Price Comparison of Home Baking vs Store Bought / How I Save over $2,000 Annually 

Love the fact you price everything out for us all here in Cheaper Ways channel land 👍

A handy tip for time stressed people would be a time line. I am retired so not a problem for me. I have a lass who does my cleaning and I am teaching her home to do quick home made because she has 2 toddlers and this is something other “grannies/grandpas” could help with and children love to be involved. Before I moved I spent 2 years doing garden to table with children then sitting down to eat together and the pleasure and pride on their faces was amazing 😊

Thankyou, just came across your channel, from Australia. You are very kind to work all that out for everyone, may Godbless and protect you and your family with abundance of all you ever need.❤🙏

Yay a kiwi baker. i still bake all my bread, hamburger buns, pizza bases and focaccia mostly because they taste so much better, but also a lot cheaper. I use my bread maker though, to do all the kneading. I don't think I would be so enthusiastic if I had to knead it all myself.

I make homemade bread and it probably doesn’t work out cheaper as I always add some sort of seeds , the way I look at it it tastes better , it probably healthier and it is chemical free , I also make most things from scratch .

Thank you Sarah. You did a lot of good work budgeting out all your baking items. The savings between shop bought goods and home made is astronomical. You have no doubt, saved many families who take your info on board serious savings. Also, thank you kids. ❤❤

You’re so right about the sugar. For years we’ve preserved home grown peaches using the Edmonds pound of fruit to a pound of sugar recipe. Three years ago we stopped using sugar at all. Just use the natural syrup from the cooked peaches…. No failures!

Popcorn is one thing which I don't understand why able-bodied people don't make at home. Here in rural Australia I bought 1 kg of organic popping kernels for $6.99. That far outweighs anything prepackaged. I'm not including buying popcorn for snacks when on holidays.

Love these comparison videos, maths is the best part. Savings are very real and most of us could do with saving dollars and wastage. Thanks, a great video 😊

Wow, that was a mammoth task. Thank you so much for all the amazing work and your Recipe's one of which I have baking now. I no longer preheat my oven when baking bread and no longer 2nd proof it and it seems to proof it as the temp rises to full temp. This has cut down on the time it takes me to make a loaf. Thanks again.❤

Cheaper, better tasting and healthier! You know exactly what's in it with no/minimal chemical preservatives, emulsifiers, colors etc! Thanks Sarah for an informative video 😊

Hard work Sarah, well done. Baking at home has always been cheaper and you just proved it, again. You’re a star. I do appreciate you doing the math, cos I’m no good at it.

Hi well done thanks your awesome

What an awesome, informative well detailed and inspiring video🙌 Homemade is not only cheaper buy waaaay more yummIER😂. Thanks Sarzie❤

Cracking vid, Sarah.

Something I've done a lot recently to make use of spare oven space is to bake a couple of kilos of whole sweet potatoes. Put them on some baking paper in case they leak. A tip I found is that in supermarkets, the "nice small" sweet potatoes are not cheap. But at my local Asian grocer, the "big giant enormous" sweet potatoes that no-one wants are as low as $2 a kilo! I guess you can get Kumera pretty cheaply in NZ. Here in Sydney, Kumera is in the "special fancy bougie imported section", where organic Kumera is AUD$12/kilo. Crazy! I can get pork shoulder for half that if I flirt with the lady at the Vietnamese butcher! (Although if I eat any more pulled pork this month, I'm going to go mad. Either that, or I'll have to start dating her daughter if I don't want to pay $30/kg for oxtail).

You are an inspiration I love your recipes and ideas. Have shared to my newsfeed and asked people to share it round they may help someone... Thank you for your time and making these videos...❤

Thank you Sarah 😊 this is wonderful 💜 Im getting a lot more into baking now because of your videos. Thank you so much for all you do 😊. I have never been great at saving but this stuff helps a lot.

Great video. Great to watch your family busy in thekitchen. I do bake my own bread. In the beginbing I started after one day I came from the store and looking for bread in my shopping bead I found it on the bottom of the bag and it was just a bread ball as it was very 'fresh' and this was a result. I thought , what the heck is this bread made of. Of course cost of homemade versus store brought are also in favore of store bought are as you pointed out a re signifi cant . Thank you for your effort. Cheers

When I bake I heat highest temp needed and then often don’t need to turn it on again

Heaps less packaging also. Which saves huge amount of rubbish even if you recycle everything you can including soft plastic

Enormous work compiling all that. I love fresh bread, even when it is basic. Store brought bread rarely has "luxury" ingredients like butter. I would look at the electricity meter. It's there to give ready to use numbers. Ensure that the fridge doesn't run for the duration of the baking, and everything else can be stopped without discomfort. If you run a kitchen light and a mixer, that's part of it and doesn't need to be subtracted.

We're gluten and dairy free because of allergies. Wraps are the one thing that are awful homemade (gf and df) so I'm currently paying AUD$8 for 5 gluten free wraps.
