This post might get some pushback, and that is OK. Frugality doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some things that I consider frugal might be more work than other families can handle. There may be things that I see as a splurge for someone else to do, but that helps them stick to their budgets in other ways.

One area where frugality can play a role is in making things from scratch. There is often high mark-up on pre-made or processed foods, so making those things from scratch can be cheaper in the long run. However, there are some items that I have just never considered to be worth making from scratch.

In some cases, these items taste a lot better than the store bought version, but the time and effort put into them is more than I’m willing to pay. Remember that money has value, but so does time. Below I’m going to share 10 foods not worth making from scratch (in my opinion) and give you an estimate for how cheaply you can get them at the grocery store these days!

To compare, here are some things I think ARE worth making from scratch.

10 Foods NOT Worth Making from Scratch

Tortillas

I have tried my hand at making tortillas in the past. They are always delicious. However, with the tools I have, I can only make one at a time, and rolling out the dough becomes tedious to make enough tortillas to feed my family. You can get a pack of 10 tortillas at Harris Teeter this week for only 84¢. While they may not be as good as homemade, it’s hard to beat that price.

However, if you want to give it a try, here’s a recipe.

Yogurt

Whether or not to make yogurt from scratch comes with a caveat. If your family eats a lot of yogurt, or if you have specific dietary needs (such as non-dairy), it MAY be worth it to make it from scratch. However, if you’re usually just buying regular yogurt at the store, it is probably not worth it to make it at home. You can get a 6 oz cup of Yoplait yogurt at Target for 60¢ this week, and the bigger tubs are often on sale for only a couple dollars.
