Nutrient dense, inexpensive foods. Although there may be a debate about that cheese product stuff being nutritious in any way.

Do you really need that much milk anyways? |
We go through a couple gallons a week. Like I said though, I buy whole milk and water it down. It definately helps!

I am going to make some homemade hot chocolate with powdered milk. Here is a recipe I found from the internet:
HOT CHOCOLATE MIX
8 quarts powdered milk
1 pound Nestle's Quick
1 pound confectioner's sugar
8 ounces coffee creamer, powdered
Mix together and store in covered container. Use 1/4 cup and add hot water for each mug.
Serving Size: 12.
I am not going to make this much. And I will use generic chocolate milk mix.

Serving size: 12????
That recipe has to make more servings than that... If not, it's cheaper to get the boxes of 10 cocoa mixes at the dollar store for $1.

Yeah. Ignore that. I made half a batch tonight and it made a lot. It tastes really good too!

Re: How to Save Money
I don't know if this is just local or not, but my K-Mart is having a double coupons up to $2.00 from November 30 thru Dec 6th. Awesome! I will be there!!
Limit 75 coupons per day.  Some restrictions do apply. You could call your local K-Mart and see if they are doing this.

Re: How to Save Money
K-mart is on Kristin's NO-SHOP list. They are dropping the "Merry Christmas" greeting in lieu of "Happy Holidays" soooo... NO SHOP for K-Mart.

"Never pay full retail!"
Also, stay away from Gift cards this season as the store may not be around in the New Year!
If you get a gift card from a retailer--go shopping soon!

Well......that's not going to stop me from going there. I guess if that's her conviction though, I respect it!!
