I have decided to do a weekly food storage challenge! I have been a little off of my game with my food storage lately but here is what I scored last week! Most of you know, I have a slight obsession with coupons. Last week my local grocery store had a sale on reach dental floss for $1.00 each. I had coupons for 3 for $3.00, $.50 off 1, and 1 for $1.00. I had a total of 26 coupons varying in all discounts. The store was all out of the dental floss so I decided to get a rain check. I have never used rain checks before but ended up getting 26 dental flosses for $3.50 after tax! Needless to say, Scott and I will not be needing dental floss for a very long time!
Anyway that is my very long plug for coupons! You can do so much!!!
Challenge:
Sit down this week. Start making your inventory of what you and your family eat on a regular basis. Include things like special sauces or condiments. On my list we keep Sweet Chili Sauce, and those asian packets that are such a family hit! We love them!! I am trying to attach my list to this post, but if it doesn't work and you are interested, let me know. Customize it to your families interest and start plugging away! It is so satisfying!! I sleep better that is for sure!
Try each week you grocery shop, or bi-weekly pending on your schedule and pick up an extra 4-5 of these items or pending on how many you have calculated that you will need for the year. If you start slowly, it is always better to buy in bulk!!!
