Over the Big Moon: Guest Post

I am posting today at Over the Big Moon – head over there to read it!

A little hint…

BIG savings on BIG buckets

Our prices on buckets are FANTASTIC right now.  Seriously... pick up the phone and call me TODAY to order at these prices.  Our instant milk wins blind taste challenges at events and parties - it is THAT good.  And do you see the discounted price right now?  That is only $2.13 a gallon - and it gets delivered to your door and has a sealed shelf life of 25 years and once opened 2 years - so grab a few at that price (prices are only going up).  Don't overlook the other products - Cornmeal, Beans, Flour... all at great prices.  PLUS our buckets all come with a gamma lid on them (a $7+ value).

Amaranth$61.79
Pearled Barley$47.09 $36.69*

Pantry Challenge {the month}

I posted yesterday about our goals for the Pantry Challenge we are doing.  Today we are going to look at our goals and see how we did.

1) Use the items that have not been rotated in the pantry for sometime.

We were successful in using many items from the pantry – opened things we tend to “save” like juice, it is just there – for “special” occasions!  Well we decided this month would be a special occasion.
We used some of those specialty items that I purchased for a great recipe I saw and then never got around to making – we made them this month (well a couple of them).  They were not really that good – the people who work at Trader Joe’s and create the sample recipes made them taste much better!
We started turning to canned fruits and vegetables more as the month went on (although see #3).
A few more items remain in the pantry that we want to use – we plan on using them and being more attentive to what it is we are buying.

2) Discover what exactly is in our freezer and use it.

We have cleaned out both freezers – but they are NOT even close to being empty – not that I want them to be empty. I just want to use the older items that we put off using.

Here is a picture of the freezer I took last week:

and the door

We have used a little more since these pictures but there is still TONS in there.  I have discovered I need to store more bread – or as you will read in #4 make it. Otherwise we have a pretty good supply of a variety of products in the freezer.

3) Reduce grocery budget – really I wanted to not go shopping at ALL, but wanted a little wiggle room.

We spent MAYBE $100 all month at the store. This included three trips. All three were a result of really good sale items that I wanted to get and put away for “after” the challenge.  You know the $5 off $20 coupons or the $10 off $50… yeah I am a sucker! We did buy milk, fruits and veggies around the 20th.  We were doing find drinking the THRIVE Instant Milk (it is actually REALLY good) but I had been wanting to make a permanent switch to 1/2 instant and 1/2 fresh milk for awhile anyway so the gallon of milk we got I split up and froze one gallon and then we had the other 1/2 (turned whole gallon) in the fridge. No one knew the difference so looks like that is a switch we will continue with.

I definitely learned I need more raw vegetables around. We did use the THRIVE vegetables with our meals and as side dishes but they are just not a good substitute for a salad!

We also went into Costco to get puppy food this past weekend as we were near there. We had enough to get through the month but it has made me realize we need to have a bigger supply of food for her around too.

4) Teach the kids more out eating from the pantry and making things here at home (crackers, bread, etc.)

