I find...frozen cheese...fine...
no you can't slice it...
but I would freeze in small blocks..
then...run a knife down it breaks apart,,in large grates...absolutely perfect for taco's.... salads..ect...
and way less hastle than grating...

Switched car insurance companies today. We should have done this a LONG time ago! Added renter's insurance to our policy and are STILL saving $65.00 per month! :woot
Of course, the fact that we now have to pay a power bill that we haven't had to pay before will probably negate that savings. But at least we have a little extra free cash to handle the increased expense... :/

I stayed home today. That was my saving money. No burned gas and no spending. Oops, I remembered as I typed that I bought a <$10 cd online. Oh well. I did stay home though.

I hung out laundry today. It saves 65 cents per load on average x 3 loads...I aint getting rich, but I aint going broke over some laundry either :p

Yesterday I called our cell provider and knocked down our monthly payment by $26 :D I am thinking of switching internet service providers to dial up from satellite too. I know it'll be slower, but...saving $35 bucks a month I think I can deal with it.

WBF, remember your amount of time spent in front of the computer waiting has worth also! With your life, I don't know that you could afford that extra time!:D

I'm sowing more veggie and herb seeds so I won't have to buy plants this year. :D

Edited to add that I've also got two, half gallons on citrus vinegar steeping...one for cleaning and one for a hair rinse.
