Lists : little ways to save money

So, you don’t want to go super cheap!  But, who doesn’t like the feeling of saving a little money.  In my lifetime, I worked for several small business people that were multi millionaires.   It probably wouldn’t surprise you that they both watched their pennies.

• Taco seasoning cost a dollar an ounce.   It’s really simple to get taco seasoning ingredients for fractions of the cost in the ethnic isle in bags or in the bulk isle.   90 percent savings for ten minutes of work is worth it. 
• Peasant bread costs .25,  the equivalent loaf of bread is well over 2.50.   Time!  10 minutes spread over two days. 
• Bread crumbs.  Another ten minute chore that saves 90 or more percent, 
• Pancake or muffin mix another few minutes that saves 90 or more percent.  Four large muffins cost 5.00.   A batch of 18 smaller muffins cost .30.   Add a fruit and you are still well under 90 percent profit.   And they can  be hot out of the oven. Yum,!frozen pancakes and waffles are expensive.   
• Cream soup base is pennies instead of dollars for a can of soup. 
• Bread machine bread costs .50 instead of upwards of three dollars.   Again, minutes of your time. 
• Insta pot makes beans in a matter of less than five minutes hands on time.  Dry beans cooked cost .05 instead of a can of beans that cost anywhere from .58 to over a dollar.   
• Rice bought in bulk and cooked costs .02 a serving.  Ready rice is about 2.50 for a four serving bag.
• Conversely, pasta sauce can be as cheap as .88.  It takes more to make it from scratch unless  you have a bumper crop of tomatoes from your garden.  
• Meatballs , especially with coupons, are cheaper to  buy than they are to make.
