Brag About Your Savings
I never know what I am going to find at Dollar Tree. The other day, I limited myself to spend $5.00. I was walking down the water aisle and browsed at the water enhancer. All of the water enhancers were the same as always mostly. No variety. Then I saw Sonic Cherry Limeade Singles on the Go. There are 6 packets per box. I…

I gave her the options of either potato soup or black beans with rice soup. She said no to both. What am I supposed to feed her? She always wants baked potatoes, so…

No-Bake Desserts
I have no chocolate chips and wanted something peanutty. Which means I cannot prepare buckeyes. I am into no-bakes. No stress. No need for an oven. A generous person gave me a bag of dry milk a month or two ago. I could never figure out how to use the dry milk. I have a jar or two of peanut butter. I have a small bottle of…
