Totally try it. It will literally change your life. It has started me into using food preservation recipes as well. It has a multitude of uses.

Thanks so much for your old post and your recent one. I am starting this step now. I actually made the same salad for all 5 days. But your idea is far smarter. Anyway...I'm so happy with it because aside from the obvious cost factor, there is the dietary benefit and I have found I have a lot of space in my fridge. I bought enough produce that I have enough food for even next week. Thanks a lot.

Great information. I enjoyed the very useful detail that I can apply to my own budget. You really should be paid for doing things like this!

Hi Rich! Isn't this type of stuff fun! Matt and I have tuned in more to this stuff too and it is fun seeing what you can save. Our goal is financial freedom by 45 so this has become a game! Being vegan endurance athletes we were spending the most on food too so instead of using credit for any food/beverage consumption, we moved to a cash kitty of $600/mo and use that so we can see what we are spending. If we travel or have guests in town we usually go over the $600/mo. but generally is a good gauge so it doesn't get into the $1,000/mo range (easy to do when you hit Jimbos or WFS deli a couple times a week!). We haven't had cable for 16 years but that is not for everyone ($100/mox12x16=$19,200 savings.) We also went to a one car/one motorcycle and bike commute family several years ago so save on gas and insurance (http://mps75.net/wordpress/.... We just took the plunge and cut out a housekeeper which is a good savings plus it helps keep one in tuned with stuff that needs to be done around the house for overall up keep. A guy Matt likes to follow is http://www.mrmoneymustache..... Pretty extreme but we are going down the minimalist path so interesting to see what he has to say. Happy savings in 2014!

I've always seen the mason jar idea on pinterest but hadn't tried it out. Thanks for the info.

Found this while looking for more jar salad ideas. I've been doing them almost daily for a year now, and in your first post you said arugula and mixed greens were a no go - but that's the only thing I've ever used and they hold up great! I do cucumber or tomato in my dressing and then the last thing before my lettuce is a layer of shredded carrots. I've never had lettuce issues!

Same thing happen to me but mine is just coincidence. I used to have Lipoma on my wrist. The size is around 1 cm in diameter and the shape is round. It has been there for five year i guess.

I have change my diet, for the purpose of losing weight, by replacing all the snack with carrot and ended up eating around 200-500 gram carrot a day and no snack at all, some time I had the 100% fresh carrot juice.

After a month, the Lipoma is gone. (Actually, i'm not sure when it was gone since I didn't pay a lot of attention to it). After a search, I found that it is not disappear but shrunk to a size that you have to push a little to find it.

-----------------------------------------------

After internet search, I found that there no connection between losing weight and Lipoma smaller but I found this post so I decided to tell my story. At time the Lipoma is smaller, my weight is still the same.

This makes sense. My first lipomas came after my first child. There were 3 or 4 in my thighs and I had them removed. After my second child, I got about 100. I have had many removed and have recently discovered that a steroid shot will dry them up. After reading this info, the plant estrogen theory makes sense. I am also dabbling in chickweed capsules. I just recently began to use estradiol cream and got about 50 around the tops of my thighs. I really appreciate this info. Any more knowledge to pass on? Anything is worth trying.

I've had that happen with Amazon as well. So I was curious what they would do here. Unfortunately, they followed a "boring corporate America" response.

Happened to my friend. Sent him a lens, then sent him another lens. The lens was valued at around $700. He reported to Amazon and they said sorry, don't worry about it.

Happened to me when I ordered two air mattresses that were defective. The return/exchange got messed up and to apologize, they gave me a $50 Amazon card for my troubles.

Thanks for the comment! It's funny how easy it is for brands to have some personality - and they just miss it. Generally due to offshoring or using a customer service center detached from the main brand (which I suspect is the case here.)

(Sorry I didn't reply earlier - I didn't get notification that a comment was posted and I was neglecting my blog again!)

Rich,

I love the post. Recently, I had a similar experience with Amazon. I to was hoping for a more playful response than the usual company outlined email. I hope that they see this! I will share with my friend at amazon.

Regards,

Rand

Great posts! I'd try hard-boiled eggs as a protein option.

Hi, So all your lipomas are gone ? they have shrunk to nothing ?

Re: Demystifying (My) Lipomas

AnnaB — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:17:47 -0000

Hi. I am wondering what kind of doctor you went to for this diagnosis. I have lipomas that developed during pregnancy that I think are estrogen related, but I have not seen a doctor who can confirm/help me with this idea. Your post is very interesting. Thanks, anna
