Hello everyone….hope you all had a nice day.   Hubby’s class was cancelled tonight so of course since he was home to help with baby, we made babyfood.  So are you sick of my talking about babyfood yet…LOL!!  I’m obsessed.   I wish I would have done this with my other children.   Ok…I am going to talk about it a bit..sorry!   Tonight I made carrots and more yams.   I have to give you my cost break down since I am so impressed with the savings!


Carrots – I bought a 5 lb bag at Sam’s Club for $1.98.
The bag made 70 TBS of babyfood, which equals 28 jars of babyfood at the store.   The jars are about 50 cents a jar, so that would have cost $14.00.  So I saved $12.02.  great deal!


Yams – I bought a bag at Sam’s the cost was $3.48. The bag made 56 TBS of babyfood, which equals 22.4 jars.  That would have cost $11.20 if bought in jars.  I saved $7.72.  Cool deal! 


So every time some asks me why I make my own food, the savings are a big part, but the biggest selling point is the nutrients and taste!  They actually taste good, more like the real thing!


Ok…I am done talking about babyfood now! 


My new reading list is out for my Internet BOOKMOMS reading group.

Have you read any of these??  Are they good??  I am currently actually reading the Expecting Adam…..it is pretty good. 


 


I suppose I should head to bed, I need to get up early and work a bit before Tommy wakes up for the day.  Tomorrow is my day to write service plans at home.  I hope to get at least 3 done, wish me luck .  I did get three done last week. 


 


Oh Yeah, before I forget I wanted to welcome a new subscriber and expectant Mommy Elizabeth_Gray.   I am glad you joined us.  There are a number of us that either have new babies or youngsters.  It is great to learn new ideas from others. 


 


CupOJava – Good luck on making those food cubes for your little man.   Yams and avocados are great starters.  And the best part is you don’t even have to cook the avocados.   International Gymnast  – hmmm…there is a bit we don’t know about you!     Your Secret is out of the bag now.  I always have to laugh, our lives are so parallel.  Now if you only lived in the same state we could share food cubes…LOL!!


 


I always want to comment to others that leave comments, but I think if I comment to them in the actual comment section they won’t see it, so I might blab at ya this way..LOL!!


 


KimmiesMommie – Keep the truck to yourself tomorrow morning.  Man, I am not adjusting yet.  I already had a nap this evening so now I am too awake…so I just keep typing!!


 


Stop me I need to go to bed!!!!!!!!!!!  Ok…that is enough blabbing…..Night!

  1. Wow, thanks for that little introduction! I’m actually thinking about making my own baby food, too. This is my first pregnancy, so I’m really new to everything. It will certainly be an exciting and learning experience! I’m so glad I’m able to meet people like you who share the same interests as me. 🙂

  2. Wow that’s a great cost savings.  I wish I’d persued it more with my kids.  Oh well.  I’m not having anymore.
