Make it Homemade Today
I love to cook, but one thing I love to do just about as much as cooking is saving money!!! So how much fun would it be to be able to do both at the same time? I've created this blog to help each other out. Lets find ways, recipes, share tips and gather ideas on ways we can all work together to cook and save money.
Don't we throw so many items in our grocery carts just because of convenience? Such as store-bought cookie dough? I've been guilty of this one!!! It's SOOO much easier to open a package and stick it in the oven than to deal with the mess of the flour, and dirty dishes. Plus I'm always trying to keep my 12 year old step-son from eating the entire batch of cookie dough.
There are MANY items out there that we could be making at home and saving money on, what about frozen biscuits, frozen pancakes, cream cheese spreads, italian seasoning mixes, bisquick mix and even hot pockets!!!
With a little extra time, skill and effort we can all create homemade items to enjoy and in the end save money. Next time you go to the grocery store think about all the things you find there that could potentially be homemade, let me know what you find.
Remember in the end, homemade just taste better anyways!
