Holy mackerel, here’s a few more Dollar Tree foods! This is a giant can of mackerel for $1.00. If I were in the mood for something potentially gross I would buy this. I could make mackerel patty cakes and tell people they were crab cakes! But I think for now I’ll follow the war on…
Saving Paper Planet
My I am passionate about saving the environment, but I’m a terribly wasteful person. I can think of thousands of things I’m doing wrong, but right now I’m going to list what I’m doing right. Here are some things I’m doing to help the environment: I barely get any junk mail. Every time I receive…
Not Dollar Tree Dining: Jewelry
My next Not Dollar Tree Dining post is about jewelry. I’ll admit: I am rather neglectful with my jewelry. For many years (decades even), my jewelry boxes have been a tangled mess of: half-ass jewelry I’ve made, a few nice pieces, and a big, ugly pile of costume jewelry. I haven’t worn much jewelry in…
Dollar Tree Dining #47
Merry Christmas friends, and happy holidays! I hope everything is going great for you. This week, here’s some fun breakfast treats. I wanted to buy these so bad! But at 230 calories for 3/4 of a cup (that’s 306 calories a cup), my belly couldn’t afford this transgression, especially during the holidays when there’s so…
Dollar Tree Dining #46
Here are some more silly things you can buy at Dollar Tree. Everyone likes Fun Dip, and now you can buy 4 pouches for a dollar! These caramels might make you reconsider the importance of dental work. You can buy lollipop rings that look like Christmas lights! Here are some adorable Christmas tree ornaments that…
Effects of “vegan for a day”
I am now on Day 5 of being mostly vegan. Once I start a new habit like this I tend to stick with it for a while. I am not doing it 100% — I had milk in my coffee a couple of times. But I’ve stuck with it pretty well. Here are some of…
Not Dollar Tree Dining: Vegan for a Day
I have been an on-and-off vegetarian for most of my life. I stopped eating meat at age 11 when I learned that my next-door neighbors were raising bunnies to slaughter and eat! Bunnies are pets; they can’t be eaten! I never did tell my neighbors that they inspired me to become a vegetarian. Since then,…
Not Dollar Tree #1: Morning Routines
I’ve been posting about Dollar Tree for nearly a year. There may be a few more Dollar Tree Dining posts, but I’m transitioning to new topics. I have several things I’ll be writing about. But right now, I’m thinking about morning routines. I woke up early this morning with the best of intentions: I was…
Dollar Tree Dining #45
It’s getting cold outside, so it’s time to shop at Dollar Tree! This is a Christmas tree ornament with a little string on the top! It’s not fair season, but now you can make funnel cakes at home! These don’t taste like snow, I promise. I haven’t seen these, before. What a delicious, healthy snack….
Dollar Tree Dining #44
I spotted some “new” foods at Dollar Tree: I’m sure these taste good, but I can’t get myself to buy something this bad for me. The ingredient list is extensive and scary. This is a lot of dried apples for $1.00 – 5 ounces! They taste so good, but I’ll probably never find them again….
