The operative word there for note is WAS. You know I could handle that I guess if they make enough money and are nice. But, no. They don't and aren't. So, no, it doesn't work, really.<br /><br />MoveOn.com!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351299832598163605.post-52719471902039459352015-06-11T13:31:13.671-07:002015-06-11T13:31:13.671-07:00Fineartgourds wrote via email: Liked your blog on ...Fineartgourds wrote via email: Liked your blog on the food bill. It's the simple truth; cook from scratch and as much out of the garden as possible. Make soups and have them for lunch with a sandwich instead of all those gawdawful chips and sodas. Unfortunately, it doesn't work if the whole household is not in agreement. My ex-husband would never eat a bean, it was Poverty Food! He only wanted status foods in the house and any hint of left-overs was anathema. Splash, splash, splash that money around!

For example, we got a little 13 cu.f chest freezer for free so now we go to Costco once every 6-8 weeks and buy meat in bulk. Better quality, lower price.<br /><br />Our only indulgence - like you - is going out to eat. Usually, though, we split the meal and buy an extra salad. We found we were taking too much home in doggie bags.<br /><br />My husband is hooked on one type of breakfast cereal and you know how expensive boxed breakfast cereal is on Hawaii. Per pound it's pretty expensive on the mainland! I don't know what we're going to do about that. Scrimp like crazy on other stuff I guess! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
