These Are a Few of My Favorite Budget Items
Hey, y’all.
Welcome back to my blog. For those who are new, I’m happy to have you! Today’s blog post is about a few favorite things that I’ve enjoyed snacking on recently.
If you’re a follower of my tik tok page, also under TheWomynWhoWrites, you’ll see that I created a few budget breakfast videos for like-minded individuals like myself.
I’ve managed to grab some great budget buys lately and I’ll be sharing with you a few of my favorites.
First off, I have to recommend Celestial Seasonings’ Honey Vanilla Chamomile, herbal, caffeine-free tea. It is oh so good, especially paired with 100% pure wildflower honey (Gunter’s). I’ve been drinking tea avidly and have tried a few of them but this one takes the cake. Chamomile is associated with a lot of health benefits such as wound healing, improved sleep, and improved gastrointestinal health (WebMd, n.d.). This tea is very soothing and calming and always manages to improve my moods. Sure to please. Give it a try if you find it. I got it on my Shoprite run for around four dollars.
Next on the list is Betty Crocker’s Mug Treats. Mug treats are new to me. With easy-to-follow instructions, Betty Crocker’s Mug Treats makes cake baking a breeze. Simply pour the cake mix into a microwave-safe mug, add water or milk, stir, and microwave. I end up with a delightful mugful of sugary goodness. The box comes with frosting (take it or leave it) but the treat is definitely good without it for those minding their waists (like myself). I’d recommend it.
I’ve also been frequenting my local dollar tree. Two dollar tree buys I’ve snagged lately are Betty Crocker’s Suddenly Pasta Salad (Classic) and Edward’s Chocolate Creme Pie. The sudden pasta salad, classic version, is so good and easy to make. The seasoning mix is very yummy. I add a few more ingredients, but this pasta salad has saved me on so many occasions when I’m in a bind. Between caretaking, working, and creating content for fans and followers, I need something on hand and easy to make. Last but not least is Edward’s Chocolate Creme Pie. Dollar tree sells single slices in the frozen section. Light and fluffy, this cake is so good with only a few calories to boot! It is a great welcome home after a long day. I grabbed a whole pie for about seven bucks at Target the other day! So worth it! I’m saving it for a special occasion. :-)
There you have it, folks. Keep your eye open for these great buys next time you’re shopping or browsing instacart.
Thanks again,

P.S.: I managed to snag a box of four mug treats at Target for 2.99. So yummy. I’ve tried both the rainbow cake and soft-baked chocolate chip cookie dough. The chocolate chip cookie dough is phenomenal. Can’t wait for y’all to try it.
P.S.S: I’ve also dug into the pie! Couldn’t resist. ;-)
