Treats are important to fit into a tight food budget, it is much easier to stick with a budget if you budget in the treats. For us that means dessert a few times a week, I buy dessert items usually at the end of season. For example cakes mixes were on sale at Christmas time and knowing that we would use one a week I bought 10 boxes, I even the day after Christmas scored chocolate chips for 1.00 a bag, bought a bunch those and placed in the freezer ( behind the frozen veggies just to keep prying kids from finding them) . They will be used to make cookies, added to pancakes, just a handful of chocolate makes everything taste better.
