A Family Against the Flow

We're a family that believes you can do things your own way, and this blog is about our adventures doing just that. We try to spend our money thriftily, be healthy, make things instead of buying them, enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and raise our kids to have values that go against the flow of what they're taught by zombie Hitler. Actually just the things they learn from a consumer-oriented world, but that's bad too. Not currently updating with new posts (19/05/21)!

Restaurant Food at Home: Krispy Kreme

This time I decided to recreate us a sweet treat at home. Krispy Kreme doughnuts always look delicious as do their milkshakes. We've had the doughnuts before and they are quite pricey.

I decided to make us:

Krispy Kreme Biscoff Caramel Milkshakes
Original Glazed Doughnuts

Cost in Krispy Kreme £23

The milkshakes were easy to make and turned out great.

The doughnuts were a lot more complex to make than I'd planned for. Professionally made doughnuts look uniformly circular and perfect. My doughnuts were more like blobs of doughnut. Still, they were delicious blobs and much cheaper than professionally made ones.

Cost of homemade food £8 (£3 of that is the lotus biscoff spread!)

Saving us £15 by eating at home!

Either way, whether eating in Krispy Kreme or at home, doughnuts and milkshakes together leave you with a sick feeling of overindulgence. We all started off enjoying the food but felt horrible after it. Definitely not worth £23 but a bargain at £8, haha :p
