Well, unfortunately it's Friday and I have no weight loss to report...no gain, but no loss. BUT, this is about the time I typically mysteriously gain anywhere from 2-4 pounds, so no gain is good here!
At Earth Fare I discovered they sell bulk sugar, flour, oats....all kind of stuff! They have Demerara sugar for 77 cents a pound and organic whole wheat bread flour for 1.27 a pound! I just bought 1.5 pounds of sugar at Walmart for 2.79, so this will be much cheaper! Soooo, I am going to make my own bread...yay! (of course in an electric bread maker) With a decent loaf of whole grain bread now costing 4.99 a loaf, this should save me some money! I'm gonna use it to make my own hamburger buns too!
My friend Roni and I made some laundry detergent too this week. The Duggars have their recipes posted and she came across this. It's supposed to cost about $2.00 per batch and each batch is about 40 loads. They also have a way to stretch fabric softener as well I'm gonna try....take liquid fabric softener and mix it 2 parts water with 1 part softener. Get some cheap sponges, cut them in half and keep them in the solution. When you dry clothes, wring out one of the sponges good and throw in the dryer! I would think that would last forever that way...
So, sorry that I don't have more to report for now. Since I walked alot today and was extremely busy....maybe I'll weigh again in the morning...just sayin' ;-)

Neat, but where are the links to the recipes from the Duggars? :) I love that show by the way, they are a good quality family.
