Little chat

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know what's going on, or more so what will be going on. Monday I am having spine surgery. I will be in the hospital for one or two nights. Then my recovery period is approximately 3 months. I'll be out of work for 6 weeks. I am not expecting to be able to do much of anything next week. I'm working on my menu today. My goal is to make it as easy as possible for Mike since he'll have to help me alot. 

I took an inventory of both of my freezers this morning. 

I'm doing a no spend/low buy January. This should be pretty easy since I'll be recovering and I have gift cards that I can use if I REALLY want something lol. 

I'm setting my grocery budget for the month at $270 but am also doing a pantry challenge and my plan is to only purchase dairy and fresh produce (and "loss leaders" for my food storage).
