    Default Good news/bad news

    I found a local supply for milk, butter and cheese!!! It's organic and a little more costly than Walmart but NO opportunity for impulse purchases, so my grocery bill is waaaaayy down! The bad news is I made the mistake of stopping at the quilt/fabric store - so there went my savings ((GRRR)). Bad me, bad me, bad me

    local/organic is going to be a healthier choice also, so think long term medical savings

    congrats!!

    I have to stay out of the fabric store as much as possible. It's bad for my budget.

    Great job on finding a local supplier for dairy!

    Cool find for the dairy products! WTG! I too, alas, hear you about the fabric store. I have a 50% off coupon in my purse I am avoiding using. It expires the end of this month. I know what I want to spend it on, but I know DH will be unhappy about it. He'd rather have the money in the bank.

    Yes- I stand in front of you all and admit I am a fabric-aholic!! I'm a quilter when I have time but the fabric stash is pretty out of control.
