Pantry Challenge & Pantry Tour 2026 | $150/Month Grocery Budget

Join us for a full pantry tour as we gear up for the 2026 three rivers challenge (#threeriverschallenge)!

We’re a debt-free, one-income family using a realistic pantry challenge to keep our grocery budget under $150/month.

We’re participating in Jessica from Three Rivers Homestead’s popular pantry challenge for January and February – but with a realistic twist that works for a busy, one-income, frugal family.

In this video:

• A complete walk-through of our working pantry: what’s stocked, how full it is, and how we organize it

• Our specific pantry challenge rules: cooking most meals from pantry and freezer staples

• Where we stay flexible for real life: weekly trips for fresh milk, bananas, apples, and killer sale items

• Our frugal goal: about $15/week on essentials and deals, keeping us under $150/month (including any stock-ups)

This realistic pantry challenge 2026 helps us save big without feeling deprived – perfect if you love frugal living , budget pantry ideas, and homestead-inspired savings.
