I think it's about time for a Costco recipe! I shop Costco at least twice a month, and there are some ingredients that are always cheaper there than anywhere else...even if I compare it to a "Meijer sale minus coupon" price.
My family eats a lot of yogurt parfaits, and we top them with this simple and versatile homemade granola. See the options and tips section below for more uses for this yummy granola.
- Quaker old fashioned rolled oats ($7.49/10 lb box)
- honey ($11.99/5 lb jug)
- cinnamon ($2.59/10.7oz container)
One of the easiest ways to save money on food is to pack your husband a lunch!
OK, never mind, it's not easy. It takes planning, time, and energy. But I can make my husband a chicken wrap for less than $1.00, as opposed to him spending $6.00 on basically the same chicken wrap at Applebees, or send along an Italian roast beef sandwich and chips for $1.25, as opposed to him picking up a burger and fries for $5.00. I think you'll agree that the savings is worth the planning, time, and energy involved in making his lunch! Not only does packing a lunch save money, but it's usually healthier to eat food from home rather than going out to eat all the time.
