Week 8 update of using up all the food we have in our house until it is gone so that we can try once a month grocery shopping I am a family of 5 finishing up week 8 starting week 9 of using up all the food we have in our house until it is gone before we start once a month grocery shopping If you are new here and you want to see how we started this I will pin my first video of starting this to the top of my page Personally, I don't see much difference between this week and last week. This week has been kind of rough. We have a virus moving through our family. And I had to do a little bit of shopping for that plus I knew I was gonna make home made pizza this past week and I bought some bagel bites and pizza rolls as backup in case my kids didn't accept it. So this month we actually ended up spending closer to $150 versus the $100 that we spent last month. I do think that whatever virus we have going on is starting to hit me. So I'm hopeful for week 9 and I'm also not letting myself be too hard on myself if week 9 is another hard week. The only big plans that I have for week 9 are finally getting to some of the chicken livers that I've had in my freezer forever. My husband has had some B12 issues and I bought a bunch when I found out and then I never fixed them because I'm a little freaked out but it's time to grow up and be a big girl.
