What do you make homemade that saves you money?

Do you make your own cleaners, marinades, treats for the family, etc?

i make my own cleaners i no longer buy windex that kind of stuff. i do make my own treats i don't buy pre-packaged ones except for some chocolate now and then.

I've been making treats homemade for the past few months. I stopped buying them in January during the spending freeze. I don't know how much money it's saved me, but I calculated that my homemade pudding is less than the GV brand.

I make my own laundry soap, snackes, taco seasoning, breading (bread crumbs). I am making sun dried tomatoes this week. Going to try and dry some other vegs too.

As to the $ it save I don't know.

I make homemade cleaners and bread. Most snacks I make homemade also.

I make my own homemade cleaners (except once in awhile I will buy a bottle of pine sol but only at the dollar store!!) ...I have begun to make our own little convienance treats now that school is starting....I make my own bread crumbs...pancake mix....syrup....french fries....not sure how much $$ I save BUT I know all the ingrediants going into stuff and don't have to worry about chemicals or junk and if I run out in the middle of the night...I KNOW what to do without leaving the house!!!!!

how do you make your own laundry soap

i make my own cleaners....sort of...i use vinegar, baking soda, lemons and cream of tartar for cleaners.
i make our cookies, cakes and so on from scratch..i use to make bread but i gave that up as it did not taste very good.( i did NOT have a bread machine).

cards
birthday cakes
treats-cookies, cupcakes, muffins, etc
I used to sew all of the time but things are cheaper at the thrift store.

Pretty much anything that's food-connected. And I mean anything! I do have three exceptions: We usually buy bread, and I keep premade pie crusts and pizza crusts on hand. It's just so easy to throw together a quick meal if I have those, and on some days if I didn't and had the extra step of making the dough, rolling it out, etc., we would probably end up eating something more expensive (like take-out).
