Baby Food

On the fence about making your own baby food vs buying the jars?

Sams Club has food service cans of sliced peaches. They are 6 lb 10 oz cans for $4.87.
Baby food jars are approx .52 each for 2 oz.

6 lbs x 16 oz = 96 oz's + 10 oz's = 106 total oz's
106 oz's / 2 oz = 53 jars

53 jars x .52 each = $27.56 when bought individually.

So if each food service can of peaches makes 48) 2oz jars of baby food, you are saving $22.69 by pureeing the peaches and freezing at home.

Worried about the syrup? Rinse the slices off before freezing.

How about Pears?? 105 oz can for $4.37.
105 oz / 2 oz = 52 jars
52 jars x .52 each = $27.04 when bought individually.

Savings: 27.04 - 4.37 = $22.67 in savings.

Green Beans: 101 oz can for $3.06
101 oz / 2 oz = 51 jars
51 jars x .52 each = $26.52 when bought individually.

Savings: 26.52 - 3.06 = $23.46 in savings.

In those 3 cans, you have paid for your membership.

Why am I telling you this? Because I just got a new KitchenAid food processor that will puree anything!!
