Its all processed foods. Same goes for bathroom stuff, making my own is so much cheaper AND I know what I'm using and not those chemicals. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356551594166191460.post-86726786194537485062014-05-22T09:44:21.137-07:002014-05-22T09:44:21.137-07:00Couponing can be great as long as you are buying t...Couponing can be great as long as you are buying things you actually need. One way to make consistently good bread is to have a the best bread maker on the market which I use just for the "dough" setting and then bake in my oven because I like the results better. It develops the gluten even on wheat bread and really is the only bread machine that makes great bread. This is the easy way out. I just follow the recipe provided in the book and you can pick them up at yard sales. Its called Zojirushi bread maker. The new ones are pricy. I have one I got used and love it . Here's a link to the new one's <br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-BB-PAC20-Bakery-Virtuoso-Breadmaker/dp/B0067MQM48/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=lettfromahome-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=XQFQEX7MSVRC6TKC&creativeASIN=B0067MQM48<br /><br />Also here is a great and reliable recipe from one of my fave blogs. I used it all the time too. <br /><br />http://www.paratusfamiliablog.com/2012/05/whole-wheat-bread-that-will-have-you.htmlchristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078015763161446290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356551594166191460.post-72305765944733929162014-05-22T08:39:18.422-07:002014-05-22T08:39:18.422-07:00Dear Sarah,
One thing you didn't mention was ...Dear Sarah,<br /><br />One thing you didn't mention was couponing. My daughter has become a super grocery couponer. We have one store in our town that still does double coupons (although only on one item per coupon) and we plan our shopping trips around whatever is on sale. We usually spend between $125-160 for $300 of product. This includes laundry, bath, hair and misc items. I am also working on baking our own bread, but I find I have a hard time slicing the loaf to a good thickness. Either it is too thick or so think the slice won't hold together. Any suggestions?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750196380144888603noreply@blogger.com
