Cheap Living=Pantry Living

Wow....it's been a long time....but here I am. Having decided to go back to school, money has become extinct. Money extinction is a popular theme these days. So what are we to do....Pantry Living is where it's at. Most people can survive on the items in their pantry for at least a few weeks whether they know it or not. That is what we are currently doing.
We did a big grocery shop yesterday to replenish some of the things that were depleted in the good old pantry.

• Flour (whole wheat and white) apparently necessary to make bread...who knew!
• Produce and some other "necessities"It's amazing how quickly it adds up. But I figure, the only thing that we will purchase are fruits and veggies, and live off the pantry.

Some of the item in the pantry include:

• A nice assortment of dried legumes ( chickpeas, romano beans, great northern, butter beans, lentils, black eyed peas)

• Rice (basmati, long grain white, brown, sushi)

• A ton of canned tomatoes ( Momma G grows and cans them every fall)

• Spices galore

• Quinoa

• Pasta/Noodles in all shapes and sizes ( I smell a lot of casseroles)

• TVP

• Dried Bean Curd

• Dried Fruit

• Nuts

• Panko

• Oats

...and some more random items

The goal here is to spend as little as possible, and only buy produce (preferably local), and necessities.

So here we go....let's kick of the "Pantry Living" season.....coming later day 1!!
