Use It Up ~ Pantry

This is the time of year when my income is lower than any other time of the year, so it is a good time to use up what is in my pantry to make meals and snacks. I didn't have any cheese, but did have a can of cheddar cheese soup and a smidgen of Velveeta cheese that was leftover and used those things to make rice and cheese for lunch today. I served it with a side of broccoli. It was a big hit! 

Jello Cups & Sweet Tea

While I was in the pantry I noticed three tiny cans of apricots that were not being eaten and I always have Jello on hand, so I made up eight cups of jello fruit cups to have this week as well. I also made three gallons of iced tea to have throughout the week. We have been drinking a lot more than usual since it has been unseasonably hot here already. We've been going through one to two gallons a day, so hopefully this will last a couple of days anyway. 

Backwoods Home Frugal Forum

I don't know if you are familiar with Backwoods Home Magazine or not, but they have a frugal living message board if you are interested in reading one. It's not very active and I only check in once every 6 months or so, but I enjoy reading there and it reminds me of the Saving Money Old Style forums

Here is a link if you are interested in reading this forum.

I'm off to the doctor's office this afternoon, so I will check back in later today or tomorrow. I hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon.

  1. I've just begun making iced tea for the warm weather season. Not as hot, here, but I do drink a lot of iced tea beginning late May, through early September.

    That sounds like a great use for the cheddar soup! Way to get creative!
    Have a great Day, and I look forward to more updates from you, now that school is out!
