      That is really cool. I love how you provided a shopping list. I think that it would be a lot cheaper actually, like you wouldn’t use an entire jar of peanut butter, you’d have some left over. So, the total wouldn’t even be $60 and that is awesome!!! Thank you for linking up at Frugal Friday. 🙂
