Family Balance Sheet

FEBRUARY 1, 2013

In an effort to find some extra money to fund our Christmas Savings Account , I'm doing a pantry challenge in February. My goal is to plan February's menu around what is currently in my pantry and freezer and fill in any needs at the store, but reduce my overall monthly grocery expenses. Thanks for reading.

I was able to transfer the $100 to our savings account in July, but I''m still short from June when I needed to use some of the savings for other gifts that we needed to buy last month. Plan your menu around what is in your pantry or freezer and limit your spending at the grocery store to just the necessities.

I''m happy to report that I was able to reduce our grocery spending in August by about $50 and I''ll put that money in our Christmas savings. My goal during the pantry challenge was to shop our freezer and pantry to put together my weekly menus instead of only using the Sunday sales flyers. Thanks for reading.

The bad news is that I needed to plan our monthly meals from food that was already in our pantry and freezer to help me fund my January shortfall and hit my February savings goal. I'm closing the account and moving that money to my Christmas Savings account. Also let us know how you saved the money.
