Free Donuts- What?

National Donut Day is June 5th. 
National Donut Day started in 1938 by the Salvation Army as a way to thank
the “donut lassies”.  A “donut lassie” was a female volunteer who would give
treats to the solders on the front lines during World War I as a morale booster. 
The Salvation Army still participates in National Donut Day, but now requests
donations which go towards providing the following programs:  food pantries,
meals on wheels, senior citizen feeding programs and childcare nutrition
programs.
From my experience, on National Donut Day, you can score free donuts at
various locations using their deals.   I have gotten donuts from Meijers, Krispy
Kreme and Dunkin Donuts over the years.  We always take a group and are
prepared to wait in a long line to pick up our donut.    The wait is also part of
the fun: waiting, giggling, talking and watching the donuts being made.  
However this year, we will need to socially distance and be careful to ensure
everyone’s safety, so we will be using the drive through.      
National Donut Day is Jun 5th.   However, Krispy Kreme has changed from 1
day of free donuts to 5 days!   June 1 to June 5th!  I think they are trying to
give everyone a chance to receive a free donut, but also recognize that this is
a very crowded situation and the drive through will be very clogged.   If you are
choosing to participate in this event, please be respectful and responsible.    
Treat everyone with kindness, courtesy and patience.    
Krispy Kreme- 1 free donut per person
Last Year the following businesses also had free donuts, but I am unsure if
they will participate in the tradition this year.   
Walmart
Dunkin Donuts 
Meijers
Duck Donuts

If you find a place that is responsibly providing a free donut during this time,

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...

The Frugal Five: #88

  The Frugal Five: #88 With inflation on the rise and salaries not increasing, our ability to make ends meet keeps going down.    Therefore, we must be more careful with our money.   The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     This week I am exploring how to keep costs down during busy weeks.    Keeping dinner on the table instead of eating out is one of my strategies to get the job done.    Here are some of my tips and trips.    1- Free-Bee Pick Up  Over the last month, we have been blessed with several Free-Bees.  First, a friend gave us a dozen eggs from his chickens.  In addition, we picked up several photos with discount codes from Walgreens and CVS.   Next, we used our local grocery store coupons for several free food items such as seltzer water, ice cream, etc.   Then, we picked up toothpaste and eyeliners from ...