This was the MOST fun of all. My youngest only 4 1/2 has taken a huge liking to making bread – which is dangerous! I LOVE homemade bread and just want to eat it all up. So we have to limit how often we bake.  We did use the bread for everything from snacks to breakfast and lunch sandwiches. During the winter I find it easier to bake bread – I don’t’ want the oven on in the summer time.
They both have learned more about where things are in the pantry as we went though things together. We will be spending more time incorporating them into our cooking/baking – they did a great job.

~~~~~

So… the challenge is “over”. Well not really. We plan to continue the challenge but more loosely. We want to use what is in our pantry. We have a year supply of many items but now that we eat a good deal of THRIVE foods we don’t need as many traditionally canned vegetables, boxes of mashed potatoes, rice mixes etc. So we plan to use those items up and replace them with THRIVE products.

Did we enjoy the challenge. I did, a lot. Really the ONLY time we went to any store was when we REALLY needed to. Not only did we save money by not buying things but also saved money on gas. I have had the same tank of gas for over a week – which is unheard of with my SUV! I went and did errands today for the first time all year.   I enjoyed taking the month of and living with what we have – which we have figured out is a lot!

Are you ready to take the challenge?  Challenge yourself for these 29 days of February and come back and let us know how you do.

FAQs about the Q

FAQ’s about the Q:

1. What forms of payment do you accept for the THRIVE Q?
We accept all credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, and American Express).

2. How do I update my credit card information?
Select the "My Q Settings" button on your dashboard (located on the left-hand side of the screen).

3. What if my credit card expires or is declined?
If your credit card is declined for any reason, you will be sent an e-mail informing you of this issue. Your Q shipments will be frozen until the issue is resolved. Any issue can be resolved by calling our front office at 801-756-9902 or by emailing q@shelfreliance.com

4. How can I access my Q through your website?
To access your THRIVE Q, sign into your account on our website (www.adamandkrisi.shelfreliance.com). Hover over the "Food Storage" tab on the homepage, then select “THRIVE Q.”

5. How do I pause my plan?
Once your plan is in place and your Q has started, a blue "Pause Shipment" button will appear on your Q Summary page. Clicking this button will pause your Q indefinitely and remove your payment information. If you’d like to skip shipments instead of pausing your plan, you can do so by changing the date of your next shipment on the “Edit Shipments” page.

6. I've noticed a difference in the price of my plan. Why have I seen a fluctuation?
The price of your Q plan will fluctuate depending on our current website pricing. If an item in your plan goes on or off sale, or up or down in retail price, your Q will automatically reflect that change. This will cause the total amount of your plan and monthly shipments to fluctuate. You will always get the lowest sale price on your plan items.

7. When will packages arrive at my home?
Packages will be shipped out the day you select to be billed every month. Shipments will usually arrive at your home within 5-7 business days from the shipping date.

8. Why don't my monthly shipments match my exact budget amount?
Our THRIVE Q calculates shipments based on your monthly budget amount. You will never be charged more than your monthly budget amount, but your shipments will probably never add up to that exact amount. The THRIVE Q will get as close to your monthly budget as possible; however, the varying costs of our food storage cans make it impossible to meet your exact budget amount every month.

9. Why is there a minimum monthly budget for my Q?
In order for the THRIVE Q to properly function, your monthly budget amount must be greater than the amount of your most expensive can (to include that can and shipping). If you input a monthly budget that does not cover the most expensive can in your plan plus shipping charges, a box will pop up and inform you what your minimum amount must be. As long as your monthly budget amount covers the most expensive can in your plan, no other minimums will be applied to your THRIVE Q.

10. What if I don't live in the continental U.S. and would like to create a THRIVE Q plan?
We do not currently offer a THRIVE Q option for customers outside the continental United States.

11. How do I create a food storage plan for my Q?
To create your plan, simply visit our food storage calculator, the THRIVE Planner, and enter your family’s information. Once you submit your profile, our calculator will automatically generate a food storage plan based on your settings. Once your plan has been created, click the “Set Up Monthly Shipments” button to move the food in your plan to the THRIVE Q.
We understand the nutritional requirements and taste preferences of individuals vary, which is why we allow you to edit your plan to your specific needs. You can add, remove, or edit the quantity of any item in your plan.

12. How do I set up my THRIVE Q?
Once you've selected the THRIVE Q option, you will be prompted to sign into the Shelf Reliance website. If you do not already have an account, you can easily create one on the login page. Once you have signed in, you will be directed to your personal THRIVE Q settings page. You can edit your Q in any way you wish. When you wish to begin shipments, you can enter your payment information by clicking the “Begin Shipments” button. Your Q is not activated until your payment information has been added. Once this information is entered, our Q will automatically divide your plan into monthly shipments.

13. How are my monthly shipments calculated?
When you enter your monthly budget, our Q divides your plan into monthly shipments that meet your financial parameters. The number of shipments depends on the monthly budget you select.

14. How can I see how many shipments I have left and how many I've received?
Your THRIVE Q Dashboard features a THRIVE Q Summary near the top of the page. This summary displays your monthly budget, the number of shipments you have yet to receive, and the number of shipments you have already received.

15. How do I add more products to my Q?
Click the “Add Products” button, located on the left side of your THRIVE Q Dashboard. Doing so will take you to shop for the food you want to add to the Q. Find the food you’d like to add, enter a quantity for that food, then click the “Add to Thrive Q” link on the product page.

16. How do I edit individual shipments?
Click the “Edit Shipments” button on your THRIVE Q Dashboard. You’ll be able to edit the date and budget for individual shipments on this page. You can also select specific items to be included in your next shipment.

17. How do I increase/decrease my current monthly budget?
If at any time after the first three months you would like to increase or decrease your monthly budget amount, you can do so on the My Q Summary page. Click the “Edit” button next to your Monthly Budget, enter the new amount, and click “Save.” To alter your budget amount for a single shipment, click on the "Edit Shipments" button and navigate to the shipment you’d like to edit. Click the “Change” button next to the Order Cap for that shipment, enter the new amount, and click “Save.” Changing this amount will only affect the shipment you are currently editing.
