Challenge Stores

Today, I took inventory of my challenge stores.  I have two small freezers full of food I have either grown in my garden or received via the local food distribution channels.  The two turkeys and fresh sweet potatoes were purchased with a gift card I received from work over the holidays.  Listed below are the preserved food, the food leftover from the previous challenge and a list of purchases I've made to begin the challenge along with my 5 pounds free supplies.  I've decided to use up what little I have in the refrigerator from pre-challenge and I am taking 1 pound of my free food to use various items such as a few slices of bread, 4 slices of turkey, and a few slices of cheese.  I know I will probably spend more than I have listed here.  However, if I don't spend any more money than I already have, I will be eating for 18 cents per day.  My goal is to eat for less than 50 cents per day.  Here is my beginning challenge list:
