My girlfriend recently left on a 10 day trip out of state and I made a comment before she left that the pantry was so full of things that we seldom use but are things that keep for a long time. I also said that I could easily go the entire 10 days of her trip without going to the grocery store. So we agreed to a few ground rules.
No:
- stockup or pre shop. As is where is at the time of the agreement
- Fast food
- Dining out
- Soliciting for food from housemates or neighbors
- Gas station groceries (like coles express etc)
- No other food source thats technically not a grocery store such as delivered food (not dineout and not necessarily fast food)
Well, now its day 9.
So far these items are out of stock:
Milk Eggs Cheese Butter Rice Cereals Honey
Despite exhausting my stash these foods I'm still on track to get through no worries. Its been an interesting experience and its taught me a lot.
Does anyone else do this sort of thing from time to time? Could you see yourself trying it out?
