Amanda is one month into her 6-month challenge of avoiding grocery stores by living off her pantry, garden, and fruit trees to save money. She’s had simple meals like eggs, pancakes, and hot dogs, and just ran out of chai tea and vanilla. She’s embracing tea alternatives, bartering with friends, and enjoying garden harvests like strawberries, cherries, kale, and hascaps. She’s focusing on frugal homemaking, baking, and community-sharing.
