Week 1 - Update

The last pantry dinner for the week has been eaten and eggs on toast or leftovers is on the menu for Saturday night. So after a very successful week of eating from the pantry I am please to say I have not spent any additional money on food, well expect the bottle of Sprit due to having the flu, and it was soooo worth it.

My notes this week.

Saturdays Fridge - 1 week after #pantrybeforepurchase

• I am becoming more AWARE, our food, what the kids are eating, waste, the environment, spending….in just 1 week.

• Our bins have been empty once on Wednesday and most likely again on Sunday a much better outcome then daily.

• The boys haven’t pestered me for snacks or treats all week.

• My fridge is nearly empty with only a few leftovers and salad items.

• The freezer is full

• I have been less stressed thinking about food and having to get to the shops

• We have only wasted unfinished meals and I am wondering why I bother putting food out for my 3 year old at all.

It has definitely been a win this week, with less food waste, less rubbish and it only took for me to plan and be organised.
