my recipe is similar - Cheap Vodka, add a few ice cubes and twist of lemon, drink until you don't care whether the bathroom and kitchen are clean..... :wink:

I asked my Hubby to read "LuvtooQuilt" post He thought I was just a Hoarder!! But I too use everything and anything that has a good use left in them! Don't forget the 1/2 gal milk jugs, fill with water/freeze, don't buy ice for large gathers/coolers tinker

Use plastic milk containers partially filled with water to fill in the open spaces in the freezer you have just defrosted and wiped clean. It takes less energy to keep a full freezer cold than trying to cool large spaces of air each time the door is opened.
I remove the bottles as necessary as I load up the freezer. A couple of 1/2 gallon containers are marked for use in a picnic cooler as safe for drinking water when thawed.

Making your own ice cream is probably about the same price per gallon as commercial but I think it is more nutritious. I put 6 eggs per gallon in my recipe plus fresh fruit if I want, etc. No chemicals. Lots of food made at home from scratch aren't a lot cheaper but are healthier so they are money savers in that aspect.
