wrapping cookies cheap.

Are they being mailed?? If so, wrap them in plastic wrap and then foil and put them in Pringle's Potato Chip tins. This works great for care packages going to Iraq.

The Mirage in my paper is CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP

wrapping paper tubes
I like your daughter's idea.... Call all your friends and ask how many rolls of holiday wrapping paper they've got  stashed in a corner of a closet...slide the paper off and you can cut about 4-5 usable tubes outta each one.   Depending on the school colors, you may be able to use some of the paper as the outside wrapping.   What about reynolds wrap tubes?      
oh, i didn't think of wrapping paper tubes! sm
thank you! she wanted to put the candy in the rolls so that it kinda resembled spirit sticks. i have to go to hobby lobby anyway because this is homecoming week and have to go buy mum making supplies and all that goes along with it, lol, so i will look and see if i can't buy some rolls of wrapping paper in our school colors and serve both purposes. thank you so much for that suggestion. that will add to it somewhat.
Gift Bags or Wrapping Paper?
I love the Christmas gift bags you can buy at the various dollar stores. SO much easier than boxes and wrapping. They are pretty and very inexpensive. I have seen similar bags at Target for much more. I LOVE cheching out the different Dollar stores. I like Big Lots too. Great deals. Tissue paper and gift bags for me. How about you?
od'd on cookies
My uncle makes Kiflis, Hungarian powdered sugar nut cookies, and I ate about 2 dozen within the past week...I only get them once a year, though. Told MD we can't check the cholesterol until Feb. now!!!

I would make sugar cookies with Christmas cut outs and the kids would put frosting and spinkles on them. They really loved it.
Now he wants to do N-shaped cookies nm

Sugar Cookies

Is anyone out there a good baker?  Looking for a good recipe for the B I G sugar cookies, not those small ones you can buy, slice and bake at the store.   I think some also call them sour cream cookies . . . not sure.  They are about 3 inches round and maybe 1/2 inch high.  You can top them with icing or sprinkles or colored sugars.  Thanks in advance.


Sugar cookies
Thank you! I will try this very soon. Sounds Yummy!!!!

Doesn't that just frost your cookies?
Frosted mine, anyway.

Every feasible thing except a volcano raining lava down on my house has happened this month to suck every spare penny out of me, and I'm not counting CHRISTMAS (THERE! I said the evil word!) expenses. I just get in from snow shoveling for the gazillionth time and finally got a chance to open the mail. After the electric bill darn near killed me, I open a bill from the prodigal son's university. Son goes to state univ., but not in our state. Here's the cost for 2007/2008:

Out-of-State Tuition: $21,770/year
Mandatory Fees: $2,260/year
Room and Board: $6,204/year
TOTAL: $30,234/year

Books, meal plans, health insurance, etc. not included. He gets lots of financial aid, though.

The bill for spring semester was due a couple of weeks ago and has been paid. I just received another bill, as I do every semester right after tuition is paid, for the following:

Course Fee #1: $15.00
Course Fee #2: $10.00
Photocopying Fee: $15.00

Course fee? Wouldn't you think that $21,700 for tuition ought to cover that? Photocopying fee?? I can buy a whole package of paper at Staples for $7.00. How much paper/ink/electricity does it take to make a photocopy? $15 worth? Over 14,000 students are enrolled there. That's $210,000 charged for photocopying fees/semester, $420,000/year.

How does one get into the photocopying business?


Girl Scout cookies are here!

I love Girl Scout cookies!


They are $4 a box this year.  I always tell the little girls they were 50 cents a box when I sold them and they look at me like, okay, old lady, just buy the cookies. 


Girl Scout Cookies
My daughter is a Girl Scout so we bought quite a few boxes. I love the thin mint and could probably eat a whole box myself in one day. They're $3.50 here, but every year I swear the cookies get smaller and smaller.
sneakers. Cookies or cake?

