My 11 year old refuses to eat melted cheese now. She will only eat it cold.

Been there, done that. Bread and cheese was all she would eat at 4. God forbid if you accidentally called it a cheese sandwich. Yes, exact same thing, but apparently, the wording made it gross. And grilled? No way. At the tender age of 13, she decided it was ok. And, it is not fun to be the mom of the only kid in the US who would not eat mac and cheese.

Ah ha! That's how you guys do it

Rats! Secret is out. But the sentiment remains.

Let's see last weekend my shopping list started with 15 heads of lettuce, 3 heads celery, 5 cucumbers, 10 pounds of carrots, spring mix, 10 pounds of frozen spinach, 2 bags of onions, 10 pounds of rice, 3 bags of quinoa, 2 chickens, 3 dozen eggs, 4 boxes of grape tomatoes, 8 pounds of dry beans, a bag of apples, 2 loaves of bread, 2 bags of bagels, etc...….........…... Would you like to hear the full list?

Shocking what you feed the family -- where's the Hershey bars and Snickers, for heaven's sake??!!

Hopefully they don’t get rid of cash.

Amen to that!! It's so easy to just tap a phone on a pad to pay, or pull out a debit or credit card. When I carry cash, I think about something I want to buy, and often put it back. Something about paying in cash that gives it a whole new perspective (for me, anyway).

Let's see since Saturday I've made corned beef with potatoes, carrots, cabbage and soda bread, beans and greens with tomatoes(every week a big pot with different spices), 2lbs pasta with tomatoes and tuna, 6qts braised tofu and mushrooms in veggie stock, rice and beans with veggies, an eggs and greens fritta, enough salad for a small army and a rice cooker full of quinoa. I'd better not have to cook until Friday. I know I will but................................ aren't you glad you asked?

I made instant potatoes tonight.

Melted cheese tastes and feels WAY different. I won't eat cheese unless it's melted, so I totally get her.

That puts you in the same category as @JenniferS who will not eat a tomato yet loves everything that is made from Tomatoes. I guess it is not for us to understand.

Stock up on Disney gift cards from Target. At least you can save 5% on them.

Is that true for all customers, or just those who have a Target credit card?

 

[Goofyernmost]

and then companies charge $5 for paying online

I've never run into that except with my landlord (corporate), but, they do give me an alternative. I do know that if any other company that I do things were to charge for that, they will no longer be someplace that I do business with.

@SteveBrickNJ , how was your birthday today? Fun, I hope!

Mine used to eat pizza. Now she peels cheese off pizza.

Yes! I totally spend less when I use cash. You actually pay attention to the value of money when you see it.

Only if you use your Target debit or credit card.

@SteveBrickNJ , how was your birthday today? Fun, I hope!

It is nice when family and friends show they care. Only one student asked me how old I am! Not bad....good self control kids
