Grocery Store Challenge Update

First week we didn't buy anything.
Second week we bought coconut milk, onions, red lentils, oats, milk, and vegetable oil.
Third week we went to a bigger natural food store in Milwaukee (not Trader Joe's) that almost falls under the 'grocery store' description, but it's locally owned and not a chain, so I decided that it was okay. We bought cheese, salsa bread (mmmm), chocolate, green peppers and frozen broccoli.

Stuff we have in excess: spaghetti, tomato soup, quinoa, rice mixes, eggs, chicken, potatoes, and flour. Also we have finally used up almost all of the frozen produce we had leftover from last year's farm share. All we have left is a ton of garlic.

Things I have improvised on: homemade potato chips, homemade tortillas, used tomato soup and pureed veggies for spaghetti sauce, ate refried beans on bread since we ran out of PB (that was kind of gross), made chocolate cupcake cookie things (madeleines?).

I think it's going okay. I think Brent doesn't like that there are no super easy microwave meals, but he'll only have to suffer for 12 more days. Of course, Taco Bell isn’t a grocery store…...
