My answer:
I'm also feeling a renewed inspiration (as I did before I did the minimalist food challenge) to better utilize the food we have, and not store (hoard) food for significant lengths of time. Jaymz and I spent some time this past weekend cleaning out, reorganizing, and cataloging our freezers so that we can use the food—and the space—more efficiently. I have to admit that I was really dreading the task, but I ended up feeling really good after all was said and done.
The next task on my list is to tackle our pantry and spice cabinets to clear out anything that's expired as well as to get an idea for what meals we need to make soon to use up older items. The great thing about eating food we already have is that it has only positive impact on that week's food budget, which gives me even more incentive to do some Spring (food) cleaning!
Earlier on in this challenge I wrote about some of my food shopping strategies, including methods I use to keep our budget in check while still buying foods that make our bodies feel the best they can. Check it out for some tips on saving money, and please share your ideas with me—I always enjoy learning new things.
We hope you'll join us by blogging or journaling about the writing prompt each week. We'll introduce the prompt each Thursday and host a link-up for the answers the following week.
