That minimizes us from stopping somewhere and picking up something quick to drink or eat. -- Username jaxdaisy Planned Leftovers I try to use planned leftovers. Roast beef becomes sliced beef in gravy with potatoes - or - beef stroganoff over noodles - or it goes into my "leftover soup" container in the freezer. Chicken becomes a pot pie or a casserole or a soup. Ham goes into scalloped potatoes and ham. -- Username Rainbowmom To read more planned leftover meals, visit: http://mommysavers.com/boards/showthread.php?p=64895#post64895 To share your money saving tips with other member, visit: http://mommysavers.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=14 ------------------------------ HOT Deals: Country Home Magazine - Today only!

Special Needs Forum A place for parents with special needs children to discuss the unique physical, emotional, and financial challenges of raising their kids. http://mommysavers.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=67 $$$ on Kids' Christmas Gifts I was talking to some friends a few days ago and asked how much they plan on spending on each child for Christmas. I noticed as my daughters get older the gifts go up in price. One woman had no idea -- but named off what she was getting her kids (ages 4 and 1.5) and said it would be around $350 per child. This is a little much for me. How do you all plan? http://mommysavers.com/boards/showthread.php?t=6919 Christmas Cards: Keeping it Simple How do you keep Christmas card exchanging simple?
