I didn't even think about cereal....I can't tell you the last time I bought cold cereal. It's waaaay to much and most of it would be more nutritious if you ate the box! LOL! My dd doesn't even like it (maybe 'cause she can count on her two hands the number of times she's had it, I dunno), and would rather have a bowl of oatmeal (she is an oatmeal freak!). I make pancakes/waffles/eggs/etc for breakfasts.
Right now it's cheaper for me to buy regular milk. I buy whole milk and use half milk half water. To me it tastes like 1% milk, so that's fine. Milk is amazingly 1.88 a gallon right now for us, so for about .94 I have a gallon of milk. I was using powdered milk alot when milk was almost 4.00 a gallon (!), but since the price wars are going on amongst our grocers, I just buy regular milk.
I made all of our baby food too when dd was little. I cannot believe what they charge for a jar of food! Outrageous! It was alot easier to do it myself, I thought. And, like you, we don't buy cookies, muffins, cakes, etc. I make those. Way cheaper!
**Cat...I'll have to ask them about that. I am sure they'll sell in a bigger bulk size. They've done it for me with molasses before, so I imagine they'd do it with anything. I'll ask next time!! Thanks Momma for the site....amazingly, the bulk food store I shop in has it much cheaper (like 1/2 the price!). I think I paid .98 a pound for it, which I guess isn't too bad! :-) Thanks for the link!
