July Pantry Challenge

First week check in.  I am doing this challenge  for a two-fold reason. One to on our grocery budget. Who doesn’t like saving money and two to rotate our stockpile.  With the older kids coming and going to camps and travel we have a well stocked pantry and freezer. Time to clean it out.
