Had to take some workbooks for church to town to get copied. I was the closes, 12 miles. Everyone else was 45 miles, so I was elected.

While I was in town, I did some shopping. Got 4 gal of milk for $2.19. I might get 2 more tomorrow. I can freeze the milk for later. I hate paying $3 a gallon and the cow I got milk from is being dried for calfing. I also got 5 doz extra large eggs for $0.75 and bananas for 3 lbs for $0.99. I also bought powder milk to use for cooking. It worked out to be about $1.75 per gallon.

I also decided to make some mixes. So I bought 50 lbs of oat meal for $17.89. So long as we can use it before it goes rancid, I saved $30. My husband just laughed. I bought 50 lbs of high gluten flour for $8.08. It is comparable to bread flour, which is best for yeast type baked goods. At walmart, bread flour was $11 for 10 lbs.

If u r interested in the mixes, here is the link:

Today I am making 4 doz cinnamon rolls. We will use them for breakfast, lunch, & a snack. The recipe called for milk, so I used powder milk. I also used h/m butter from fresh cream.

I bought the walmart brand gallon-sized zip-lock storage bags to freeze the milk & flours. Big mistake. They don't seal, so tomorrow I am returning them.

I bought corn starch in a 5 lb container for my mixes. Unfortunately walmart would have been cheaper by more than $1. Oh well, live & learn. Of course if I would have had a price book, this wouldn't have happened.
