[QUOTE="klmno, post: 376699, member: 3699"] Thanks, MM- but since difficult child isn't here, I'm only buying the $2 packs of frozen single serving pizza. We did start making it at home when he was here and we liked that idea, too because we got toppings exactly the way each of us liked them. We didn't try making our own dough but I'll keep that in mind and might ask about it in the future. I bet it is VERY tastey! As far as chips- they last me a pretty long time as compared to most and I buy a regional brand that runs half the cost of the bigger name brands and I actually think they taste better. OMG, Susie, don't get me started on the price of make-up! As a working mom considered a professional who had to meet clients and local professionals often, I wore make-up daily to work for many years. However, I have never been one to go to the extreme of not even walking out the door to get gas without makeup on. Whether that's due to my generation of "bra-burners", my mother's fanatical focus on appearance, or being in the military, I don't know. I do wear a bra (LOL!) but don't put on make-up unless it was a situation like going out with friends or a date (in the younger years), going to work, dr, difficult child's court, etc. Other than that- no way. I am not putting it on to go to Wally World - I don't care how people want to laugh at shoppers there. And now that a small bottle of foundation alone costs $8-10, I use even less. I figure at my age, I can't look like I have the face of a 20-30 some yo no matter what I do and people do realize that I am not going to look like that at my age. So I put on just enough to make it look like I have put a little on- foundation is spread thin, a little eye shadow and rouge, and a little powder. That's it- and I doubt it's going to change unless I somehow do end up working in a professional setting again and need to look better but can afford to do so.
