When you buy the gravy packs from Walmart, to match the total weight of the #10 can, it came out to a bit over $29. We have stuff in our closet, Four 4-tier shelves in our master bedroom, and stuff in the garage. I built a Excel file to track all our stuff, it's helpful and easier to track. I applaud you for going back to school, and for your change to your finances. Very well thought out.

I bake a loaf to just play around, but now that time isn't that big of an issue. I do have a grain mill, and have been reluctant to purchase an electric one because of the cost. Anyways, that will be another post.<br />BTW, I am really humbled by the amount of posts that have been done. Thanks for reading. Hey Monsoon, any good recipes? I'll cruise on over to your site in a few days, after I study for 3 major tests happening this Friday.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188650874375595590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941081507035146847.post-26756485248169274652012-09-05T20:41:52.025-05:002012-09-05T20:41:52.025-05:00I am gonna try lentils on the boys real soon.

If you don't have a grain mill, Beprepared.com has their small hand grinder on sale this month with some yeast and other stuff. It's whay I use and I can grind enough flour for a loaf of bread in about 8 mminutes -- Dear Husband can knock it out in about half that time. I use 3 cups of hand ground (sometimes rye or oat flour if those grains are available for less) and 1 cup store-bought flour per loaf, which really cuts down the cost of those PBJ sandwiches! Salt, dry milk and yeast are enough to make bread, or add sugar or other goodies to brighten it up. The $45 for the grain mill deal will probably pay for itself in less than 10 loaves of bread and it will be great bread.Monsoon Matriarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476615206392489371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941081507035146847.post-17784546439665363602012-09-05T19:10:16.647-05:002012-09-05T19:10:16.647-05:00Store dried split peas.

Nasty things seem to hatch out of sealed boxes. They bore a small hole through almost anything if they can't get under the lid which isn't a great seal some times then you see them flying everywhere.
