I was actually thinking about doing a lot more smoothies during the month so we could still get our fruits and veggies in by way of freezer instead. Wow, 45 minutes! I thought 25 minutes was bad. =)Melissa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413800991309445225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277593688370578098.post-39628924627346823802012-03-30T07:31:02.025-07:002012-03-30T07:31:02.025-07:00Good luck with the challenge, when we lived 45 min...Good luck with the challenge, when we lived 45 minutes from the nearest grocery store we took coolers and ate a lot of frozen fruits and vegetables. We would do 1 shopping trip a month because it was just to much hassle to go more often. Those 11 months I learned a lot about my shopping habits and it helped to break them. I doubt I'll ever rent a place that far out ever again, unless they would allow us to have a large garden.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667184175635398479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277593688370578098.post-64135127471918709392012-03-30T06:45:28.270-07:002012-03-30T06:45:28.270-07:00Amy, I failed to mention in the post that we live ...Amy, I failed to mention in the post that we live 20+ miles from shopping (one way), and not buying any gas is part of our 30 day challenge. Also, my kids helped to make the rules and they only wanted food on the list of things we are allowed to buy. Even with the food, we are making strict menus to shop with and will only be going to the store 2 times. We would only go once, but we eat lots of fruits and veggies. I do have to say that the reason the kids didn't want the "necessities" on there is because it would cause too much temptation to purchase other unnecessary items. =)Melissa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413800991309445225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277593688370578098.post-14970740305186505002012-03-29T20:44:12.116-07:002012-03-29T20:44:12.116-07:00Interesting, but how is buying things before hand ...Interesting, but how is buying things before hand in preparation for a no shopping month any better than going out in the month to purchase those same items?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667184175635398479noreply@blogger.com
