to keep your foods cold,,

Freeze a couple of water bottle filled 3/4 full.
place newspapers on the bottom of your bag or double bag 2 plastic grocery bags and line the bottom with newspaper,
Place the frozen water bottles on the bottom and put your lunch on top with another layer of newspaper. It really works, I've done it, especially since I've had the boys and $$ was so tight. I haven't bought lunch for almost 18 months.
I averaged $5 a lunch for 5 days X 52 weeks I saved $2,080 in my first year by not buying lunch out. I Still don't go out and buy lunch,even tho I can afford to now, I don't. I eat healthier, I recycle, and have newspaper for compost, and save $$ , It's a Win, WIN!

Appleblossom you always was one to save on everything. Hows the boys coming along?
I am re registered.. Easier to get back on. I am the former Dodge , Now Barb, or Buscia or anyother nameLOL

Hi dodge. Good to see you but I haven't heard from or seen posts from Angleblossom in a very long time. Not sure if anyone else has contact with her. Those boys should be about grown by now. Hope they're doing fine.
