This morning I'm sharing with you my way to save money on that cup of chocolaty goodness. I'm NOT a coffee drinker, so I drink hot cocoa and hot tea when it's cold outside.
ALWAYS, when you shop, look at the price per ounce. COMPARE items even in bulk sizes. Sometimes the bulk actually costs more, or in my case, has added an artificial sweetener that I DON'T want. I make my own. I don't have time to heat milk and be all fancy and proper. I'm a home schooling, college attending, single mom for Pete's sake! Who's Pete? That's another story.. .already been told way back in history.
I already buy powdered milk. EWWWW, you say? Believe you me, I used to buy fresh milk from a local dairy and pasteurize it myself, I get it. BUT, I did the math and figure I get ONE GALLON FREE buying dry milk . Of course, I buy the huge box because it happens to be the least expensive PER OUNCE. If your store doesn't do you the courtesy of figuring this out for you and presenting it on the shelf near the item, it's okay you can do it yourself! Actually, in my local neck of the woods, Wal-Mart and Dollar General do this for me. THANKS!! waving....
Take the milk.... well don't TAKE it, just think about it. If it costs $ 14.00 for the big box and it has 64 ozs then do this math. I prefer the handy calculator while in the grocery store.
Type in 14.00 divide by 64 =.21875 this means COST PER OUNCE. You can figure what it costs to re-hydrate etc etc etc until the cows come home.. Did I mention that I love puns? snicker....
I heat up my water in a HotPot super fast boiling machine. Gotta love that thing and I got it new in the box at GoodWill for five bucks!
I add one T. sugar, 1 t. cocoa powder (more if I want a more dark chocolate flavor), and 1 T dry milk powder and STIR. WhaLaa!
It's NOT the best but you can adjust and save money doing it.... Have a great day and tell me how you saved money doing it!
THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH IT COSTS PER UNIT....then make yourself eat only one portion/serving and don't hog the entire box of cookies. That won't save you money... : P
