amazon13 That is what my husband and I were thinking would be the reason. I have not paid much attention, but I suppose there wouldn't be much to hang onto underneath an overpass either. DH keeps telling me that laying flat on the ground would be the best option, but...

When I was very young my mom would mix up powdered milk to save money. She knew that we did not like the taste of powdered milk, so she tried several ways of disguising the fact that we were indeed drinking mixed powdered milk. My...

amazon13 Thanks for your comment. I think that our pallettes eventually become accustomed to whatever is put before us to eat. There have been times when I have purchased a name brand of something because it ended up being less expensive than the store brand and when...

amazon13 Sometimes I don't think the generic tastes the same as the brand name. For instance, I love Kraft brand macaroni and cheese in the box. It is almost twice the price of the generic in our store, so in the past I would buy the generic. Finally, because there...

amazon13 Great ideas carlaabt! Adding a bit more water cuts down on the amount of sugar per serving as well. We don't drink kool-aid much here, but when we do, I will cut the sugar by a tad...not much though, because then no one would drink it..haha! When non-baking...

amazon13 Yep. I think in the past powdered milk has been more expensive, but I have not compared prices since the skyrocketing of food prices everywhere. I keep powdered milk on hand in case I am baking and realize that someone used the last of the milk and didn't tell...
