Currently I am having to order keto chocolate and it is terribly expensive, so I only get one small bite a day. It is amazing though how much good that one piece does for me. <br />There is just no doubt cooking from scratch is the way to go to save money. it is pretty easy to ketofy just about any recipe once you learn how the acceptable replacements work.<br />You are so spot on about making the spice blends. (Though I will always by Cavander's Greek Seasoning, Angelo's steak seasoning and Hardin's. They come in huge containers and last forever. We use all three all the time and as much as I have tried I can't duplicate them. In face they are such family favorites I send them when requested to Oregon and New York)<br />And Sluggy, look out!

Currently, Sam is obsessed with bagged caesar salad & greek yogurt with granola/bananas. I'm happy they are healthy choices, but when I've tired to get him to take a few minutes to assemble the salad, or scoop the yogurt from a large container to a bowl....suddenly, the fridge is empty. They are hopefully going back to school soon enough, and lunches will once again need to be packed & pre-planned. Maybe that will help.

Buying jewelry when I realized I wasn't wearing what I had, clothes was hung backwards on hangers, if I didn't wear them I sold them. I do have dried gravy mix in large bottles. I only use it when I want 1/2 cup of gravy for Hubby. I never was one for box or mixes. I always google to see if there is something I can make with what I have.We have gorilla glued shoes and boots, duct taped others. Did without, used it up, wore it out and went with out most of our younger lives. When the kids left home, we went a bit nuts on spending.
