MWH You can try cut costs by using canned evaporated milk in place of cream in soup. When I run out I use it in place of 1/2 and 1/2. Worth a try.
Yes I have Pete, thanks. I grew up having evaporated milk in my tea and now coffee. We have a source for heavy cream, 7.00 for a half gallon. When I buy one I fill up tiny water bottles and freeze them and use up the rest. Nothing beats heavy cream in some cases, especially sauces.
