Ready for the school bell? We have some Back to School Snack Ideas including this easy no bake Apple Donut Recipe. Kids snacks that celebrate the start of the school year.

School Snack Ideas Apple Donuts

What are you first day of school traditions? Historically, we have always gone out for ice cream after school. Apparently, we are not alone because we always ran into friends in our ice cream runs. One year I found myself at Target and let the kids pick up a treat in the toy aisle – I am a sucker. As more kids came along, our after school adventures ran into younger siblings naps and I had to get creative at home. Thus evolved our First Day of School Snack Ideas you can make at home.

We wanted more Back to School Snack Ideas and I am sure you did too. From Graham Cracker Pencils to Chalkboard Cookies to Apple Nutter Butter Pops, we have plenty of creative kids snacks to welcome your kids into the front door! This year, we bring you donuts!

These apple doughnuts do not disappoint. Have as a surprise after school snack for the kids or let them enjoy the process as these donuts are incredibly easy for little hands to make!

Your ingredients are pretty simple. Pick up donuts at the store as your base – no oven necessary!

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Lunchables at Peapod and Exclusive Code

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

December 19, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Store Deals

Want to know something amazing that I have found? Grocery service. Since having the twins (child number 4 and 5), I gave up on going to the grocery store. It wasn’t that I didn’t appreciate the quiet time. I would walk the aisles and sip my name brand coffee. Unfortunately, though, that quiet time was erased. Slowly one child joined me, then one child became two, two children became three and finally to get a quiet grocery run, I had to go during my work hours. I have a full time job, so if work didn’t get done in the day, it was moved to night time and my sleep was affected – all for wanting to get a quiet grocery run.

So grocery runs, have become Peapod delivery service. During nap each Sunday, I get my grocery order together. If I forget to add something to my order, I typically have until 6 PM that evening to add anything additional I need. Grocery delivery is especially easy during back to school season. Peapod has many specials and my older kids can sit at the computer with me and pick out what they like for lunch and snack. One of the current specials running is on Lunchables . Pick up 10 Lunchables for $10! This is the best offer currently available anywhere! My kids love the Pepperoni & Mozzarella combination. Sometimes for an afternoon snack, we pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds!

Are you a first-time Peapod user? I have an amazing offer for you. This offer is even better than what I had when I signed up! Enter code 30LUNCHTIME at checkout and get $30 off your first two orders of $100 or more each (before taxes and after all coupons and savings are applied. Plus you delivery or pick-up fee waived on first order and then on all subsequent orders of $100 or more placed within 60 days of first order.

Are you an existing customer? I am! Enter code 30LUNCHTIME at checkout to delivery or pick-up fee waived on order of $100 or more (before taxes and after all coupons and savings are applied). I can easily spend $100 on a grocery order.

Offer excludes alcoholic beverages, gift cards, postage stamps and any other purchases prohibited by law. Offer not transferable. Limit 1 per household. Offer valid for residential customers only. Not valid with any other offer. Expires 09/11/19.

The time grocery delivery service saves me and the convince it gives me really changes the dynamics of our home. I get time to invest in other areas and I am not doing frequent grocery runs to grab last minute things. I always have items in my cart and when I reach a minimum of $60, I hit send. Give Peapod a try and let me know what you think. I am curious if it is something amazing you will find too and never go back.

Note: Please note that the offer listed above is not initially visible on the landing page. You need to enter your zip code, and the offer will be visible on the next screen. Additionally, this offer is limit 1 per household. Offer valid for residential customers only. Offer runs from 7/8/19 to 9/11/19.

Wine and Cheese Party Ideas on a Budget

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 23, 2023 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Need a good reason to spend time with friends and family? These budget-friendly Wine and Cheese Party Ideas, tips, and recipes will have you hosting a memorable and relaxing party. Wine party ideas include fun charcuterie boards, wine party games, and wine-tasting printables.

Wine and Cheese Party Ideas on a Budget

When preparing for your party, consider cheese boards an art form that involves much more than throwing some cheeses and crackers on a plate and serving it to guests. Putting together your first cheese & charcuterie board shouldn’t feel daunting. Follow a few basic pairing guidelines when selecting your ingredients, and don’t hesitate to try something new! We have Wine Party Ideas to match your budget and tips and recipes that you can prepare ahead, not only saving your dollars but saving your time!

Be an Expert – The More You Know

It’s important to be an expert in the field. Okay, maybe not a total expert but at least have a few fun facts in your back pocket. What is in a charcuterie board? Harcuterie (shahr-cute-uh-ree) is a French word for smoked, dry-cured, or cooked meats. Charcuterie itself describes an array of preserved and prepared meat dishes, such as cured sausages, hams, bacon, and more. These aged meats add the perfect addition to a Wine and Cheese Party.

Throwing a Wine Party Hosting Tips

If you are doing the hosting, a few at-home wine party ideas might help. I could have shared almost our entire post of our Party and Hosting Tips in this round-up. Be sure to look at that post as many ideas overlap for hosting a Wine tasting party. In addition to these fun ideas for a white and cheese party at home, make sure you have the right drink. Wine tasting party theme needs different kinds of wine.

