Summer Series 2026: Building a Pantry with $5 a week ... #12

Here we are at our final week of our $5 a week Pantry Building Challenge!  

This challenge has helped me to take note and focus on getting the most from my $5 as well as look closely at what needed replenishing in my pantry.  This was a no frills challenge for me and helped me restock several of our basics.

I hope it has been helpful to you as well.

Okay, what about this final week, what did I add to my pantry for $5 or less ...

I did a repeat of the organic carrots for a total of $3.98.  I was delighted to see that they were still on sale so I grabbed up 2 more bags and like before, I plan to turn them into fermented carrots.  (Each bag was $1.99 each)

And now, let's take a look at what I added to my pantry throughout this challenge utilizing just $5 a week ...

Small amounts add up!

Small amounts spent wisely can make a difference!

Small amounts is a great place to start when building up your pantry!

Okay, now it's your turn ... what did you spend your $5 on this week and if it's a food, how do you plan on using it?

Next Monday, we'll meet back here for the details on our next pantry challenge, this time it'll just be for the month of October!

Until the next time ...
