when backpacking, I just buy the jumbo ziplocs, fit an outfit into every one and then sit on it before closing it. Works great and doesn't require a vacuum. I really do save myself some space thi...
wow-$7.50 dozen is expensive.
Here (Vancouver), organics are regulated (same stipulations as pastured as far as I can tell from your description) and I can usually get a dozen for $5 CDN. I ...
saying this space would be cruel to children is insulting. Give your head a shake.
I'm not crazy about the aesthetics of this place but I love all the hidden storage.
I have always meal planned but I'm a little extreme. I have a sheet in Word that is divided into tables and then the ingredients I need are arranged in order at the store to avoid buying things I ...
honestly, we have a 4 litre ice cream pail and that gets filled up within a few days. We need something larger (and there's only 2 of us). A yoghurt container would be done in one day.

We also do hotpot regularly. We just use our electric wok for the broth.
I've also found this works well for a dinner party of up to 8 (you may have to have 2 going at once for this) as it's...
I've recently begun trying to get away from dairy and haved tried all three (still have yet to try oat or hemp milk).
So far, Almond Breeze almond milk with no sugar added is winning. I only...
I've always used coupons-for anything I already buy. I get them in the newspaper as well as order them from Save.ca (for all you Canadians on here). (I brag that I haven't paid full price for cat...
we also used the ironing board closet for spices. Put in shelving, added moulding to each shelf so it looked a little prettier and voila-spice rack that holds up to 50 spices! Also has the added ...
1st nest-I learned how to sew as a child as my mom had a machine but the majority of people who took sewing in high school (in the 90's) did not have access to a machine outside of school. So, you...
In general, I'd agree with the "get a refurbished machine" comments above BUT, just wanted to add that I got an entry level Singer a year ago and haven't had a single problem. I have sewed canvas ...
Re: sizes. Actually, it's worked fantastic even though we're not all CURRENTLY the same size. Why? Because we all have guilty pieces that are either too big or too small and we're waiting until ...

I keep a perpetual list and then before I head out, write a geographical one. This way, I can incorporate any items I need for my menu for the next week as well as anything I have coupons for.
Where to begin?
I'll just give you the worst-the bounced cheques and "borrowing" my underwear and swimwear. Like I wanted to wear it again!

Oddly enough, we just had this happen for the first ime in Vancouver this winter. We finally had enogh snow to justify it (2 ft in a few days)

I save mine for baking as well. Works great!
Vancouver has the same program. We got ours a little over a year ago and it's amazing how quickly stuff just sitting there decomposes.

ditto everyone else for hating the UHT milk. I've recently switched from skim dairy milk to almond milk (and occasionally soy milk) and love it.

I was also going to suggest it with cheese. I love it with Brie or Camembert, with a walnut on top them some honey drizzled on that. Yum!
