Snack foods?

Hi!
The other night I took a can of biscuits (10 for $0.30) and cooked half of them for my dh. The other half I cut into quarters and fried on the stovetop. When they were done I rolled them in cinnamon sugar. It was a quick and easy snack for a few cents! These are soooo yummy! You could roll them in powdered sugar or just plain sugar. They're yummy even not rolled in anything.

Another tip I wanted to share that I found the other day: Bake a pan of brownies and let cool. Then cut them up and wrap each brownie in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. Now you have a quick snack whenever you need it. You could pull one out in the morning to take to work instead of buying something from the venting machine. Or take it grocery shopping with you (with your frozen water of course!) and when you get hungry you have something to eat instead of stopping at a fast food joint.

Now take the money you would've spent at the vending machine or fast food place and put it in your change jar. You'd be amazed how fast this little bit of extra money adds up. And you'll never miss it because you were going to send it anyway!

Thats all for today. I hope you've had a great 4th of July!
