I am doing the challenge too. I did an inventory and made a menu list based on what we have (I am still working on my list) and have set my rules as….. use what we have, I can only go to the store for produce-fruit- dairy and bread (possibly our drinks, which would be coffee, orange juice or Pepsi) and a weekly budget of $25.00. I’m super excited about it. Good luck with your challenge.
I love Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt Bee, Floyd, Thelma Lou, Gomer, Helen, Goober & Otis! I think every elementary school should have the kids watch an Andy Griffith show every week because the lessons are so beautiful in them. ❤ 🖤 💙 💛
I wish I had a pantry again then I think how much I gave away before I left for England It brings me back to earth 😊 I don't want stuff if I'm traveling this year so I will enjoy the month through the meals of you girls.
New friend here. I love pantry tours, and all your jars are inspiring me to do the same with stuff I have in bags/boxes. I'm doing the pantry challenge too, and will be trying to not go into a store for at least the first two weeks for anything - hopefully the entire month of January. I just discovered those little veggie nests at Trader Joes in November - those things are amazing!
I just found your channel 😊. I'm also doing the pantry challenge! Like you, I will need some dairy and salad greens. I am keeping myself to a $20 budget for those items.
You have lots of food to pick from! I’m trying it too - I want to clean out my freezer and cupboards. I’ll still have to buy dairy, eggs, and produce, but hopefully not much else.
So, if you had to quarantine yourself or shtf and you can’t shop, how would you manage without dairy, sandwich bread, produce and David’s breakfast items? You got me thinking about that. I do have powdered milk that I vacuum sealed in Mason jars. I have shelf stable butter and butter powder. I also have powdered eggs and whole eggs (no shell) that I vacuum sealed and froze. I have powdered sour cream, heavy whipping cream and cheese powder. It would be inconvenient to rely on these foods, but if we had to, we could. Thank you for showing us your stash. This is my first time viewing your channel. I’m subscribing. You’re sweet & seem genuine ❤ Good luck with the challenge 👩🌾
Oh my gosh! I need to go thru my canned goods cupboard and organize it and get rid of stuff that I will never use. I have a habit of buying new cans of stuff instead of looking to see what I have in my cupboard. We also need to eat out of the freezer.....OY....Thanks for the inspiration!
My biggest problem is food insecurities which I never talk about. I feel safe with extra food. But we need to use it and then I can rotate in new stuff. Start digging through that food and see what all kinds of goodies you find!
Happy new year Kim! I will be forced to do this challenge as I recover from my surgeries. I had to buy a new freezer last week! I put it in the garage so I won’t have to go down stairs anymore for frozen food. Thank God for grocery delivery if I need it. ❤ Mmmm, that shrimp looks good! ❤
I will be doing this challenge along with all of you. I buy way too much food for just the two of us. My freezers and cupboards are overflowing. I will still need to get some dairy like milk and creamer.
Girl I will get my creamer every week!! It's just us two as well but I just feel better having a stock of food. We can have a good month and use up our stores.
a great video and a great idea for starting off the new year with new goals and challenges but in order to do that we must continue to make a goal of putting God in our lives first before anything yes we can do anything I can do all things thru christ who strengthens me thanks kimmie keep up the great work a shout out to u and all the rest of the collabers happy new year to everyone hello to u and all the family In God we trust God blesses us all!!!!!
I'm a single person. I've trying to eat through my freezer and pantry since October. I only allow myself to buy milk, yogurt, cheese and fruit. Occasionally I will buy salad stuff, but I have tons of frozen vegetables, so forcing myself to eat more of that.
Thank you! I love stocking up on sales. I haven't had to do any big sales shopping recently because we have all we need of those things. Well with the exception of the BOGO Hamburger Helper.
Aren’t we lucky to have this much food to pull from. This will be my 3rd year doing this pantry challenge. I only buy dairy and fresh produce which last year I spent about $60 for the month. I get lazy also about wanting to cook so I look for the leftovers that I have frozen. Two old people don’t eat much so even half a recipe produces leftovers. The hardest part for me is menu planning, trying to choose something that doesn’t make too many leftovers. Also no eating out takes getting used to. Good luck; I know we can do this.

