Any advice is welcome.

Never thought about using coffee filters. Wonder why, anyway, thanks for the idea.
For our New Years day lunch, I had ham, blackeyed peas, roasted potatoes, turnip greens and home-made sour dough bread.
I never touched the ham. I went straight for the peas, potatoes and greens....
I've not tried this yet but was told that if you use baking soda and vinegar together in the rinse cycle, sheets will be as white as when you took them out of the package. All yellowing gone.

Do you just roll the money saved using coupons back into your food budget or do you separate it out for another use?
I did the former for a while, then decided to separate it into its own little...
I am thinking about wrapping some in brown and some in gold or silver and leaving them plain will work for now. Later, I will only need to add trim before I put them under the tree. It will be a...

Rereading this thread reminded me again why I love this forum!
Its nice to have like-minded people to interact with. Not long ago, I posted that I had some left-overs and ask for ideas on how to...
A favorite dish of mine is a spinach, strawberry and walnut salad, with or without blue cheese.
Your taxed on food?
Here we are only taxed on prepared food.
People look at the flag (any flag) and see what they want to see. The good, the bad, the ugly. Its kind of how you choose to see things.
I had two great sale items over the week-end to go along with my .29 avocados, I bought a three pound bag of yellow onions for .69 and 6 packages of sale priced smoked sausage for 1.99 each. This is ...
When I make bread and cool it completely, I slide one loaf into a saved bread wrapper and put in the fridge. Once it is cold, I can slice it into thinner slices than I can when its room temp. I use...

I have a drawer full of lotions that I have collected from the hotels we use on week-end trips. Yes, I'm one of those people that takes the lotion. Its the perfect size to drop into my purse.

I did well with coupons yesterday.
Once a month, I do what I call my 'monthly supplies' shopping. These are not food related, they are health and personal products such as toothpaste, bath soap,...
That is exactly how I feel every time I print off a coupon from my computer. :D
