My fave quick treat to make is some version of Krispies Treats but the Mud Bars could become a new favorite. Anything with chocolate and marshmallows has my vote!

My favorite quick and easy dessert is ice cream.

Comment on Day Ten – A Nice Surprise by Al Huckell

My wife and I recieved the Deep Covered Cranberry Stoneware as a gift from our daughter- in -law. Monday evening we were having guests for dinner, so placed a roast in the stoneware for oven baking at 350 degrees. When it was done I removed the stoneware from the oven, setting it on top of the stove to remove the roast. I went to reach for the forks to remove the roast and the stoneware shattered, creating quite a mess, and ruining our whole meal. This was only the third time the stoneware had been used.

Comment on Day Eighteen – Best Laid Plans by Solo

I don’t blame you. I do the same thing sometimes. My plan this year going forward is, everytime I get those 3 days week end or more, I do one project. That way I will be able to clear a lot of mess which pile up over time.

Goodluck.

Comment on Day Fifteen – I Love Costco by Pat (On A Whimsey)

We have Costco in UK and more branches are opening, slowly! Some of the deals are amazing although you do have to know the price of items before you go. Just because they sell it does not always mean they are the cheapest! However, having said that, I love it

Comment on Thrift Stores by John Witte

Cool info, Becca!! In St. Louis, the best place to find GREAT deals on slightly used clothes is the Scholarshop. Two locations. All proceeds go to the Scholarship Foundation for St. Louis students. Good deals and good deeds!!! Most of what I was wearing in Denver for Christmas came from the Clayton store. I have, to date gotten dress shirts from Brooks Brothers, American Eagle and Talbot’s for Men (none of which was more than $6), levis ($5) and a killer Brooks Brothers overcoat (a bit of a splurge for $35, but retails for $500). Wendy has found some great outfits, including a formal gown she wore to Dream Night Dinner last January and only needed minor adjustments from our tailor (total cost for dress and tailoring was about $65!
Keep up the good work! We do the same with the retail difference from our business and deposit into a seperate savings account. Have done this for quite a while now. Never thought of doing it on other stuff, however, our grocery stores don’t do the whole, “this is how much you just saved,” thing on the receipt.
