Who buys frozen waffles and fake $1.00 a bottle maple syrup, much less feeds it to children. Yikes. How hard is it to put some mix in a bowl with a couple of eggs and water?
It wasn't me .
I’ve found from scratch is cheaper in the long run. Yes the real maple syrup we use is expensive, but we use it sparingly as a treat. My homemade bread is more expensive than any store shelf bread, but mine has six simple ingredients. There is sure to be a long-term cost offset by not feeding my family food with lab created ingredient alternatives. In addition to the health aspect, cooking from scratch with the kids turns into quality time and learning time. I’d love to do the couponing thing, but there are no coupons for the food that I purchase.
