I've been eating those individual cups of oatmeal and paying out the nose for them so I decided to figure out how to save money while still having one for breakfast.
Dollar tree paper party cups 9oz and then brown sugar oatmeal packets from Walmart. Water in the cup up to my second knuckle=1/2 cup + 1 packet of oatmeal, cook for 1 minute and perfect oatmeal. If you don't want it so thick add a little more water but I like mine thick.
So I Spent $.08 for the cup, $0.25 for oatmeal and $0.06 for water=$0.39 compared to $1.48 name brand or $0.84 great value brand.
anyhoo what I ate today
1 packet of Great Value Instant Oatmeal, Salted Caramel (was very good. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to let the caramel melt.
5 cups? maybe if that of mac and cheese dinner (with the liquid cheese not powder) and a little bit of hamburger.
I only drink water or eat ice so there are no beverage counts.
Phoenix went to church with her boyfriend whose parents do not know that she's his girlfriend. Then went and spent time with him at his house afterward.
Lily and Del went to the park alone and Chris about flipped out when he drove by and didn't see them. It was his own fault because he didn't listen to Lily. She told him they were going to the other park not the one around the corner.
He's very overprotective where I am not. Lily is 14 and Del is 8. I wouldn't let Del go by herself but as long as Lily is with her I'm good.
