Freeze "older" Yogurt for Smoothies or Frozen Yogurt Pops

When we have Yogurt that is "older"- about the expire--- I empty the Yogurt Cups into Plastic Storage Baggies to Freeze to use later in Smoothies.

Mix flavors that go together well

• Peach, BlueBerry
• Strawberry, Peach
• Cranberry, Blackberry

*Frozen Yogurt Pops--  put yogurt in IceCube Trays w/ Plastic Wrap over- stick a Toothpick or Wooden Stick in each

Consignment Shopping for Clothes!!

I am a big supporter of shopping at Consignment Stores!!!

My favorite Consignment Store to shop at for clothes is Salvation Army.

I appreciate Salvation Army for pricing clothes for the quality

•  prices for shirts range from  $.50 - $2.00

-some consignment stores price all clothes the same $ - regardless of quality- NOT cool!

I have been able to find many clothes (shirts and pants) for my entire family in one trip - a HUGE bag - 40 items for $40.00- AMAZING!!!  and very nice clothes- almost new!!

Our local Salvation Army has 50% off every Wednesday-- love it!!

Save Kids Cups from Restaurants

We save all Kids Cups we get from eating at Restaurants

**Cups w/ Lids**

These are all we use at home- the cups have lids and they are free!!

I purchase Straws at Target -which fit in our Diner style Straw Dispenser, so we always have Straws on hand to use for these Cups w/ Lids

We have 2 kids, so we use a Sharpie to write initials on the lids. Works perfectly!!
(the initials eventually wear off w/ washing, but can be easily wrote back on)

Mini Muffins to School for Birthday/Holiday Treats

I have learned that teachers are not so hip on cupcakes being sent to school for Birthday or Holiday treats- due to the mess that can be made

So I thought that Mini Muffins would be a perfect alternative to cupcakes....they hold together better than cupcakes and can be eaten in one bite---less mess!!!!

• Muffin Mix- Chocolate Chip, Blueberry, Berry
• Cake Mix- Chocolate, White, Funfetti, Strawberry, Cherry Chip

Add Chocolate Chips for a little extra
-avoid icing for less mess

Drinking Straws

My favorite Drinking Straws are from Target.

They are the perfect size to fit in our Diner style Straw Dispenser and they are a great price!!
