Default Re: Which items you don't buy anymore?

I don't buy cake mix, I make it from scratch now. I have green onion in my garden all year round.

My DH used to stop at the fast food, cause he likes the french fries, but now we bought deep fryer, so I make my own. I peel the potatoes and cut it to look like fries and fry it. I takes like 3 -potatoes to make large size fries which costs like $2 (not sure). So if my cost is 30c for potatoes and 10c for the oil, I save more than $1.50 every time. It paid off for itself within 12 servings. The first 2 days we ate lots of fries, then maybe twice a week.
