so I was talking to A and she was telling me about a lady on the web that makes jello and puts it into containers before it sets up so that she can give it to her kids for school!!
Genius!!!!
So I thought I would try it out!!
I went to the store and found some plastic containers that hold 1/2 cup. I got 8 of them for like $3. I'm pretty sure you could find some at the $1 store, but I don't have the luxury where I live....whhaa whaa.
Then I got some Jello! I picked strawberry, but pick your fave!! it was $1.
I chose the smaller box of jello thinking that it was going to make 4 1/2 cups. then when I actually read the box, it said it makes 4, (1/2 cups), so I should have got 2 of those boxes or I should have bought the bigger box..... good to know for next time!!!
When I got home, I realized I had and extra box of strawberry at home so I was able to fill up all 8 containers!!!
Just follow the Jello directions and instead of chilling the entire bowl, just divide it up into your containers and then let set in the fridge!
So simple. Soooo cheap. this snack for the first 8 days will average out to .50/day. Next time I make it, it will be .25/day (because the bigger box was about $2 and I won't have to buy the containers.)
Jello is great because you can choose the sugar free kind and it tastes the exact same!! Its cheap! and my kids LOVE it!!
