Well it's the end of the first week and so far we are doing fairly well. However I have had to make 3 trips to the grocery store in the last 7 days due to running out of milk, eggs, etc.! My goal for the next week is to stay out of the stores!
We primarily stayed true to the menu plan, however we did end up getting invited to friends' houses for a couple nights . . . so those meals may shift into February. I'm thinking about continuing this challenge until the freezer is pretty much empty . . . we'll see.
