The Best Ice Cream $5 Can Buy

Plus, an affordable Rao's dupe we love

It's hot outside. If you're already going broke buying single-scoop cones at your local ice cream parlor, make some room in the freezer and take a look at our list of the best ice cream you can buy for less than five bucks.

Okay, we know you came here for ice cream bargains, but if money is no object when it comes to dessert in your household, Jeni's makes some praise-worthy pints. We jammed our spoons into 16 Jeni's ice cream flavors to find the best of them all.

When the temps rise, it's essential to stay hydrated, and the best water flavorings and water enhancers make that way more fun. Whether you want your water to taste like lemonade, Kool-Aid, or aguas frescas, there's something sweet on this list for you.

Sure, you could roast a chicken and make chicken salad at home—or you could leave that up to the deli at your local grocery store. We tasted premade chicken salad from Walmart, Costco, Trader Joe's, and more to find the best chicken salad for your next quick lunch.

Lastly (but not leastly), we have a hot tip for bargain hunters: If you love Rao's marinara but can't justify the $8-plus price tag, we found a worthy dupe that happens to be very affordable.
