I save these up! It's amazing how fast they accumulate; effortless saving! I roll up the quarters in a coin "sock" and deposit the $10 in the bank~~or save for a future purchase of something I want. Also, try to send in an extra $10 or $20 each month when you send in your car payment! The balance due comes down fast!

It was about that time to go grocery shopping and I had very little money and didn't feel like putting together a menu, etc. I decided to see how long we (my 7 year old son and I) on just what we had left in the house. It was pretty extreme. I made a casserole out of a can of tuna, potato chip crumbs in the bottom of the bag, and a cream sauce made out of powdered milk. My son loved it! The powdered milk made everything possible. I was able to use it for biscuits, pancakes, etc. We were able to go an additional 2 weeks without shopping! (I lost some weight too).
