I get together with three to four friends every month and we cook 5 freezer meals together. In advance to our cooking night one of us buys all our ingredients at Aldi's, Sam's Club, etc., and then we split the bill. When it comes time to package our food food for the freezer, we each split a recipe into two bags, since none of us have kids old enough to eat as much as an adult. Last month we made 5 recipes, split into 10 nights worth of dinner, for $28 each. In addition, we had a great time socializing while we cooked together!

I've gotten some fantastic deals on clothes for my 6 year old son and have found the quality to be very good. One of my favorites is the Silent But Deadly skunk print shirt that I learned about here. :-) I love Crazy8.
