    Last week, diet Coke and diet Dr. Pepper were on sale. 3 12 pack each brand was $13.00. I bought cans instead of bottles to get more quantity.

    I own a one cup coffee maker. You can use either k-cups or coffee grounds. I use coffee grounds instead of fancy k-cups which saves me tons of money. I even buy my coffee grounds from dollar tree which saves me even more money!

    Last week, while at the grocery store, I found 1/2 gallon Igloo coolers for $6.99. A convenient mouth piece and handy handle. The water stays cool all day! I use the cooler for sugar free lemonade. A total bargain!

    I had $5.00 to spend. My latest choice of drink is an Arnold Palmer. So, my local grocery store has lemonade packets @ 10 packets for $1.00. I bought 50 packets for a total of $5.00.

    I already have 2 boxes of tea bags.

    So, I am set!

    If you do not know what an Arnold Palmer is, the drink is a mocktail consisting of half lemonade and half iced tea.

    Today, a friend gave we 3 roommates 3 garbage bags worth of treats! We divided. I had some UTZ kettle-cooked sweet potato chips. They were not too bad. I had to acquire a taste.

    Our friend is so good to we gals. She told me that her husband gets the treats from work.

    I like to have a treat with a sandwich or as a mini-meal to hold me over until my next meal.

    This morning I went shopping for scrubs for work. I spent $70 and got 4 shirts and 5 pairs of pants. At Walmart they cost about $50 each item.

    What are freegies?

    We buy box-filled burgers for the freezer. We save alot of money instead of buying a pound of ground beef. All I have to do is grab a burger, and place in the air fryer for 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

    Freggies stands for fruits and veggies
