Anyone want to do another pantry challenge?

I started late last month so I would like to continue this month. I do need to buy a few items, but for the most part we are still doing good. I do reserve the right to stock up on anything that is a super good deal.

Anyone else?

A pantry challenge is eating only what you have in your house for the month (or however long) and only buying perishables (milk, fruits, and veggies).

Heck, yeah. Now, I did a OAMC thing with friends and have 19 meals left in the freezer, so I'd kinda be cheating. I'll try to squeeze the rest of the dinners, lunches, and breakfasts out of the pantry as much as possible.

What I know I have: more wheat than anyone should be allowed to grind. 15 pounds of blueberries we just picked yesterday. A few pounds of blackberries leftover from our picking frenzy. Beans, beans, beans. Smartdogs, veggie burgers, actual meat dogs and burgers for DH. I think I can pull us through this month cheap after bleeding money in July.

i'm in! i made a list of dinners i have in the house: burrittos, lasagna, veggie chili (in freezer), pancakes and grits/oatmeal, roasted red pepper soup, lentils and rice, BLTs. so...that's not much. but i want to make everything stretch as long as possible. i probably have 2 breakfast dinners and 2 lentil and rice dinners...and leftovers with the burritto stuff and lasagna. and i want to be forced to make some things from scratch with what i already have in the pantry...like tortillas and muffins.

I would love to but my pantry is half empty as it is because dh changed jobs 9 weeks ago and it has been a hit to the wallet. So I am only buying the necessary each week.
