Frugal Finds - Handel's Ice Cream



This is a quick Frugal Find that will probably only be interesting to y'all in the I.E. - Handel's Ice Cream (I understand that they ship everywhere in the US but without the "frugal"part). If you're not familiar with Handel's you are missing out and you best be gettin' yourself on over there to discover the deliciousness that is Handel's Homemade Ice Cream.

Handel's was started in Ohio in 1945 by Alice Handel. Handel's whips up fresh batches of numerous flavors of deliciousness every morning and, adhering to their mission to "Never Skimp", they throw in fistfuls of yummy ingredients.

Handel's features a huge selection of ice cream flavors (I can't speak to their yogurt as I get my fix at Pinkberry) and I haven't come close to sampling them all but I have not come across a flavor that I did not highly enjoy! My favorite is banana cream pie (it has chunks of pie crust and sliced bananas in it) and given the fact that I am a proud chocoholic, my choice of banana cream pie as my fave should tell you how nummy it is!

Now, the reason that I'm listing Handel's as a Frugal Find (and my boys LOVED helping with the "research" btwubs) is because if you pop in on a Wed (to the Upland location) or Thursday (at the Rancho location) you get a single scoop cone for $1.25! Depending on who your scooper is, you may get a generous scoop or you may get a wimpy one but either way - it's delicious and a deal considering their normal price is around $3.


You can also sign-up for their Handel's V.I.P. Rewards program so that they can tantalize and tempt you when you check your e-mail.

Enjoy!
