Back To School with Calcium! Win $25 Price Cutter GC.


Hey everybody, it's been a few weeks since The Queen has sat on her throne. I've been busy getting the kids ready to go back to school. School is a little late starting in our town, not until next Tuesday. But we've been looking for the best ways to save money on those school lunches and I honestly believe the absolute best way is for me to pack them up everyday. That way I know what they're eating and where it all comes from. The one thing I will give them money to buy at school is that fun little serving size carton of milk.
Luckily my girls love to drink milk with every meal. That may be why my 7 year old twin daughters are both 50 inches tall. Milk is one of the most economical sources of high-quality protein and calcium. Protein and calcium are important for the growth and development of bones and teeth. Buying calcium fortified beverages, such as orange juice and soy drinks is just not good enough. It is actually harder for the body to absorb, and milk is about 30 percent less expensive than fortified orange juice.
Yogurt and string cheese everyday can get a little boring, here's a link from www.dairymakessense.com with some creative ways to mix it up.

EMAIL ME at julieccarroll@prodigy.net TO WIN A $25 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO PRICE CUTTER and SHOPPING BAGS PACKED WITH MDA GOODIES to stock up on milk, cheese and yogurt.
