A Grissom trip to Braums

Well this is an unexpected one I didn't think I would blog about, and I really wish I had brought my camera to show you a great picture. But we went to Braums this evening after Cynthia's drama play and of course what is the cheapest way to eat ice cream with a large family, Buy a 3 pint tub and ask for lots of spoons. The kids just decided on one kind they would all like and sat at the same table eating it right out of the container. Way cheaper than buying individual ice creams and they thought it was so fun.

A Grissom Trip to McDonalds

Well thought we would share what we do even when we eat out. A trip to Mcdonalds could easily be a bigger expense than we should spend on it, so here's what we do. The kids all pick one thing off the dollar menu, ( a double cheeseburger or chicken sandwich usually). I split one for my two littlest ones, because they can't eat a whole burger.

We all drink waters, which are free and healthier for us. And we split a fry, (and if you had ever watched the movie "Super size me" you would only eat a few fries too).

So a whole trip to Mcdonalds to feed our family of 8 people (not counting daddy) would only cost 10 to 11$. Verses if we were to eat happy meals and the whole shebang, it would surely be close to 25$.
