Great job getting all that food for under $65!! And a yummy looking menu to boot! :)
Yay! You're back! I hope you got all your computer problems straightened out. Yes, summer is flying past! I thought I was going to have all the time in the world - ha ha!! I will miss it when it's gone, and enjoy what's left the fullest that I can!
Um, Gayle? Your link to Bread Machine French Bread goes to Another Amarretto Chicken (sp???). Just thought you'd like to know :P
I know you make your own laundry detergent. Have you ever made your own dishwasher detergent?
Love your blog. I look forward to it every week.
So Gayle, how do you menu plan when you don't go shopping with any specific menu in mind? Do you make up a menu after you get home with all the food?
Just curious, I am trying to learn how to cut back on dollars not on taste! :)
I tried your go without a list and it was sooo much easier. I only forgot one staple...peanut butter! We have survived without it...lol!
Lovin' your blog!
Wow. Really good once again. I think you are becoming my hero.
As an newbie to this blog, what do you do for lunches? Leftovers? Sandwiches?
Hi Gayle, my name is Stacey and I've been a lurker to your site for a couple of weeks. WOW! Can I come hang out with you and just absorb. I thought I was frugal and doing great, but now I think I can do better. Keep on with all the great advice. I've even searched out a discount grocery and my husband found a factory bakery store just down the street from his work, Just last week alone we saved a lot! Thank You!
I am wondering what you would do if your dh would not eat things like lentils, or things like that. I find it hard to be frugal becasue my husband is SUCH a picky eater! Do you have any advice? I would love to take some tips and maybe incorporate what I could!
When you use that Bierocks recipe, do you use a different bread machine roll recipe for the dough? Just wondering--I like to use our bread machine too.
