I never thought about freezing the bananas for later!
We never frost our cakes either. If people want frosting they can drizzle a little generic chocolate sauce over it and add sprinkles from the dollar store. We do this with angel food cake, brownies, etc.
We are so on board with the water at mealtime and the weekly meatless meal. Out meatless meal usually is breakfast for dinner! I usually do this when hubby is working. The kids love having what they call "upside down" dinner. Eggs, pancakes, etc.

Thanks for this! We do nearly all of these things---it's essential with a big family. I buy skim milk, though. Cheaper than 2%.
Good tips! Thanks for the info. One suggestion though, my grandfather worked in a dairy plant for many many years and told me to buy whole milk, pour half into another gallon jug, then add water until its a little over 3/4 the way full, its the exact same as 2%. I have been doing this for years and cannot tell a difference between the two. Its an easy way to get more milk for the money.
Thanks for all the wonderful tips.
Would you consider sharing your hamburger helper recipe? It would sure be a help to me, and I am sure to many others.
