Cheap homemade snacks roundup

by Jen

Over the years, we’ve collected quite a few recipes for making coffee-shop and vending machine inspired treats at home, much cheaper than buying them out. Here they all are, collected into one handy post.

1. Make a cheap mocha at home. I think these are just as good as what you can easily spend $4 on at a coffee chain. Even if you disagree, they’re pretty darn good and way, way cheaper.
2. Make your own instant cappuccino mix. From TipNut – I love this because you can take it to work or on the road.
3. Want some homemade marshmallows with your mocha or cappuccino?
4. Energy drinks. Why pay for some company’s TV advertising campaign when you can make these yourself?
5. Bake your own energy bars. Takes a bit of work, but the cost savings compared even to buying them in bulk is amazing. And you can easily tweak recipes to come up with your own unique creations.
6. Make your own frozen dinners. Even TV dinners are insanely expensive these days. It’s pretty easy to make your own frozen, microwaveable dinners with these simple steps.
7. Make your own lollipops at home. If you’re making them for kids, they can make up their own flavor combinations.
8. Make your own liqueurs. Make your own versions of Bailey’s, Kahlua, etc. Extreme cost savings here
