A recent motto I’m attempting to sink into my soul is “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!”
Today I want to tell you about my frugalicious friend and neighbor Revelle.
She is doing something that makes me happier than a coondog on a bare leg.
Let me tell you about it.
But first, you must meet her precious 5 month old, Jaxon.
He was smiling at me right before this, I promise.
I think he likes me, don’t you?
For all the moms out there who are wanting to say no to consumerism and save some bucks, with 30 minutes and a food processer, Revelle will show you how.
She is making her own baby food for this little solid-food eater.
A jar of sweet potatoes in the grocery store runs about one dollar per jar.
Instead, she bought 3 sweet potatoes for $2.36. She baked them, peeled them, and cut them up. Then put them in a food processor and pureed them.
She then poured them into these little ice trays with lids and froze them.
She was able to make 40 one ounce servings for $2.36.
Math has never been my best subject, but I know that figures out to saving some serious moolah.
Plus it’s fresh and made in your own kitchen with your own germs.
And that’s as good as it gets.
Unless you add butter.
And marshmallows.

I ate the same thing for supper, and I could only eat about an ounce. I didn’t know what to do with the leftovers. Now I do, thanks!

Brandi, I really think you need to start a blog about your progress, struggles, and praises. Throw in a few A.S. stories as well.

I am really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A couple of my blog visitors have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?
