Bear here...
A quick blog... We have decided to stay away from grocery stores for as long as possible. Challenging yes?
Here is the why and what's up...
A quick blog... We have decided to stay away from grocery stores for as long as possible. Challenging yes?
Here is the why and what's up...
We seem to be going to the store a lot, often every week. Usually we spend $100 - $250 per trip. It doesn't matter if we buy in bulk or have a list, we usually buy "extras". Those extras are snacks, junk food we don't need, or things we could make ourselves (like bread). The extras can add up quickly at the register and don't help us lose weight. That sucks since we're trying to get our butts down to 16 inches so they will fit in a plane seat and we're trying to save money for a trip to Scotland.
Theresa sprung this challenge on me as we were driving home from our last trip to the grocery store. So I didn't get to plan well (... er..at all!). So she's letting me have one more "last trip" this week. Gotta get the basics, so far my list is peanut butter and beer. (Bear has simple needs...).
Theresa says the pantry's pretty full, but maybe she'll buy milk and cream and we'll branch out into storing frozen dairy products, which is one of the main things that sends us to the store in the first place, since we can't raise a cow in our tiny yard.
Then we'll not go to any grocery store until we can't stand it anymore.
Oh, and when will we run out of toilet paper? Theresa notes that there's an e-book she's been reading about reusable cloth that is part of the e-bundle we're participating in. It's for sale for a week only starting Monday. Click to see more about the bundle and our contribution, Eat Your Wild Yard.
We are hoping to provide frequent blogs about our Avoid the Grocery Store Challenge to let you know how it's going.
