Free-Bee List

33 FREE ITEMS!   This month was a little slow for me, but every little bit helps.   I was able
to get a lot of Christmas presents and items that we needed for the house.   In addition, I
was able to donate many health and beauty items to a local organization that provides these
items free of charge to families in need.   

Never fear because we are still going strong and starting to develop a few goals for the
upcoming new year.    

As always I was able to gather these items through the use of Kroger Customer incentives,
Giant Eagle Advantage program, Walgreens Register Rewards and Points Program,
Coupons, Pinch Me, Saving Source, Bzzagent, Meijers buy 10 get the 11th free and
IBOTTA Deals and Bonuses.

Menu Planning: #250

2025 Updated Breakfast Under $1.00

On the USDA Website, their thrifty grocery budgets range from  $25.70 to $72.80 per week ($3.67 - $10.40 per day) per person.   The two factors that determine the amount allocated are age and sex.  With such a small amount of money allocated daily for food and my attempt to eat healthily, I need to plan each week carefully.     With the Bird Flu hitting America hard recently, the egg is no longer a humble star but is turning into a luxury.     A dozen eggs cost $5.49 or $0.46 each.  At this price, I am looking at other options for breakfast.   Breakfast is a great place to add value to your meal planning.    It can be the cheapest or most expensive meal.  The choice is up to you.    NOTE: Prices are for the Northeast area for March 1,  2025 Let’s look at breakfasts that come in at or under $1.00.     Beagle and Cream Cheese ($0.69 per serving) Kroger Prices Bagels (6ct)- $2...
