One easy way to save money is to make your own mixes instead of buying the ready made ones at the store.

This takes less than five minutes to put together and saves time and money! I figure this large batch of brownies costs me about $0.50 to make compared to the $2.39 or more it would cost in the store!

Just got done ordering that book from Amazon because of this post. As a working new mom, I love finding stuff like this to make life a little easier. I’m excited to try the brownie mix as well as the (apparently awesome) recipes in the cookbook.
