By now you all know I squeak when I walk…Washington blinks at the light when I open my wallet…I squeeze a penny so hard Abe takes a shit…har, har, har, I’ve heard ’em all.  Well what do you do then when you love flavored coffee, but Amazon isn’t cooperating?  I was looking through the cabinets yesterday when I came across a can of mulling spices.  I do not know where it came from (well, it said Trader Joe, but you kwim) or how many light years past.  I do know that I had a handy-dandy grinder sitting there so I threw in a handful and let ‘er rip.  Mixed it in with the ground coffee in the can (shake well) and tested it (errr, maybe the wrong choice of words) on the family.  They liked it!

So there you go:  Check around the spice cabinet and see what you have forgotten about.  Whole allspice, some nutmeg, lots of cinnamon bark, little dab of whole cloves…make your own concoction and you’ll be amazed at how wonderful it smells and tastes.  This now concludes our Saving with the Cheapass PSA.
