Jazz up your Ramen

As if you haven’t noticed already the only groceries you can afford come in a box, are under a dollar and the cooking instructions include you opening up a microwave. While mac and cheese and Ramen Noodles are an okay meal every now and then, they get very boring night after night. However, there are a few simple and most importantly cheap ways you can add a little more flavor to your food.
Alfredo Ramen Noodles
                Add a different taste to the same old package of Ramen Noodle. This works with any flavor. All you need is your favorite flavor of Ramen Noodles, roughly 2 tablespoons of butter and milk and about a cup of grated parmesan cheese. Cook your noodle as you normally would then mix in the remaining ingredients.
Starbucks quality coffee
                If you are still stopping at Starbucks everyday and wonder why your wallet is always empty then shame on you.  You can simply recreate your favorite cappy- frappy- cino for less. All you need for this simple trick is some black coffee and flavored creamer. It’s really that easy.  Many grocery stores carry a variety of different creamer flavors, by mixing the right amount of coffee, creamer and sugar your can become your own café barista. Also for the month of November, Burger King is giving away free coffee every Friday, so now you can really save some money on this deal.
Baked potato
If you haven’t tried it already to make a twiced-baked potato try it! It’s easy, cheap and DELICIOUS  All you need besides your potato is a tablespoon sour cream and milk and shredded cheese (I also sometimes include bacon if I have it already). Bake a potato until it is soft on the inside.  Slice the potato open on one side and scoop out all of white stuff, leaving just the potato skin. Mix together the potato, milk and sour cream and then place back inside the potato skin. Top if off with cheese and place into the oven until cheese is melted.
