Menu Plan - Pantry Challenge Week 9

Yes, we have passed the two month mark of eating from our stockpile.  It is starting to seem like maybe we had a ridiculous amount of food stored up... 

Then again, all of the groceries were bought at a discounted price with coupons and/or on special.  The money that we have saved in buying groceries at rock bottom prices and by not having to buy groceries for a while, has a very specific purpose - getting out of debt as fast as possible. 

One of the points we always try to drive home in our couponing and frugal living classes is that if you don't tell your money where to go, it will tell you where it went.  We are choosing to tell our money where to go.

We had a couponing class this past weekend and as always, it was great fun.  I love the look on people's faces when they realize it is not some sort of magic but a real possibility that you can drastically lower your grocery bill by using coupons.

This past week started off the season of Lent.  It seems very appropriate to be eating from our pantry and freezer during this time. 

On the opposite end of the spectrum we are going to an Oscar party tonight. 

Oh, and don't forget to enter the giveaway for a copy of both the DVD & book of "Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life."

Sunday - Beans, Greens, and Corny Dog Muffins
