I had been buying balls of deli dough for 98 cents and I thought that was just dandy. And then I had no dough and DH wanted pizza. I decided to try my hand at it and... it was SO easy. I was astounded. The second time I made it, I added some Italian seasonings and garlic powder in the dough. *swoon* Yum. Even got the thumbs-up from DH. Only problem? Now he wants me to ALWAYS make it instead of buying it. ;o) Pizza dough. I had been buying balls of deli dough for 98 cents and I thought that was just dandy.

I make our own barbecue sauce, taco seasoning (cumin is the magic taco spice) and gravy. My son can't have any fake colors or MSG, so that pretty much blows any envelope mix out of the water. When I worked at a deli, we made fruit plates with dip. The dip was a package of jello powder mixed into a carton of cool whip. Yummy!

Thanks for sharing! I try to make as much as possible from scratch. Honestly I started doing it for health reasons-I wanted to know what my kids were eating, but the money saved is amazing! Take Care and thanks to your Hubby too for being so involved! Great list! Thanks for sharing! I try to make as much as possible from scratch.

But I thought I'd share a list I came across from Rachel Ray (I was really really sick last year and I couldn't ever eat... I lived vicariously through her show.. her food... oh.. drool..) Oh, sorry.. off track.. anyway, she has a list of "<a href="http://www.rachaelraymag.com/rachael-ray-grocery-checklist/article.html" rel="nofollow">on-hand essentials</a>" to keep in the kitchen and I always tell myself one day I'll have a nice pantry that I can stock up (right now my kitchen is so small I'm lucky to have a fridge/stove/sink).. (p.s... note to hubby.. good for you for being so involved in the site... nice to see, nice to hear ... talk my hubby? lol! :) ) I love to make homemade spaghetti sauce - yummmy!

Chocolate syrup, bbq sauce, ranch dressing, thousand island dressing, italian dressing/viniagrette, spaghetti sauce. I've also made apple butter, applesauce, jam, all sauces & gravies. I mostly make my items and refrigerate and freeze. I sometimes make spice combos too. There are a lot of good books out there on mixes & of course online. Kacie,
