yogurt with fruit in it on the cheap!

yogurt is expensive! anywhere from 50 cents to $1 for one of those cute little cups. And who doesn't love the kind with the fruit on the bottom?? My mom taught me a trick when I was younger...she had either bought some yogurt tubs because they were way cheaper or gotten some from my dads work. He worked at a supermarket that would rarely send him home with left over product--we once had an entire upright freezer filled with carvel easter bunny cakes and cadbury eggs--BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!! :) Those tubs of yogurt are great--big size, more affordable, ect...especially with a lot of kids! The down side? There's no fruit in those things!! Kids tend to be picky--plain vanilla yogurt isn't especially fun! Even the strawberry and blueberry kinds lack the cool fruit pieces. So the cool trick?? Add some strawberry jelly to the yogurt and mix it up!! It tastes awesome and turns the yogurt pink--can't get much better than that! I had blueberry yogurt on hand when I did this, so in the photos mine looks purple--still cool! It's a great way to give the kids a nice snack while on a budget.

add some jelly to give plain old yogurt some jazz!

you can see the yummy strawberry pieces in the yogurt!
