I miss that! Our local church on base there also distributed the older near-death fruits and veggies for free.<br /><br />As for free summer activities we mostly play in the yard, go to the library, and hit up local playgrounds. We found kidsbowlfree.com too, but since you have to pay for shoe rental it's not free. It is cheap though!<br /><br />My kids also like to go to the pet store and look at the fish, birds, reptiles, etc. Juast as exciting for them as the zoo, but free.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797315968074920967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470119508695654999.post-37559026962229682742010-07-18T20:28:33.082-07:002010-07-18T20:28:33.082-07:00You KNOW I love this post!
First, holy smokes, th...You KNOW I love this post!<br /><br />First, holy smokes, that discount produce section is insane! I shop at many different grocery stores and have never even see a cheap section, let alone anything that looks like that. The only discounts I have ever seen is at one produce stand (we have these in Seattle, not necessarily local produce, but just produce) and it had a bin with like four things in it. Sigh.<br /><br />I love your suggestions for frozen. I have found I don't like the frozen broccoli as much as steaming fresh, but haven't tried other things. I do love raw veggies so it keeps me seeking out deals on certain things.<br /><br />BTW, I made your hummus yesterday, minus the seaweed and flax, and it was sooo yummy! It is the same ingredients as what I have made but I had the ratios all wrong. Yours was much better.<br /><br />I also bought a giant bag of potatoes yesterday and made mashed potatoes. You're inspiring me! lol<br /><br />As far as free/cheap in the summer, well, we're a little different in that my girls go to school year-round. When not in school we go to the park, the beach, the wading pool, ride bikes, but mostly, we play in the yard. The novelty of having our own yard is still very much alive!Sybil Runs Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010496611782268178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470119508695654999.post-91560131931225783742010-07-17T19:11:40.337-07:002010-07-17T19:11:40.337-07:00I am so incredibly jealous of that first pic! Our ...I am so incredibly jealous of that first pic! Our grocery has a section like that but it's teeeny tiny compared! I'm just glad it's summer and we have fabulous farmers markets right now! <br /><br />We decided on a family summer project of cleaning and organizing the house from top to bottom. It's going well and keeps us occupied on too hot and rainy days :D Other than that it's playing outside with friends and going to the library for us. <br /><br />Kidlet is also doing a couple of camp weeks that he got scholarships for, so those are free! I recommend to anyone with kids and a tight budget....school programs and community center programs....heck even the zoo, these places often have scholarships available for students but the key is you have to ask about them as they don't advertise it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171259231131467680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470119508695654999.post-46260207255543556312010-07-17T14:30:17.040-07:002010-07-17T14:30:17.040-07:00just going to the lake with our pets:) very free l...just going to the lake with our pets:) very free loldirtyduckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383110271569591721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470119508695654999.post-37246149349963531492010-07-17T13:58:28.330-07:002010-07-17T13:58:28.330-07:00You have readers, ha!

I really need to do a lot better about our food budget. Family activities...we like to go hiking at a nearby state park...but not in this heat!...we are actually on our way to the waterpark right now. We mostly have been doing the library activities. And playing with water at home. When I need a little break I send the kids over to help my dad in his garden.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320336368732794711noreply@blogger.com
