There are several recipes, but it essentially makes a pretty good pan type pizza without the rising time. Just knead and top and bake.<br /><br />Or make extras and freeze them. I used to try to do that but it never worked out so well. I think the problem is that pizza equals convenience in my mind.Hanley Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363108115499781703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542715593318774385.post-49842933368605125242010-02-01T16:54:54.112-08:002010-02-01T16:54:54.112-08:00Great list!

I'm bad about buying new, though, now that we're not as broke as we used to be. I buy used when I can (especially books), but I could certainly stand to improve!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729511504280715449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542715593318774385.post-70960265084871270942010-01-28T09:57:40.053-08:002010-01-28T09:57:40.053-08:00I found a good thrift store in Cornelia and the on...I found a good thrift store in Cornelia and the one for Circle of Hope is very good.

I purchase very little brand new, but when I do, I always search out deals. Coupons are wonderful! Learn to play the coupon game and maximize the sales at CVS & Walgreens. When I was at my peak at home (when we still had room) in one month I shaved enough of my grocery bill to buy a cheap brand new freezer and stock it to the brim. <br /><br />I buy all of our books at thrift stores, used book stores, and used to swap them through paperbackswap.com. Using the libray doesn't work for us. I buy much of our homeschool curriculum secondhand when I can. <br /><br />I also make our own laundry detergeant, but I use Fels naptha- doesn't matter which soap you use, just found this easily. Making the soap is so simple, I make it right in the camper and it lasts us forever! <br /><br />I also clean with vinegar and tea tree oil. And, no paper towels!Tonya @ The Traveling Pratershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460980967279853683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542715593318774385.post-65153794678512404122010-01-24T10:10:37.494-08:002010-01-24T10:10:37.494-08:00Those are great choices!

We use our cell phone for long distance. You can also sell any homeschooling books or curriculum that you're not using. Ebay is really easy for that. We have a local homeschool store that will pay 25% of retail. I usually go around April, before all the other moms start bringing their books in, otherwise the store gets too much of some things and won't take anymore. This is also how I buy alot of my books for the following year. I buy used from this same store.<br /><br />I also sell clothes to the consignment shop.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175369457303282525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542715593318774385.post-72388272676489314732010-01-24T05:59:03.687-08:002010-01-24T05:59:03.687-08:00Don't forget to recycle your organic waste for...Don't forget to recycle your organic waste for the chickens.
