DEAR SARA: I have found several homemade mixes on your forums that I would like to make. If the mixes were stored in a glass jar and exposed to light, would it affect the mix? I am unsure with some of the spices. The reason I ask is because I would like to use glass jars, such as mason jars, and adhere a label. I think ...]]></description>

DEAR SARA: Do you make your own breadcrumbs? When I was little, my mom always made them. She had this little satchel in which we used to put leftover bread. She kept it in the cupboard, and when it was full, we got out the hand-crank grinder and made our breadcrumbs. Things are made with so many preservatives now. I have been afraid of making my own because ...]]></description>

DEAR SARA: I have been elected by my friends and neighbors to host a cookie-exchange party at Christmas. We were looking for something new and cheap to do this year. But I haven&#8217;t a clue on how to do this. How many cookies do you make? Do you have something playing in the background, such as a movie? What should I have ready for everyone to take their ...]]></description>

DEAR SARA: Can I freeze whipped cream? Is it possible to make a big batch of real whipped cream and just take out a few servings at a time? &#8212; Constance, New Jersey
DEAR CONSTANCE: Yes, you can freeze whipped cream. You can use a pastry bag with a large tip and place dollops or spoon-drop mounds of it onto a wax-paper-lined cookie sheet. Place into the freezer. ...]]></description>

DEAR SARA: A friend&#8217;s birthday is coming soon, and, before I started being frugal, I used to spend about $30 on friends for birthdays. But I need to get that number down now. I was wondering if you have given thrift-store finds as gifts and if there were any negative reactions from it. I think this particular friend wouldn&#8217;t mind, because she shops at them and is also ...]]></description>

DEAR SARA: Just wondering if you have any tried-and-true home remedies for sore throats. I&#8217;ve had a mild sore throat for the past two to three days off and on, and I&#8217;m getting tired of it. My throat looks red and irritated. Any help would be much appreciated. &#8212; Q.M., forums

DEAR SARA: I&#8217;m having trouble coming up with snack ideas to cook from scratch to save money. I have made popcorn, cookies and brownies. What else can I make? My family loves chips, and I hate constantly dropping money on a not-so-healthy semi-expensive snack. &#8212; Andrea, e-mail
DEAR ANDREA: You can make muffins or quick breads, quesadillas, homemade applesauce, gelatin or cinnamon or cheese toast. Many snacks don&#8217;t have ...]]></description>

DEAR SARA: I&#8217;m looking for a cereal-cookie recipe. I looked for the recipe on your forum, but couldn&#8217;t find it. I&#8217;m sure I saw it on your Web site. It&#8217;s a recipe that uses up small amounts of cereal left in the boxes. &#8212; Cheryl, Michigan
DEAR CHERYL: Here are two cereal-cookie recipes from the forums. 
Apple Jacks Cereal Cookies
1 cup butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2-3/4 cups flour

It has been a while (quite a while, actually) since I lived in a dorm. Can you help me come up with some items we might have missed? We know she needs long ...]]></description>

DEAR SARA: I wanted to know if you have any suggestions for frugal beauty supplies. I use the foam makeup triangles to apply foundation and concealer and have been wondering if you had any other suggestions. I usually end up using those sponges way too long, and I am sure there must be something better for the environment as well. &#8212; Emily, e-mail
