Your frugal list is still great.thank you for sharing. <br />This week we cooked from scratch and kept within our grocery budget. I had some sad apples that were peeled and stewed, then frozen for future apple crumble. I use your recipe for crumble topping. Yum! I do dessert on Sunday nights as a treat. I made 8 logs of cookie dough for the freezer too. There's more cooking on my list to make the coming weeks easier and cheaper. Win Win. <br />Thank you for sharing your frugal ways with us Wendy. It s very motivational. Have a great week.
