eggs from our chickens!
