The Mathematics of Cheese


On a recent trip to the grocery store, I reached for a package of shredded cheese, but then I wondered, "Can I save money by shredding it myself?"

So I walked over to the bricks of cheese and noticed that yes, the price was better, so I loaded up because I had a lot of dishes that called for cheese on the menu for the next two weeks.

The last time I went to the grocery store, though, I noticed that I didn't look closely enough. Sure, the price for a brick of cheese is less than buying a bag of cheese that is already shredded, but the price per ounce is better when you buy the shredded stuff. I don't understand the hows and whys of that, but at least I know to look a little more closely when I'm shopping next time.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
