NO SPEND Pantry Challenge 2023 Week #1

Once again it's cold outside and I want to stay home! It's PANTRY CHALLENGE TIME AGAIN! My goal is to feed myself and my husband by just using food from our PANTRY and FREEZER for the entire month of JANUARY or maybe longer! I plan on spending NO MONEY for the month. Other goals in the challenge are to use up older (or less popular) canning and pantry food items that are at or near their best before dates or have just hung around for too long. It's my second NO SPEND PANTRY CHALLENGE and I hope that I learned some things last year so that I can better USE WHAT I HAVE, SHOP FROM MY PANTRY and stay out of the cold! Hopefully I'll end up with some MORE creative recipes this year!

In this first video I'll review what I loaded up into the Challenge Pantry and show you some recipes from the last couple of weeks (before and after Christmas vacation.) I haven't bought groceries since my last grocery haul in December!! We had a wonderful family Christmas away and now I'm ready to get right into staying warm by the fire and eating interesting meal ideas! I can't wait to have you join in and share your favourite recipes for me to try!
