I have used JC Penney for their Christmas pictures because so much cheaper by the sheet for 3.99 vs. Sears 7.99. I am happy with both of them, though I can only choose one. What do you think? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=34004 Cheaper Organic Foods I have always eaten very healthy until i had my daughter! It gets so difficult to eat healthy and buy organic/healthfood without breaking the bank! We have started buying offbrand and lunch meat to save some money after our big move. Does anyone have good ideas for going to the grocery store and spending under 100 dollars in healthy food? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=34081 What Do You Do All Day Long? A few months ago I had someone (a guy, married but no children) ask me 'what I did at home all day long'. He didn't ask it in a nasty tone, he seemed genuinely interested at how I could fill a whole day with 'just' staying home with a child. I was at a loss and started explaining everything I do for our family, but then thought 'why am I explaining to HIM?' I need a good response, but not nasty, more matter of fact, how-can-you-even-ask-me-this question response. http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=34384 ------------------------------ What's Cooking: Quick, Easy -N- Fast Recipes Chili Cheese Ball 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened 1 (8 oz.) block sharp cheddar, shredded 2 T. milk (optional, for softer spread) 2 or 3 minced garlic cloves 1 package chili seasoning 1 C. chopped English walnuts In food processor or with mixer, blend softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, milk and garlic until creamy smooth. Chill for at least 1/2 hour so cheese mixture will be easier to handle. Tear off 2 pieces of wax paper, each about a foot long. Sprinkle the package of chili mix seasoning on one and the chopped nuts on the other. Form the cheese into ball shape with your hands, then roll in chili seasoning, covering completely. Then roll in nuts. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until about an hour before serving. Serve with your favorite snack crackers. -- Username Ryans Mom10 This was posted in our Appetizer archive: http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showforum=17 ------------------------------ Creative Kidstuff: Rainbow Bread This homemade bread has food coloring in it so they have REAL rainbow bread. After seperating batches and making different colors of dough you can braid them together or simply layer the dough, etc. so that when baked they are super colorful. Use your imagination. Not to mention homemade bread is MUCH cheaper than store bought and your kids just might think it "tastes" better. -- Username Melissae For the complete recipe, visit: http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=34049 This came from our Creative Kidstuff forum: http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showforum=42 ------------------------------ Coming Soon: Father's Day Ideas |
