I'm late getting on board but I'm going to participate too. Started this week. I looked though all my cupboards, HUGE deep freezer, spare fridge in the garage, overflow pantry in the garage. I'm ashamed to say that I have 54 meals waiting to be used. I have a stocking up addiction I think ~lol. My goal is to use up all of my stock. In counting, I'll be on this 30 days of nothing for over two months. Until November 7th to be exact. Since its such a long time, I put myself on a $25 perishable restocking budget per week for milk, bread, fruit/veggies, eggs, tp, juice. I just found this blog and your 30 days of nothing.

Our food budget comes from my contribution to the household income and right now we are only working half weeks. So this comes at a great time. I even have time to plan meals now. Thanks for all the tip ideas! I dont have my own blog , but if anyone has tips you can email me redhed944@aol.com This is a great idea.

I love to do this....... since we live in Hurricane Alley and it's peak season, I'm actually using up what we've got in our freezer so that we lessen our risk of losing food if we should happen to get a bad storm. Yes, we have a generator, but it's a good thing to do anyway. I've made our menu for the month based on what we've got at the house - in the freezer, fridge and pantry...and nobody will starve this month. :) What a great challenge!

I think you can totally do it. I'm going to be joining in on the September 30 days of nothing. I didn't do so well trying it in August, but I'm going to try again. We kinda have to this month, everything's going to be very tight in September. I’m with you Mary. I think you can totally do it. I’m going to be joining in on the September 30 days of nothing.
