Guilty Pleasures Treat Stash

Most of you know I give up chocolate every year for Lent. And come Easter, I let go full force - well, not quite that bad.

Last month I really lucked out with some special treats, though. 

Along the way, there was both a sale and a separate online coupon for a 10-piece cheesecake sampler at Smiths. I really really really love me my cheesecake but rarely find it justifiably affordable. This time, the double deal made it silly to pass up. So I got it. I packed 2 pieces in each of 5 containers, left one out and ate those pieces last month, took one container out May 1, ate one piece one day, another a few days later. I still have 3 containers in there and will take out one each month.

Then, also a sale and an online coupon deal at the same time, very rare those double deals, for double chocolate Magnum ice cream bars (3 in a pack). Had to get one. Had one super delicious bar last month. Took one out May 1 and put it in the little freezer at the top of the fridge and will likely eat that Sunday. And I have one more left for June.

Thing is, so long as I space them out like that, they truly are "treats" that I look forward to and love love love indulging in.

I guess we all have our guilty pleasures but I especially love them when they are cheap or really good deals...
