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.

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.

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 coo...

Frugal 5: #26

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....

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.
