Please keep me posted of your changes. My list would almost look like yours.

You have got me thinking on this. Also, email me your "list" you would get a Ada"s. I am still planning on going there, Maybe this week. I fell sick the end of this week and just did not feel up to it.

ALso, besides you list, what type recipes do you make at home for bread items?
Thanks,
Pat

Hey, just wanted to know how this is working for you, I just started. I went shopping yesterday for March, spent $187. I will still have to pick up milk, bread, fresh veg from time to time. I would really like to make this work as I think it would save me in the long run. I get a lot from your site and enjoy the reading, blessings Sherry