Grab a few bottles of wine including

Chardonnay
Cava
Cabernet Sauvignon
Pinot Noir
Sauvignon Blanc
Prosecco
Merlot

Include a grape variety of both red wine and white wine. Know the location of origin for each bottle of wine and try different bottles both locally and around the worth. Popular wine regions might include Argentina, Chile, Napa Valley, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Champagne region of France. If you can not have different wine glasses for a bottle of each wine, then have something to easily rinse out each glass in between tastings.

Wine Party Printables

A few printables help create a wine party ambiance and a bit of fun entertainment. Visit our Wine Tasting Party Games to learn more about what to do at a wine-tasting party. We include printable wine-tasting scorecards, tasting notes templates, and wine party games. Make sure to get to the bottom of the post as we have a very exciting free wine party printable for you – cheese markers to label your cheese and snack boards.

Creative Wine Party Ideas

They are plenty of low-cost wine and cheese party ideas on a budget. It’s possible to host a five-star wine party with a few frugal-friendly wine party ideas. Follow these DIY wine party ideas that are not only Pinterest-worthy aesthetically, but are also creatively low-cost and doable.

Let’s get started with some amazing Wine party ideas.

Wine-Tasting Tag Printables

Wine-tasting party ideas have to include a blind tasting. Grab different wines and cover them with a brown bag. If hosting a blind wine-tasting party, follow these easy steps including what to purchase. Put each wine in a brown paper bag and fix numbered wine tags to identify each bottle. Have dump buckets so no one gets drunk. | Bottles Fine Wine

Wine Party Games

If you want to make a wine party fun, have a few activities that fit the party theme. Keep your guests entertained with Wine & Cheese Party Games as well as these wine-tasting scorecards. Includes 11 cocktail party theme games for adults, wine-tasting notes, and wine-tasting sheets for immediate download. Print as many as you need for every guest to have one.

Middle School Survival Kit for Girls

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

July 1, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Back To School, Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Pinterest, Social Media

Being a teen can be challenging, especially when dealing with hygiene and body changes away from home. Before heading into the school year, make your daughter this Middle School Survival Kit for Girls.

Middle School Survival Kit for Girls

I beginning to see many of my friends begin the process of parenting a middle schooler. You see, my daughter was born in Florida where many middle schools began in 6th grade. We moved to the DC area when she was in 2nd grade where many of the middle schools begin in 7th grade. a big sigh of relief for this mama to an 11 year old.

Just because my oldest is not entering middle school, doesn’t mean I am not feeling the pre-teen vibes. My daughter is beginning to discover things like shaving your legs, what it means to have a period, how to have good hygiene and more. If your daughter has anxiety about being “away from mom” doing some of these new experiences, make her a middle school locker emergency kit.

Middle School Locker Emergency Kit

Li lly Pulitzer Cosmetic Bag This cosmetic bag was too cute to pass up. What girl would not love this print? As a bonus, the adorable pouch comes with some goodies – 2 sticker sheets, 3 magnetic page keepers, and a Lilly Pulitzer ballpoint pen. Parts of this bag are see through, so perhaps leave the feminine products out for a bashful teen.

Mini Hair Brush Did anyone else have a hair brush like this growing up. It totally takes me back! This mini brush is designed to detangle. Perfect for after physical education.

Maybelline New York Baby Lips Lip Balm I have been using Baby Lips since they came out. Simply love the healing lip balm with a touch of color. I don’t feel like I am pushing my daughter to age too fast by giving her a tinted balm over lipstick.

Mini Lint Roll For the girl who wants to look picture perfect. Roll off that extra dog/cat hair with this mini lint roll. Chances are she will loving having it more than she will use it, but it’s a cute addition to her beauty kit.

Spiral Hair Ties The majority of the time, my daughter has half a dozen hair ties on her wrist, but for the times she forgot, have a backup supply of hair ties. These spiral hair ties are great for not getting creases in your hair. Plus they are adorable on your wrist (well better than some of the other hair ties I have seen!)

Flushable Wipes Cleansing Cloths Such an encouragement to remaining hygienic during the day. Wipe off sweaty make-up or perhaps unwanted body odor with these flushable cleansing wipes. I would replenish throughout the year as they are prone to drying out. I would also place this travel pouch in a Ziploc bag to retain the moisture.

Bobby Pins Want to pin back unwanted cascading hair. Bobby pins are you best friend. Be sure to look at our Bobby Pin Hack too!

Pacifica Island Vanilla Body Spray Middle school is a period of time of unwanted odors. The developing body goes through a lot! always smell your best with a pleasant body spray. Is anyone else a fan of having a familiar (always the same) sent?

Green Tea Mints No time to brush? Have spare mints. Do you know that mints can also stimulate the brain, giving your child an extra boost to an afternoon math class!

Hand Sanitizer Gel I mean germs! I became an anti-germ mama once I had more than two kids. I did not want one kid getting another sibling sick (and on down the line.) If a sink and soap are not near by, grab some hand sanitizer! Plus, these gels smell great! Another great scent found here.

Dove Powder Deodorant When I taught fifth grade, it was an age of hormones starting. The only thing i told my kids to put on every day was their clothes and deodorant! I told them this every day. Encourage taking care of your hygiene by having deodorant in your child’s survival kit!

Always Radiant Infinity Pads for Teens Having your monthly period can be hard. Outlast the average school day with these Always Infinity Pads for teens. They have an (up to) 8-hour absorbency. The teen size makes it the right size for a teen over your average adult.
