Have you noticed the price of an ice cream cone or a milk shake lately? Heaven forbid you get that ice cream in a waffle cone, which makes your treat even more expensive
Ice cream sundaes, banana splits and milk shakes can be a very expensive treat at some ice cream shops. I visited Maggie Moos for the first time recently, and it will be the last because my small strawberry smoothie and my daughter's regular-sized ice-cream-with-smashed-cake-concoction put me back over $9. Even with the recent price increases in corn and gas having driven up milk prices (corn to feed the cows, gas to transport raw materials and finished goods), $9 for two small servings is crazy!
Given my love for ice cream and my disdain for overpriced frozen dairy treats, I was delighted to be reminded that I can have two weeks of milk shakes for under $10 from the E-Offers Blog. I really never stopped to consider how much money I could save making shakes at home compared to buying a shake at an ice cream shop or restaurant. You need to buy two quarts or liters of ice cream on sale to get the price under $10...that is, if you can find a true quart of ice cream. Have you noticed how ice cream containers in your grocer's freezer section have been shrinking?
