I hate it so much. But also hate how much they have jacked prices up on things. So I've been making my own Cereal for the most part lately. I plan on learning how to make my own Snacks and possibly more over time. And yeah at times I've made Soup. Which because I make a huge batch when I do about half is put away into the Freezer. Also it amazes me how much you can store in the Freezer for future use. Like Pesto. Pesto in the Fridge will go bad after about 2 Weeks. But in the Freezer it could last about 6 Months. Just have to thaw it out. Also I plan on investing into Reusable Paper Towels and more one Day. Just don't have the funds too currently. But yeah it can save you alot of money in the long run. There is many things we can do that would do this. And it can be Environmentally Friendly. Or at least Friendier than some things. (Is that word?) And yeah I do hope things get better sometime. But I have my doubts.
