I almost forgot!

Forgot to add -- I make my own baby food. This is probably the simplest way to save money and go green with an older baby. All you need is a blender. (Mine is 30 years old, but it still works great.) Sometimes I set aside a couple spoonfuls of whatever veggies we're eating that night to puree; other times I buy local produce in bulk and freeze individual portions in ice cube trays. No washing and recycling those little jars, I can feed my kids for pennies on the dollar (compared even to store-brand jarred foods), I can shop fruit stands and local produce, and -- best of all -- I know exactly what goes in my kids' food at all times.
