I can’t stand spending my money on food items when I know they are much cheaper when making them at home. Most of the time we have all the ingredients on hand to make them. In the past, I’ve shared a few of my little “money saving” recipes such as Vanilla Sugar – How to Make It, Graham Cracker Crust, Powdered Sugar – Make it, Don’t Buy it!, and so on.
There’s a spice blend that I keep scratching my head to understand why home cooks would buy it at the store at its exorbitant price when it takes less than 5 minutes to make. I’m talking here about Pumpkin Pie Spice! It’s crazy how much they charge when it’s only a fraction of the cost when making it from scratch. It tastes “fresher”, its cost effective and you know exactly what goes in it.
My motto is “if I can make it at home, I’ll do it!” and it should be yours as well. By making this Pumpkin Pie Spice at home, you save a few dollars. Eventually a little saved here then a little saved over there will make you realize that making your own blends is so worth it plus you don’t have to go to the store. By saving time and money, you have the fresh homemade version at your finger tips… to me that’s being smart!
Bon Appétit!
