How Long Can We Go Without Shopping | Preserving the Harvest
#nospendchallenge No spending from July 24th until August 15th. Refrigerator/ Freezer Tour-- How Long Can We Go Without Shopping (will we make it to August 15th?) In this video-- a refrigerator/freezer tour to see what we have on hand. I mentioned we have 6# of ground beef, breakfast sausage for 3 meals, brats for 3 meals, and two packs of chicken tenders. We have 3 loaves of bread, a pound of butter, 21 eggs, a pie crust, cheese, lunchmeat, cheesecake, 1/2 bag of fries, 1# of carrots, 3# potatoes, 1/2 gallon milk, 1 gallon of juice, 4 containers of yogurt, 3 boxes of rices, 2 boxes of boil in bag rice, a bag of basmati rice, 1 box of stuffing, 1 box of soup, 3 cans of soup, and a lot of frozen fruit. We can do it! I will then defrost the freezer and start buying local produce and preserving it for two people for winter 2024-25. Next up is more green beans. Our big shop will be August 15th and I'll be replenishing the refrigerator and freezer with our regular stock of groceries and household goods. With any money that I save, I will be buying a foodsaver to help me preserve meat and veg in the freezer and eliminate freezer bags altogether. I've been doing things this way in our household for almost 30 years and it works for us. Now that I am beginning to think about life as a senior (senior life management), it's time to perfect it so that all of our needs are met as I look to retirement in five years /as we grow older and life/living get a bit more challenging. Thanks for stopping!
