I love the concept of this book, but like you I wouldn’t be too thrilled at over-reliance on canned goods. I have finally gotten out of the habit of buying and using cans on a regular basis, which really helps with reducing our BPA and sodium intake.

Were most of the canned goods things you could replicate yourself using other methods or were the cans things like Campell’s Soup? I tend to roast and freeze tomatoes now instead of buying them in cans. I get frozen corn instead of canned. I buy artichokes in glass, not in cans. I buy dried beans instead of canned beans.

@LauraC, I have to tell you that I was embarrassed to mention my “buy two pizzas every time I go to Zachary’s habit” but I’m relieved you approve.

I definitely want to hear more about how this goes! I’m with you though, and am trying to avoid using canned foods because of the BPA. I don’t know if I could resist a good list and meal plan though…

I can not tell you how jealous I am that your stock has Zachary’s in it. Living in NC is the right place for me and my family but one of the top things I miss from living in SF is Zachary’s!

I love this idea! I have actually done this myself, with family favorites, and I still end up with extra stuff that I usually have to throw out because it went bad. Still not sure how that happens. lol. Next month, I think I’m going to get back onto my meal plans, and see how much I can spend. Any tips you learn would be greatly appreciated! Good luck with your experiment!
