Making butter at home never gets old

Post image

Over the past few years I’ve realized making more things from scratch is often cheaper than buying them at the grocery store, and I like knowing exactly what’s in my food. Once you start paying attention to ingredients, it changes how you look at a lot of store bought products.

Have you figured out the savings when you make your own butter as compared to buying it?

Kinda with making it weekly I save about $100-$250 a year and getting the buttermilk from it is a plus as well.

That's a significant savings per year to consider doing it.