Boy if I hadn't already stocked up on coffee that would surely be a rule!! Good luck with yours!
I’m doing the #Threeriverschallenge as well! Super excited and good luck! Can’t wait to see what we come up with for recipes; new subscriber🙂❤
Hello and welcome! Good luck to you too. I know we'll come up with delicious meals!
I love Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt Bee, Floyd, Thelma Lou, Gomer, Helen, Goober & Otis!

It's a great show!

You'll enjoy your travels and forget all about that pantry! Enjoy your year!
@AGirlandHerPhone thank you

Welcome! I like seeing food in jars, plus it keeps stuff fresh longer I think.
And oh yea those veh nests are great.
I'm in!! I don't think I can limit myself to 25$/WK on groceries like Joan does. But I know I can cook all the stuff I've got! And save some money!!
Exactly! We can dwindle down our stash. I know David is looking forward to saving money.
You are very organized. I love your Andy Griffith magnets
They're a nice memory of that local station too.
I just found your channel 😊. I'm also doing the pantry challenge! Like you, I will need some dairy and salad greens. I am keeping myself to a $20 budget for those items.
I didn't put a dollar amount because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to stay within it. Good luck!
Happy New Year Kim!!! You're going to do great!!!! I'm going to do this myself with only purchasing fresh dairy too!
Happy New Year! You'll do great!
You have lots of food to pick from! I’m trying it too - I want to clean out my freezer and cupboards. I’ll still have to buy dairy, eggs, and produce, but hopefully not much else.
That's great you're doing it too. Good luck!
You are definitely well stocked girl! I’d love another tour after the month to see how much used up.
We're going to do that I believe.
You have your foods so organized! It looks like you have enough for a good start!
I think I do. As long as I don't find new recipes that use ingredients I don't have.
You definitely got this!
Thanks!
What a nice variety your all set❤❤❤
I'm looking forward to using it up.
So, if you had to quarantine yourself or shtf and you can’t shop, how would you manage without dairy, sandwich bread, produce and David’s breakfast items?

Good luck with the challenge 👩🌾
I would just have to do without. I don't have any of those type foods. I honestly never heard of most of it. I'm glad you're here!!

Good you'll have it upstairs. What did we do before grocery delivery??

Happy New Year Kim!!!
Happy New Year!
Goodness, you are covering those pretty canning jars. Just wipe dust off like canned food. 😁
I didn't even notice the dust to be honest.
Happy New Year, Kim. Everything looks so organized!
Happy new year!!
HAPPY 2025 KIM & DAVID!
I WILL TRY TO USE A LOT
OF THE ITEMS I HAVE IN
MY PANTRY & FREEZER.
I WILL BUY ITEMS TO
USE WITH MEALS AS NEEDED.
Happy New Year! Good to hear you're doing it with us

Happy new year
Your doing great
Thanks! You too!

Ugh forcing myself to eat vegetables is like forcing a toddler 🤣
Let’s do this! Here we go!
💫♥️💫
Yes!!
You will definitely save money this month eating from the food you already have!
That's a huge bonus!
Wow, we could all live off your pantry 😮.
Girl you come on down!
Wow, you have a great pantry! I am not sure we could go a week on what is in my pantry!
Thank you! I love stocking up on sales. I haven't had to do any big sales shopping recently because we have all we need of those things. Well with the exception of the BOGO Hamburger Helper.
Happy New Year Kim!!!!!!

I didn't know you did the challenge. That's awesome! I hope I don't have to spend too much. We can do this!
Happy New Year!!!
Happy new year!!
Happy new Year
Happy new year!
You can do it.
Thanks, I like to think so.
You are stocked with alot of food,in both pantry and freezers,Should be easy
I'm hoping so!
How do you store your sandwich bread to make it last so long?
I just keep it in the bag and close it with a snapping clip and store it on one of my pull out shelves in my "pantry".
