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.

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
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.

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

Re: How to Save Money
"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!

Re: How to Save Money
Have you ever gotten coupons from thecouponclippers.com ? I love that site... I picked up 25 of the glade spray coupons that are $1 off two cans. I also have 10 (which was the limit) of the suave $1 off two products coupons. With the double coupon deal at KMart, I will get 50 cans of glade spray and 20 bottles of suave shampoo FREE... and will only be paying sales tax on the items. Plus I have several $1 off coupons on deodorants, toothpaste, etc that I will use. Can't wait to see what the ticket shows the total savings to be.
