Week 31: School supplies

SCHOOL SUPPLIES Back to School Sales. Paper , pencils, journals, envelopes, postage stamps, etc. (Great Stocking Stuffers)


This is a great time of year to stock up on the school supplies.  There are several reasons why it's good to have these things in your food storage.  In times of a crisis you might need to depend on paper and pencil for leaving notes and/or in times when money is short you will be able to pull the school supplies out of your storage and have what your child needs for school.


I like to watch the sales ads this time of year.  There are a ton of places that have school supplies on sale.  Target is a great place.  Plus Office Depot will have great sales on all the supplies you will need.  


Here are a couple recipes I thought you might like to try!


We have had our son (Rhett) and his girl friend visiting us the last couple of days.  Emily made the most wonderful cupcakes while she was here!  I thought I would share the recipe!  Thanks Emily!!  We love you!!
