Unless it’s an exception, try getting into the habit of making baked goods from scratch at home. Buying cakes, muffins, cookies and cupcakes at the store is so much more expensive than making them yourself. Even though there are some ‘budget friendly’ cakes and other baked goods out there, you should know that these versions usually use artificial flavors, chemicals and other not-so-healthy ingredients in order to keep costs low. So it’s time to put on your apron and get baking!
