Alternative to water flavors

I love Propel and Crystal Light. I'm not a huge fan of plain water.  Even on sale they are so expensive.  I found a great, tasty, inexpensive alternative.

Additional unsweetened frozen fruit.  It cools it like ice. Add your favorite sweeteners if desired.  Or squeeze most of the juice from a mandarin orange and drop it into your water bottle. 

Yummy water and fruit to snack on later.

Breakfasts

Option 1: Homemade Egg McMuffin

I found a link on Pinterest to this site with instructions for home made egg breakfast sandwiches.

I made some tonight and Success!

18 AA eggs: 1.99 = .11 per egg

English Muffins (2 pkgs, 12 muffins total) 3.00 = .25 per muffin

What I already had, small amounts:

Pam cooking spray

butter

Cheddar cheese (2 slices made 6 muffins, good sharp cheese) .66 total.

About $1.13 per muffin.

It's more than the $1 McDonald's charges, but the savings comes because the meal is not purchased (hash browns and coffee). Also, the ingredients are a much higher quality.

I made six as a test run. I'm excited to make more. Super easy.

Living Frugal

Facebook and Pinterest are inspiring me to be a DIYer and live a more efficient and conscientious life. Living simpler is my 2012 goal. Documenting things here will help me to keep to my goals and remind me of things that work.
