Then you just cook with what you have. It's TOTALLY different that most meal planning, where if you want to make it and you don't have it, you go to the store. <BR/><BR/>The book was published 12 years ago, but at that time she fed her family of 6 for $180 a month, TOTAL! <BR/><BR/>Check the library, I bet they have it.Morgan Hageyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477753070828406848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989676854656500628.post-33646133298390710312008-09-16T11:26:00.000-07:002008-09-16T11:26:00.000-07:00I'm with you, Morgs.

So...Haha... aluminum foil, that's a new one for me. Sometimes I'll reuse baggies, but sometimes I also reason that the time and frustration of washing and drying them isn't worth the few cents. :) Anyway, I like this. You're great. Supposedly sunshine is a natural whitener, too, so if you do that then you don't even need to use yucky products on whites (like diapers!). But then is it bad for colors? I'm unsure.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050669522067353357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989676854656500628.post-10976399837638743352008-09-15T19:42:00.000-07:002008-09-15T19:42:00.000-07:00Ohh, good plan!

Second of all, pretend you live in Alaska, and everything costs at least TWICE as much as it does in Vegas. Then decide if it is even worth buying the ziplock baggies at all. I gave them up altogether this summer!Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202557067035393301noreply@blogger.com
