Summer is Officially Over



So sad....No more $1.00 Large Drinks from McDonald's. They're back to a whopping $1.79. Now it's gonna totally break our bank. :)

Funny thing though is that yesterday was the last day, since it was the last day of the month, yet the worker refused to sell us one last night for $1.00.

He was an idiot. Allow me to be blunt. Not only did he refuse us our savings of $0.79 for each drink, but he got both drinks wrong (he tried slipping regular Coke by me), no straws, AND he got Brian's food order wrong. He must have given Brian someone else's order cuz it was totally not even what he ordered.

Oh well. I'll forgive them, especially since they're now selling these babies...



...and anyone who knows how much I LOVE their Cinnamon Melts (USED to...cuz I don't eat them any more. Actually, it's my belly that doesn't need them, I should clarify) knows how excited I am for these. But alas, I'll have to drool from afar. Or save up enough points (yes, I'm on Weight Watchers...) that I can indulge once in awhile.

Let us all grieve for our friend, the summer $1.00 Diet Coke, yet welcome a new happiness in our life...the Brownie Melt.

So exactly how many points is a Brownie Melt? It is far more than the $1.00 Diet Coke. Too bad...

I am mourning right along with you. I was really angry yesterday when I was surprised by the $1.79 on the drive thru screen. How dare they take this away from me!!! But then I went to Walmart and Coke products were on sale, 2L for .78 so my pantry is full. It's still not as fun though. There's something about the cup, the straw, the ice, that makes it extra special. Can you tell I have a lot to say about Diet Coke? Maybe I need to rethink my priorities... nah! :)

Oh, how I love the McDonald's DC! Seriously--it has saved me many a hot summer day. You're right: summer IS over. Oh well, I am welcoming fall with open arms.
