saving on milk
Sunday, September 14, 2008

I've found two ways to save on milk costs.

#1 If milk is on sale, but extra and freeze it.  It may take close to a full day to defrost, but tastes perfectly fine.

#2 Buy whole Vit D or 2% and cut it in half with water.  I use a washed out gallon jug of milk we've just finished and fill it half way with the milk and then top it off with water. (Actually, I go about 2/3 full).  Obviously, I do the same with the other half of the milk.  You still have the same nutrients, it's just that your milk's fat content has been cut in half.

saving yogurt
Friday, September 12, 2008

If you buy the wider-mouthed yogurt without a plastic top and you or your kids can't finish it all at one time, put a Pringles top on it and refridgerate for later.  The top fits perfectly!
