Free Donuts- What?

-

 

National Donut Day is June 4th. 


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 soilers 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.     


National Donut Day is Jun 4th.   Krispy Kreme is still following all local COVID rules and regulations, so check with your local shop in order to follow the rules.    If you are choosing to participate in this event, please be respectful and responsible.     Treat everyone with kindness, courtesy and patience.    


In addition to National Donut Day, if you have received the COVID vaccination shot, then you can produce your COVID Vaccination card for 1 free glazed donut.

Keeping Cool Without an AC- Part 5

  The news is full of headlines indicating that energy shortages are on the horizon for most of the world. Over the decades, we have become reliant on the coolness of our air conditioners and have forgotten how we survived without them. It is now time to rediscover how to stay cool without our AC. Our 5 part series provides ideas on how to beat the heat this summer without the AC.     House Adjustments- Part 2 By placing house plants, such as English ivy, ficus, and spider plants, throughout your home, you can drop the overall temperature of your house by 10 degrees. In addition, house plants are air purifiers and add oxygen to your home.     For quick relief, create a personal mister to help drop the temperature of your skin: thus making you feel colder. Some people combine a spray bottle and a fan to create a cooling effect. However, I use just the spray bottle with cold water throughout the day and it keeps me cool. In addition, we use cooling clothes to cool us down by placing the

  The Frugal Five: #26 With inflation on the rise and our salaries not being able to keep up, it seems like we have taken a pay cut and must be more careful with our money.   The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate our daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     ** Sorry for the lack of pictures. My week has been really busy and I just didn't get around to it. 1- Fall Garden Harvest    With the weather turning cold, we harvested the tomatoes that were left and made dice tomatoes out of them.   This will come in handy for making our taco soup and chili in the upcoming weeks.   In addition, we are able to add a few jalapeno peppers to the dishes.  Our dried mint was placed in containers for making tea this winter and fresh clippings were added to the drying rack.     Finally, our seeds are dried and ready for storage for next season.      It was a lot of work but worth it.  2- Free Item Coupons This week several companies sent me free product coupons, so I

  The Frugal Five: #73 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.     1- “Potluck” lunch At work this week, we are having a potluck appetizer/dessert party for a colleague’s 60th birthday.  Everyone is expected to bring an appetizer or dessert for the party.    Since there will be a lot of food provided by everyone, I am not bringing my lunch that day and will eat from whatever people have brought.   In addition, on Friday, our social committee is providing us with a turkey lunch feast.     2- Picking up a Cheap Turkey This week at Kroger, if you spend $25.00, then you can purchase a Kroger turkey for just $0.49 per pound.  Although we do not prefer dark meat, we decided to take advantage of this deal and planned for what to do with the dark meat.     No worries