Chocolate chip cookies! Who needs anything else? -nm

Ha, I'm cheap too
That's why I said I really can't afford to buy anything!
No, you are not cheap.
I personally find those tip jars tacky. When I worked in the food industry, we were strictly forbidden to accept tips at the counter and if the customers insisted, we were supposed to turn it in to the manager, although the managers were usually cool and let us keep it.


Nutmeg muffins, cookies, cake

cookies, home made pizza..sm

Go to the www.pamperedchef.com web site and find your stone under products. They will give recipes. 


Is the flat stone?  Cookies come out beautiful, Frozen french fries or tater tots, make your own pizza using frozen bread dough.. there are more options if you have the stone with the sides.


peanut butter kiss cookies
I sent you an e-mail.  Sorry mine didn't go through:( Good luck and have fun!!
Not cheap I guess, but
being into gardening I was wondering if they would like to fill containers with a little container garden of coleus varieties or other small, less expensive annuals. They could keep them or give them to their moms for Mother's Day. Just a thought. Maybe they could paint the outsides of the pots.
cheap eats
There are plenty of cheap eats in the city once you learn your way around. For example, the fruit in Chinatown is fantastic, and a whole lot cheaper than what I pay in my town. But my very, very, very favorite is a Middle Eastern pushcart on 6th and 56th(?) outside the Hilton. They sell a chicken and rice dish for $4 that is amazing. It is a huge amount of food,and I usually split with my daughter. Throw a couple of drinks in and we have spent $6 for a yummy lunch for two.

It is not unsanitary like you might think. They have been there for years and are extremely popular. Last time we went to NYC, we stayed in Brooklyn and made a special trip to the pushcart. They are there during the week for lunch only.
yeah ours did too but they are the cheap
they don't last long.
cheap beauty
Benzoyl peroxide at night (zit cream) Aveeno 70 SPF face sunscreen during the day. The sunscreen has some type of silicone in it with lots of vitamins and some zinc for a shimmering effect. The benzyol peroxide cream sloughs off the dead skin cells, but it stains bed sheets and clothes, so get out your white pillow cases. The sunscreen is about $10 for a large tube.
Pack the cookies in more than 1 reusable container with lots of wax

Click on the kitchen, Claus' cookbook, then cookies.

How to find Girl Scout cookies where you live

http://www.girlscoutcookies.org/


The above link will locate you nearest GS Council.  If you call them you can either order your cookies directly from here or contact your local council.


Good Luck and Happy Cookie eating.


 


Bologna sandwich with chocolate chip cookies. ew sm
and of course can't forget my daughter eating green beans with ketchup (they are like French fries mom!)
Their scoops are GREAT. I have perfectly shaped cookies all the time now. (sm)
I have had this scoop about 8 years now and wouldn't give it up for the world.

Also have a stone I use quite a lot. Great to get that crispiness on something without having to fry it in grease.

Their stuff is a little high dollar, but the quality is great and if you have a party yourself you can get quite a bit of stuff for yourself.

At least go and enjoy. I love Pampered Chef parties.

Speaking of cookies, do you exchange with neighbors, bake only for family, or

My all time fave.....chocolate and peanutbutter no bake cookies. To die for!!!! nm

is this *selective remembering* or is she CHEAP?

Salonpas is cheap - cheaper still at Sam's
I think you can buy a huge box for under $10. They are good on sprained wrists, too, my daughter gets those after doing carpentry around the house (talented girl) and we put them on and they work great. I use the slightly larger ones on my chronic low back pain and while they don't last for hours, they give pretty good relief of moderate to low pain and last about an hour. And they really are inexpensive. I learned about them in a Chronic Pain Class I was taking at my HMO, thought what can I lose, and found they work well for me.

cheap and easy meals?
What are your favorite quick and cheap family meals?  I have to bring my grocery budget down.  I need some ideas for meals that can be made for about $10.  My family is getting tired of spaghetti, chili, pork barbecue sandwiches and sloppy joes.  What do YOU whip together on the cheap?  I'm all ears.
casserole - easy and cheap
Chicken casserole

