Frugal Food Gift #2: Tea Time

AddThis Social Bookmark Button
Here's an easy gift for the tea drinkers on your list. Keep your eyes open for a great deal on coffee mugs or tea cups. Often you can find them on sale for about $2 dollars each or a set of 4 mugs or tea cups for $8. You can also check the dollar store - they almost always have mugs in stock. And don't forget resale shops - you can sometimes find cups with matching saucers that are quite lovely.

Then buy a box filled with an assortment of individually packaged tea bags (you can find these on sale for about $3) and distribute the tea bags between about 3 of the mugs/cups.

Each of these food gifts will cost you about $3!

You can dress up each of the cups with some see-through cellophane wrap and ribbon too.
