Free Donuts- What? 2022

 National Donut Day



National Donut Day stems from the Salvation Army’s efforts during World War I to provide a comforting meal to the soldiers.   A group of volunteers soon discovered that serving donuts to the troops was the best option given their challenge of cooking in the field.     These volunteers soon became known as the donut “lassies”.     


In 1938, Donut Day was established to honor the volunteers who provided comfort to the soldiers.    Nowadays, donut day is celebrated by donut shops around the county offering a free donut to every customer.      Donut Day is the first Friday of June each year.    This year it will be celebrated on June 3, 2022.    We have been going to Krispy Kreme for years to celebrate Donut Day and plan to do so again this year.

The Frugal Five: #49

  The Frugal Five: #49 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 the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     .          1- Haircut Savings Since haircuts are $30 per cut plus tip, each time my husband asks me to cut his hair, I am happy to.    This is a huge saving!   He gets his hair cut every other week, so on average, we save $60 per month on just his haircuts.    2- Beverages from Home  Each day I make coffee and take a travel mug with me to work.   In addition, I make homemade tea to pack for my lunch.    Since Starbucks’ coffee prices have gone up, my daily savings for my daily coffee has increased to about $5.75 per day.    In addition, sodas at work run about $2.00 per...

The Frugal Five: #46

  The Frugal Five: #46 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 the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     This week I focused on garden frugal ideas and savings.  Gardens take a lot of work and can take a chunk of cash.   Let's see how we can keep the price down and get the same results.          1- Free Seeds  How can we get free seeds and when do we start planting for the spring?   Previously, I was able to pick up seeds from my local library through a seed-sharing program.   However, since we moved, my local library doesn’t participate in this type of program.     Therefore, I looked for other opportunities to secure free seeds.   I found the Free Seed Project.  Through this ...
