Hello,

Could you get family to send you kool-aid packets, and ranch dressing packets, that you can add the mayo and milk to? I live in germany, on a military base and I have access to these things. If you would like anything please let me know. I would be more than happy to send them to you. God bless. You have such a wonderful family.

Hello Shannon,
It's great to know you look at my blog. I've been wondering who was looking at it from "APO Armed Forces, Europe". Now I know! ---Yes we could ask anyone back home to mail us those things. I brought a little kool-aid and 2 pkts of Ranch mix with me, so I don't need them now, but in the future I will. Thanks for your comment.

Hey Nina,
I can so relate to all your posts and this one too.
I remember before clothes hangers went down, they were 5 for 7 dollars, I was like, "I don't think so!" Luckily they have gone down here now.
Most of the other things are similar to here but they do have sour cream but no ranch or anything like that.

Your gonna save money on fruits alone and it sounds like produce is pretty cheap there.

Happy bargin hunting!!!

Hey Nina,
Looks like some of us homefokes are going to have to step-up and send you guys some condiments, like peanut butter.

Hey, tell me what you miss the most, except sour cream (it wouldn't taste all that good once it finally got there) and I'll send you some goodies. Is there plenty of chocolate over there? You are a woman and The Lord knows we like it. Just let me know and I'll get it shipped for ya! Love you, Danielle
