Pantry/Freezer/Fridge Items for December 2013.

As of 12/5/13, I need to be even more strict with feeding my family from the pantry. I spent 500 dollars on Christmas presents for my three kids. We will be working with items we have available, freezing all left overs. It's sometimes a challenge, but it's so worth it. 

12/9/2013 The starred items are open.

12/11/2013 A lot of these items are partially used, and I am working on getting them into the menu. I have a growing grocery list that includes a lot of HBA items that we are almost out of. My monthly costs do include ALL household needs, from groceries, HBA, cleaning items, laundry soap, and toiletries

12/12/13 I included everything I bought today on my lists. I spent 21.43 at CVS, and 104.91 at Aldi. I have a total of 300 dollars for the month. I'm hoping to only have to buy milk. 

12/17/2013 I worked hard at getting the left overs used, and using the hidden surprises. All I have left for surprises are a few containers of turkey stock that will be put towards a soup after Christmas or put into January's menu. My overtime I was scheduled to work was put as a "on call" status. I stayed home at the on call rate of pay and wasn't called in at all. I slept eleven out of twelve hours of my on call shift.
