January Pantry Challenge Wrap Up

It was a good month for the pantry challenge. 

I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to.

I have a good handle on what I need, what we use most

and what we are out of. 

I planned to continue into February 

but not as strict as I was in January.

I need to restock some things.

My true test was getting ready for the beach trip.

I normally menu plan for our time there and

I had no problem making a grocery list to supplement what I had.

This time I didn't want to shop.

I wanted to stick to the challenge.

I did really good except I forgot to take potatoes.

So Ernie "had" to go to the store.

His favorite is Jack's Country Store

and always finds a reason to go there.

 And Momma wanted Cinnamon Bears!

The real reason for the beach trip was it was open for clamming.

I didn't go.

I don't like the cold rain and digging in the dark.

So a few more clams have been stocked in the freezer.

I will use any excuse to go to the beach. 😀
