30 Food Items You Should Stop Buying { Make Homemade Instead } (Day 11)

This is day 11 of How to Live on One Income Guide. To read all the post in order start on Day 1 here.

Another easy way to save money on groceries, is to simply make them yourself. Buying just the basic ingredients to make things homemade with out all the additives and preservatives found in most food. On my journey I was amazed how few ingredients were needed for most items I would buy. Now I can afford to buy better ingredients like organic and all natural products. Plus learning the science behind cooking like how to make yogurt is just plain fun. I have compiled a great reference list for you to use for homemade mixes, snacks and pantry staples to fill your home with goodness. You can also find a comprehensive list broken out by category on my Homemade Pantry Staples page.
