My girls eat really well. They love yogurt. All flavors, all kinds. This makes me happy. My kids can eat gallons of the stuff. At about $4 for a "large" container of yogurt, this can get costly.
Last summer I can across a post on one of my favorite blogs about making your own yogurt. I thought, wouldn't that be great??? Then the doubter in me worried about would it really save me any cash, or would it just be another thing that I add to my day with no good things as an outcome??
Well, that was last summer. I have had to compromise on yogurt purchases...some weeks we can, some weeks we can't. Have I mentioned how tight money is in our house??
I came across the yogurt thought again, and I did more searching online...one of my favorite past times...(what did I do before search engines??) And I found a crock pot blog, and there was a yogurt recipe you make in your crock pot...yes, I am listening (reading) and well, at the end of her post she had a breakdown of the savings in her area and her costs!
So, in yet another attempt at saving money, I am going to attempt to make my own yogurt. And I will let you know how it all comes out!!! (Soon I hope)
What have you done to impact your budget/save some cash?
(Another thought was to look into making our own pasta, but really, at about $1 a box, I can't ok the thought to ferment in my mind, yet)
We tried the pasta making thing when we got a free pasta maker--not worth it in my book. As to yogurt--it is great. We make it organic for much cheaper than the non-organic. My daughter posted about the simple way she does it on her blog: Easy Homemade Yogurt. There is some incubating right now :-).
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and thanks for checking out my blog...I checked your daughter's blog out...one of these days I am going to make yogurt! I love the idea on your daughter's blog about putting the cooler outside...I live where it gets into those high temps...
