Making things from scratch (or simply not consuming the gluten free/expensive versions of things) is often not considered.

Plus the ability to customize and include more premium ingredients as you pointed out, home cooking only makes sense.

Store-bought non-GF $4.50<br /><br />Pizza crust: Homemade GF $1.52. Store-bought non-GF $3.00<br /><br />30-36 cookies: homemade GF $6.39. Chips Ahoy $3.50<br /><br />There's a price difference with the cookies (unless I'm getting my numbers wrong), but the difference between a fresh-baked cookie and a store-bought Chips Ahoy is worth 10 cents a cookie, in my opinion!Mollyhttp://spruestory.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706374459042869519.post-59335293737964995492013-02-15T12:46:13.293-07:002013-02-15T12:46:13.293-07:00Do you want to grow your business by dealing with ...Do you want to grow your business by dealing with customers that don't go broke - then consider bidding for <a href="http://www.tendernoticeafrica.com" rel="nofollow">government tenders SA</a>.

BUT I wondered if I was paying more to do it my way. Glad to see it pays off. Plus, it always tastes better when you make it yourself!!! :) <br /><br />I really appreciate the info!<br />JanisJanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307549791490522679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706374459042869519.post-15529388951208700022013-02-13T08:41:19.819-07:002013-02-13T08:41:19.819-07:00Why am I not surprised you did this detailed, fina...Why am I not surprised you did this detailed, financial analysis of the store-bought vs from-scratch cost of GF baked goods?! Were you up until all hours of the night crunching numbers? Just the thought of that makes me cringe. <br /><br />Thanks for doing the heavy number lifting, Pete. Seems I remember you getting caught up in a similar numbers puzzle while focused on GF women triathletes and podium finishes. =)<br /><br />You're not only a numbers nerd, you also write well. Good (and rare) combo!<br /><br />Happy baking!<br />MelissaMelissahttp://www.glutenfreeforgood.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
