I went to Dollar Tree today and bought Cheese Stuffed Breadsticks: I’ve been wanting to try these. They were yummy. With only 360 calories, and 12 grams of protein, it was practically a meal — all it needed was ranch dipping sauce. However after eating it, I noticed a gross aftertaste in my mouth —…

Yesterday, I stopped by Dollar Tree, and I saw Dippin’ Dots cereal and had to try it! To be fair, Dippin’ Dots “ice cream” is an insult to regular ice cream. It’s disgusting! I also think bananas are gross, and banana splits are too complicated – they have way too much going on at once!…

The Dollar Tree headquarters are located in Virginia Beach. Because of this, Dollar Trees in that area have some items you might not find in other locations. I bought about $13 of snacks for $5! These chocolate-covered chickpeas might cost like $5 elsewhere. The coconut chips might be as much as $4. I’m not sure…

I went to Dollar Tree at lunchtime yesterday. I always get excited when I find something new! Yesterday, it was the Munchi Mix. I opened the one with chocolate covered coconut at my desk during my midafternoon slump, and I couldn’t stop eating it! Also yesterday, I made a Dollar Tree dinner for $4. I…

I always get excited about something new, and these Eat! frozen entrees were no exception! I tried 3 – I can go back and get more if they are good. I started with the beef and broccoli. The packaging, frankly, is prettier than the food. These are small. I have no idea how they fit…

Last Saturday, we went to Dollar Tree in between an afternoon picnic and our dinner plans. I got chicken breast strips. The bag had 9 tenders – enough to make 3 salads. I had blueberries and whipped cream for dessert. Antioxidants and phytochemicals! The next day, I made white chocolate pudding. My partner likes white…

The other morning at work, I was hungry. My grilled chicken salad wasn’t going to cut it. A new barbecue place opened in a gas station near my work, but when I got there at 11:55 a.m., they said it would be 20 more minutes before food would be ready! I didn’t want to wait,…

I have been an on-and-off vegetarian ever since I was 12 years old. At age 12, I had some neighbors raising rabbits to eat, and I thought that was gross. I stopped eating meat, but I am pretty sure I never told them. I’m currently not a vegetarian, but I’m still trying to eat less…

I’d like to share a couple of Dollar Tree adventures from the past few weeks. I’ll start with White Castle. When I was a kid, White Castle was this distant wonderland. When I was maybe 10 or 11, my mom brought me to Detroit to see a Tigers game. On the way, we stopped to…

I revisited the Loma plant-based meals this week. They are good, but we bought so many that we’re struggling to eat them all! I realized after maybe my 10th packet that the Tikki Masala packet tasted more like chili than anything, so I heated it up, added a little additional water and cheese and chili…
