Frugal Tip: Sonic Happy Hour

If you don't live near a Sonic, allow me to offer my condolences.  If you do, I just wanted to share a little tip with you.

I love Sonic's Happy Hour.  It's something that's a special treat if we happen to be out running errands in the afternoon.  My kids LOVE the orange cream slushes, which are still kind of pricey since they only reduce the "slush" part of the cost.  I decided that it was cheaper for them to split a large than for each of them to get the small size.  However, it wasn't very practical for them to keep passing the cup back and forth.

Enter my favorite sippy cups:

They're not just for toddlers anymore!  A large cream slush will just about fill three of these.  They're a lot sturdier than the Sonic cups, and the kids get a serving that's just right for them (meaning less calories consumed so close to dinner).  :)
