Shopko: Kid's Tough Promise

My son was a little sad this morning when I told him to change his pants for another pair. They had ratty ends and a huge hole in the knee. He told me not to worry about the knee since all the kids at school wore pants with holes in them. Normally I'd make him wear them until the end of the year (like all the other moms, apparently) but I bought the pants at Shopko so I returned them today and exchanged them for a new pair. All for zero dollars.

Anyway, if you've got children that wear out the knees I highly recommend buying pants from Shopko since their "Kid's Tough Promise" says they will replace any clothing item that wears out before your child outgrows it. I bought 2 pairs this year for $13 each. I've replaced them both once. Great deal for me.

Sears has a similar policy.

Meals- Spinach Salad

Here is a delicious Spinach Salad that I'm posting today for my SIL Julie. Her husband requested I give it to her :)

Big Bowl of Spinach (9 oz package)
1 small head of lettuce (if desired)
3/4 lb fresh mushrooms
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 c. grated swiss cheese
small purple onion, sliced thinly

Toss and chill, before serving add the dressing

Dressing:
3/4 c sugar
1 1/2 Tb green onion, chopped finely
1 1/2 Tb poppy seeds
1 c oil (not olive)
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp dry mustard
3/4 c Red Wine Vinegar

The dressing covers 2 large salad bowls, so I mix it up and use half. Add chicken breast to make it a tasty meal.

Case Lot Sale Prices

Powdered Milk

I have thought of doing a post like this, especially since we had the occasion to try out 4 different varieties of powdered milk at our home over the last few months. Here is a great review from the Utah Preppers blog, which saves me from writing a big post.

Of the 4 we tried recently (Albertsons brand, LDS cannery, Morning Moo, and Country Cream), I actually liked the Albertsons brand the best followed by Country Cream. I got a screaming deal on the Albertsons milk. It was a close out deal when the store was switching over. I wish I would have known how cheap it was at the time or I would have bought all that was available. Oh well. My kids don't care for the Morning Moo at all. Anyway, for what it's worth I will probably buy a couple of the Country Cream variety again for drinking milk (to use when I can't or shouldn't go to the store) but will stock up on cannery milk when I can for long term storage as it's the best price.
