I can't wait to participate!<BR/><BR/>And AMEN to what you said about having frozen nuggets and fries on hand. I too felt guilty about it until I realized that I was going through the drive through more too... I am trying to focus on being healthier, but I have no problem keeping some of this stuff around if it is going to keep us from eating out more often.<BR/><BR/>Great post! :-)Marcyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18265483075223570536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101473495187445515.post-27239903193508589252008-04-27T15:47:00.000-04:002008-04-27T15:47:00.000-04:002008-04-27T15:47:00.000-04:00This is a great idea!

Duh, on my part. Of course they can be frozen, I just thought the food companies had a secret. ;) <BR/>We make our own french fries all the time, but as you said, some nights they do take a bit of time. Looking forward to following this new frugal challenge.

Now, I agree with you. I try to make healthy meals most of the time, but every once in a while, I just want something easy and fast. <BR/>I like the potato idea. I rarely buy potatoes because they always go bad before we eat them. Freezing them may be just the trick.Cassie - Homeschooling Fourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15604648403487773900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101473495187445515.post-1751396640771080462008-04-26T00:45:00.000-04:002008-04-26T00:45:00.000-04:002008-04-26T00:45:00.000-04:00I second that, its better to make it at home. This way its healthier and you control what goes in it. SO if you dont like it then you just change it up. I like to make bread at home. It just tastes better then most plus a loaf of the bread i like costs $8, when i make it at home its only 2 max .Romanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06868229940687903235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101473495187445515.post-78101889070714485442008-04-25T23:27:00.000-04:002008-04-25T23:27:00.000-04:002008-04-25T23:27:00.000-04:00This is a great idea! Not only for for money savings, but sometimes you don't have the item and just need to know how to make it with ingredients on hand!Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11038851025691438482noreply@blogger.com
