This $20/$20 Challenge is a great one with an awesome story. While Ashley typically tries to feed her family a whole foods diet, a family emergency rocked her world and her pantry. Goes to show that a stocked pantry, whole foods or otherwise, can really make a difference in times of crisis! Here’s her story:
Mavis, my name is Ashley. My husband and I are wannabe homesteaders, raising and homeschooling our 5 kiddos in Western New York. I’ve read your blog for the last few years, and am so appreciative for all the hard work you put into sharing tips, information, and great deals with us! Now onto our pantry…
The previous owner of our house was a Kodak engineer, and built these nifty pull-out pantry shelves, which I love! I hope to paint them to give them an updated look someday. You wouldn’t guess it from looking at my pantry right now (more on that later), but we do eat mostly whole foods. I cook a lot from scratch both for budget and health reasons.

When I’m able to find extra pockets of time, I blog over at GrowPrayBuild about anything from gardening to frugal living!
