So, yeah, for me it's worth the trip :).Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-62890955633049770752015-08-13T10:34:20.484-08:002015-08-13T10:34:20.484-08:00*Laugh* I've tried making my own cream of chic...*Laugh* I've tried making my own cream of chicken soup and freezing it. Then it immediately gets lost in the Bermuda rectangle that is my freezer and I end up buying cans in sheer frustration. I just found that buying the cans was easier and more convenient for us, but thank you for the recommend.<br /><br />And you bet I know those blogs. I used to follow a lot more back when I used to coupon blog, but fell out of it for a while and ended up doing allergy blogging due to some of us having to go gluten free, my daughter having a corn allergy and my son having things like garlic, oat and other allergies to worry about. Thank goodness those allergies finally cleared for the most part.Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-87712681422918939332015-08-12T05:56:33.568-08:002015-08-12T05:56:33.568-08:00I am also new to your blog...linked over here from...I am also new to your blog...linked over here from The Prudent Homemaker. I've never thought about buying water softener salt from Home Depot. I'm stopping there today so I'm going to check the price. <br /><br />I agree about the quality of Target socks. Really not worth the money. My sons like the socks from Famous Footwear. They have a loyalty program and I occasionally get coupons from them through email.
