i didn't like Kool Aid before this because it was always too sweet!

my dh is the one who came up with this idea. make the Kool Aid as directed, but don't add sugar. when you want a glass, pour Kool Aid into a cup and add sweet and low. we usually do 2 packets/ 8 oz glass. it tastes great, and i'm willing to bet it's cheaper than Crystal Light. i can often get packets of Kool Aid for 20/ $1 and i pay 10 cents max. this makes a full pitcher. now, the Sweet and Low is what will cost you. but i still think the entire thing would ring up cheaper per glass than Crystal light.

another thing you can do is just add less sugar, but the Sweet and Low's lower on calories.

You mean I'm not the only one who does this?!
I add a packet of stevia to my glass and fill'er up with unsweetened Kool-Aid lemonade. My family is used to this but the unsweetened Kool-Aid really freaked out our babysitter!

Personally, I love the peach tea, and Kool aid doesn't make that 'yet'

but I always made kool aid with half the called for sugar
