Our January Challenge: No Grocery Shopping

Trying something new this January. No grocery shopping.

John mentioned this, which I had been meaning to propose to him. I had seen the #threeriverschallenge (on Instagram) and thought it would be fun to try!
Your rules can be whatever you want - grocery shop 1x instead of 3xweek. Only bananas and coffee. Cut your budget in half. Shop your cupboards first. Whatever works for you!
For us this is going to look like no grocery shopping at the store. I’ll still be heading to Nature's Pantry Farm for raw milk and cream. I'll post some updates on IG/Facebook, mostly in our stories.
We have meats, preserved produce and grains stocked in the pantry. Have a small stockpile of chocolate and coffee 😎.
The goal is to save money on groceries, use the bounty we have put up all year rotate through some of our pantry stores, and use up some items we use less often.
Today’s lunch/dinner is spicy sausage-kale soup (think Zuppa toscana), with potatoes, onions and garlic from the pantry, kale from the freezer and our homegrown pork sausage. This is one of my fav recipes for our sausage.
What do you think about this idea?
