Saving $$$ 1996 Style!




I have this book from 1996 that my MIL bought for me at a yard sale about six or seven years ago. The prices are so funny to read! Pillsbury refrigerator biscuits go on sale for $.25! Hahaha! Ground beef is $.99 per lb. Expensive cereal is $3 a box. But the concepts are still very valid!

I'm re-reading it and have found some GREAT recipes!

Right now I'm making homemade granola. I'll post the recipe after I decide if I like it. The one I'm excited about is a cream of ___ soup mix.

Cream of ____ Soup Mix
2 cups instant milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup instant chicken bouillon
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp pepper

Combine these in an air tight container.

To use for soup, combine 1/3 cup mix and 1-1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil stirring often. Add a vegetable for more flavor - diced celery, mushrooms or broccoli.

To use for any recipe calling for a can of cream of mushroom, chicken, or celery soup use 1/3 cup mix and 1-1/4 cup of water. Boil a few minutes & stir often.

Nursing Cover Up Specs

Each one is hand cut and sewn and each is unique. Although they are approximately the same size, sizes do vary slightly, with the smallest size being 20" x 30." The neck strap is adjustable. In the corner you'll find a piece of soft fabric (terrycloth, flannel, or jersey knit) that serves as a pocket and as a burp cloth.

Check out the fabric collection in my etsy shop - just follow the link. Once you're there, choose your item & check out. You'll need to create an account name if you haven't shopped etsy before.

If you're in Yakima, I'll deliver it free. Otherwise, postage is approx $4.

And let me know if you prefer a different fabric than the ones shown. If you check the sold items you'll see what I've done in the past.
