My mantra since Tuesday: "I'm grocery shopping on Friday. I'm grocery shopping on Friday."
We've finished up the cereal and the bread, so I needed to bake chocolate chip muffins for today's breakfast. I'm conserving the last 1/2 gallon of milk and made hot chocolate to go with the muffins. One of my sleepyheads grumbled something about putting the fireplace on "this is a winter meal." :P
For dinner I made barbecue chicken in the oven (last I'm turning it on for several days) and did a chicken stir-fry for DH. I also made brown rice which some of my children like plain with garlic salt. I also made meat loaf muffins for tonight's dinner and will make baked potatoes in the microwave.
I highly doubt that we will starve today, and I usually cave and go to the store BEFORE my goal, but I've managed this time to do it. And I have a bag of pretzel and plenty of veggies and ranch dressing for snacks.
If you've gotten this far through my food-post, how do you suggest going about building up a stockpile? I'm realizing the I should definitely work on that, but am not sure *how to*. I should add that I am trying to set aside a certain amount per month to build up such stockpile, but its been rather lean here with the finances.

We really should have waited to get to the store, too. But we ventured out for a few necessities, but then caved and bought ice cream and chips (non necessities). Ugh! With DH and girls home all day everyday the food goes so much faster.
Great job making it to your planned grocery day!

I only stockpile stuff on sale. So it's easy to run out of all the other (good) stuff.
