For what I have read you cannot freeze cottage cheese, like Ashley said, I don't think it would thaw properly.

Thanks for the info. Spinach Pie sounds interesting.

Okay ladies here's a tip and a possible warning:

I'm not saying all garages/mechanics to this but pay attention!!!

A friend of mine who was a mechanic told me about this and when I thought about it, hmmm sound familiar.

When a lady/woman brings her car into the garage for anything, oil change, tire rotation, etc....The person at the counter puts a symbol on the work order it could be a star, a check mark....you know where I'm going with this.

The car could be registered under your name or your husbands it doesn't matter but if you drop the car off ladies/girls, etc. YOU WILL ALMOST ALWAYS GET A CALL SAYING, YOU NEED YOUR WIPERS, Your battery is low, etc...


Just saying pay attention the next time you bring your car into some place like C.T. or even a dealer because what my friend told was true for me and I always brought my car to the dealer.....hmmmmm. NOW I JUST SAY NO (haha)

Just got the call from the auto place. Need a battery too. UGH.

Amazing what you find in the freezer...a pie...oh my (lol) - I bet you feel fantastic now that it's done!

I hated going back to work, and I just have the one child. However, now that I am home more often- I miss the adult talk... A LOT.. which may be reflected in how often I post here...mmmm.....

So, I finally did what I had been putting of... DS and I with gloves on hand went to our dirty 1/2 finished basement and took out EVERYTHING that was in our freezer. I thought I "knew" everything in there. I didn't because I found a few surprises. The inventory of the freezer is now on my computer (where I meal plan) as well as my fridge.

The surprises is that I don't have as many tuscan veggies left, but do have lots of fruit essentials. I also found 2 pkgs of ground chicken, which is great as FIL can't have beef often as it affects his gout. And a pie... I found a pie. DH will be VERY happy with that for dinner.

I know it's fantastic, learning so much from all you great ladies & of course vesper who sneeks in from time to time (lol)

Yep for eight months now. Review and recipe is on post #358 on pg 24. I have a HE. Because it is thin- no clogging.

PAGE 24??? Wow, can't believe we are on pg 32 of posts already and it is only the 11th!!!!

Good morning Frugal SC'ers

To another savvy savings day or no spend days for some of us.

[macw1960]

Good morning to you too. I never take our cars in as that would be DH's job but that is good to know for future reference, jasperandchar.

It will be a no spend day here again as I am not planning on going anywhere. I will be making that spinach pie this weekend but I will have to add spinach to my grocery list. Thanks for the recipe and the tips, lecale.

Good morning all,

another day of digging through the freezer to see what I can cook and bake. Its seems like the freezer is the place bananas go to die so maybe it will be more Banana Chocolate chip muffins. I still have loads of tomatoes too so I'm thinking butter chicken may be on tap for DH tonight.

March break doesn't start until next week for us. It's 2 weeks here. Growing up in Quebec I remember it being 2 weeks, but when we moved to Ontario, it was only 1. Hubby is a teacher, so we never have to worry about childcare over march break. Once March break is over for us, it'll be back to work for me. I don't wanna go back to work; I've enjoyed my year off.

Here in QC it's 1 week and it was last week

Morning All...Well today is a no bake day for me...yeah....
But we have a couple of appointments today....So....
Wondering how much it's going to end up costing....
Even though I will bring them a snack and juice....
There will be McDonald, Tim Hortons and ALL these other treat stores.
I hear all the please....please....can we have....? And I eventually cave.

[Crochetlady]

Last night I was digging in the freezer to make room for the hamburger I bought yesterday. OMG Found 14 packs of hot dogs. I bought 2 yesterday because I thought we were down to 1. Anyone notice the new size of Schneiders Red Hots? There are only 10 instead of 12. Same price of course.

You know what....I've heard this before.
