Self imposed grocery challenge

The challenge is to not go to any chain grocery stores in April.
Locally owned (like ethnic groceries) are allowed.

I'm hoping that I will
- use the stuff in our pantry
- plan meals around what we have
- buy more locally and discover new places to buy food
- really look at what our food needs are
- buy less convenience foods
- try new recipes
- save money

So far I've done well. Today is the first day I really need to shop, and will buy cheese (cheese factory), oats and milk (natural food store). Oh yeah, I bought eggs from a farmer too.

This only really works because our pantry was super overflowing, but it's kind of fun to be creative. I plan to do it again in the summer when we start getting our farm share again.