3-4 boneless chicken breasts
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 C shredded swiss cheese or mozzarella
1 1/2 C stuffing (Stove Top in can)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 can of white wine or chicken broth
1 stick butter

Cut up boneless chicken in bites. layer in 9 x 13 pan. top with sliced mushrooms, then shredded swiss cheese. mix together soup and wine/broth and pour over top.
sprinkle stuffing over everything. pour melted butter over and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes
whoa!! That was a cheap shot LOL, but I'd rather have a

Cheap squirrel deterrent
To keep squirrels from climbing up the pole to get to your feeder, you can attach a simple slinky to the bottom of the feeder, encircling the pole. The squirrel jumps up, grabs the slinky, and gets lowered to the ground. They can't figure it out. Supposedly it works and keeps on working for years! Fun to watch, too. It would also disturb the birds less than a feeder that spins to detach squirrels, LOL.
It's still pretty cheap compared to other sm
countries! Look at the price of diesel and fuel - that impacts the USPS as much as it does all of us.

It's only a penny.
now's the time to invest -- buy cheap
and ride it out.  Why are you asking, did you win a big one?
Can You Wear Cheap Clothes?

and they look good on you?


I was just thinking about my deceased mother and she sometimes would say about someone "I wish I could wear cheap clothes like her!"
Ironically - one of the best fitting/looking blazers my mom ever bought was from Walmat and was on a clearance rack for $7.99. (orig price wasn't all that much higher)


It sounds like a catty insult/put down, but my sister says it too about her friend, and it's not said with any kind of malice - she just wishes she could buy cheaper clothing that fits well and looks good too and save the money.


I hope I can wear some cheap because
just bought 2 tops at Kohls this morning on sale, about $8 each. Everything was on sale, 50, 60 and 70% off. I love Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, they fit so good but they have changed the texture of the pants and this morning I looked but bought another brand with the kind of material I love, spandex and real light weight material, capris for later in summer. Bought a pair of sunglasses and lost already.
Any ideas on how to attractively wrap a dozen cookies and/or brownies cheaply?

I have a large quantity of these to do and could use any tips and advice.  Thanks. 


A cheap place on a golf course, that is a surprise - sm
Personally since there is 8 of you expense is not really an issue if you are dividing the cost up between everyone. I'd go for comfort if expense is not an issue. The guys can drive to a golf course if they want to play. Another thing to do is either make a list of pros and cons OR call everyone involved and get them to vote; that way you can say you did a vote and X one; so if they complain they hate it they won't have you to blame, someone has always got to complain about something it seems. Have fun whichever way you decide.
HAHA! See, would never work with us. We are both cheap leaders sm
I don't like him telling me what to do and he hates taking instruction from me, so we sit here in a 25 year old home with nothing getting done because we're too cheap to hire and too stubborn to work together!!!!
Good, cheap spell checkers? (sm)

Does anyone know a good medical spellchecker that is fairly cheap?  My c drive crashed today - just got it fixed - and I cannot find my Stedman's CD anywhere.  I need to work tomorrow so I want to get something on here quick. There are lots of others out there but I don't know anything about them.  I had downloaded one at one point that would automatically correct my words when my spelling was very close.  Would love to find that one again but don't remember what it was.  


 


 


tell hubby there are lots of cheap motels

Florida poster here.....lots of cheap Kissimmee hotels/motels - sleeps 4-6....$39-$49/nightly or cheaper if you do like 3 to 4 days....


Calling coworker/buddy you haven't seen in a decade just to ask if one can stay there w/family is NOT a good idea......


olds saying - guests, like garbage, get old in 3 days........tell your husband to FORK OVER THE $$....he can afford Disney Parks?  He can afford a $50/night room for his FAMILY....HIS family.....


Just my *take*......no flames please


I get my professional strength ones on ebay for really cheap
They are less than $5 and are the same exact stuff they use in the dentist office. I have been using them for years and everyone tells me that I have the nicest teeth.
