If you don't know by now, then I must tell you, I don't see any reason to spend money on something when it's not necessary. I just think it's better to find a way that is more unique and cost effective, even in small ways. Saving a little here and there can really add up in the long run!!I almost spent $2.47 on freezy pops. You know, those colorful popsicles in the plastic tubes. If I remember correctly there were about 36 in a package. I would have spent a whole .14 cents a piece. Which in reality is not such a bad deal. However, I decided to go with the .20 cent kool-aid pouch instead. I have an ice cube tray especially made for ice that fits into water bottles. The tray works wonderfully for mini popsicles. I've used it several times to make pickle pops for my daughter.
The tray holds 27 cubes/popsicles. I just pour kool-aid in the holes and drop in popscicle sticks. When they are completely frozen , I removed them from the tray and place them in a storage container and place them back in the freezer for easy access. Wha-la! Mini popsicles!! One pitcher of koolaid makes 3 batches of popsicles ~ making a grand total of 81 mini popsicles. One freezy pop equals about 2 mini popsicles. This is great with toddlers because it's just the right size. They are also refreshing for all ages and you can have more than one and not feel guilty. We made 81 popsicles for .20 cents. (Not including the cup of sugar).
*Any liquid can be used to make these cute little popsicles. -Juice is a delicious and nutritious alternative.
-Leftover pickle juice is sour, fun, and FREE!
*Popsicle sticks come in huge boxes and last a looooonnnggg time!
-Washing and reusing sticks can cut cost.
Have a FUN and STICKY time!!
Your promises are sweet to me, sweeter than honey in my mouth!
