Expiration Dates?

You can freeze bread too, if you eat it really slowly. My bread eating rate actually went up since I'm home and trying to eat sandwiches for lunch to save money. Speaking of which, I've finally found a wheat bread I like: Sara Lee's Honey Wheat. It's tasty!

Now that you mention that, Morri, a friend of mine used to freeze milk. Yep, if milk gets bad that much quicker, then, it will get bad in our house.

I try and offset that by buying cereal and having the kids eat it for snacks instead of other stuff.

But, so, this means that they are making less deliveries and the stores are stocking up on it and putting it out as needed? So, the thing is to know when they receive their deliveries so that if it is close, you might just wait for the next fresh shipment?

And, we will eat the bread as long as it isn't moldy or smells bad. The kids don't know...I dont tell them.

Oh yeah, Target has better prices on cereals. Try them, Morri. And, something I found, womens {I guess mens as well} disposable shavers, Ralphs' did not have a generic inexpensive brand at all! I found some at Target for pretty cheap, nothing similar at Ralphs', just expensive.

I'll have to remember the milk tip, it is way too expensive to buy them seperately.

Morri, how long have you been buying cereal? A while back (I foorget 5-8 years maybe) there was a big news blitz that the cereal companies were ripping off the public, price fixing, and the like. So in response they reduced the prices from $6 a box to $3-4 a box. Now, along with everything else, they are back up to $4-5 a box and the boxes are getting smaller. I always look for the sales, and yes Target and Walmart type stores are cheeper than Grocery chains.

And BTD, you actually eat the serving size of 3/4 cup? That's like 3 spoonfulls! I would have never thought anyone did that!!

Yes, I do. Cheerio's is a cup I believe, and much more than 3 spoonfulls. Grapenuts is half a cup (and super fattenig!

) which is also more than 3 spoonfulls. Don't use such a big spoon

Sara Lee bread is very good! I couldn't agree more.
