Life in Southeast Alaska

Pantry Challenge - Day 2

Day 2 and I haven't visited the store again...  so far so good!  To answer a couple questions about our once a month grocery trip...  We do not buy much meat anymore - the hunting and fishing here are great and our freezer is full.  I also have stocked up on canned goods - some homemade, some commercial - and frozen fruits and veggies.  As far as paper goods, laundry detergent, etc., I usually buy multiples when I get paper towels and toilet paper.  We have been using fewer paper towels and using more kitchen towels for wiping down counters and such.  I make our own soap and laundry detergent and try to find homemade alternatives to other cleaners.
