**Freeper Kitchen Ping**
Thanks!!! (Reminder to self, read this thread later.)
This is a bit of a different direction ... but folks, seriously, if you have to eat out, and you HAVE to eat at a restaurant, only order water to drink. You’ll save yourself two dollars every time, just by doing that. Insist that your kids do the same thing.
If you need a quick meal, get your drinks at the grocery store, order off the dollar menu at Wendy’s or McDonald’s. McD’s will even have ONE of their breakfast sandwiches for a dollar.
Nowadays, folks carry their water bottles in with them, even in to fast food restaurants.
I drink hot tea at home, or take my hot tea and pour it over ice. I recently started buying liquid saccharin (again) and will add a couple drops of that if I “need” it to be sweet. I found liquid saccharin at the local Kroger affiliate. The label on the bottle says Calorie Free Sweetener.
We have a water filter in the kitchen here at home, and I use that filtered water to make my tea and for when I’m getting a drink of water.
