  1. Hi I love this blog it makes me think what I can do different but I have a question what do you guys drink? All I every see is milk on your shopping list is that and water all you drink?

    1. Yes, we mostly drink water and milk. We don't drink coffee, alcohol or non-herbal teas (even then, I only use it for medicinal purposes). Other than that, we do get juice regularly as the budget permits and will either make or buy hot chocolate and lemonade during the appropriate seasons. As far as soda goes, we do buy it sometimes, but it's usually purchased as a special treat
