Saving Money On Food With The Sunbeam Pie Maker
When it comes to spending money the thing that I least like to spend it on is food.
I am not too sure why this is. Maybe its the temporary nature of food: it’s here one day and gone the next. Or maybe it’s because you have to buy it so frequently. No matter what the reason, it was the first place that I looked to when I was trying to cut my spending and save more money.
That’s not to say that I am starving myself. I like food, it’s just that I used to spend so much money on it and I am sure I am not the only one.
Already, two of my posts for this site include ways to save money on food. Both posts - How To Save Money When Dining Out and Looking For Ways To Save - showed easy ways in which you can save when eating away from home.
But there are ways to save money when eating at home as well.
About 3 months ago I bought a Sunbeam Pie Maker. It has been siting in my bedroom (of all places) gathering dust, but today I finally took it out of the box and read the instructions. It also came with a small book crammed with yummy ideas and recipes for pies.
I used to own one of these about 10 years ago and I loved it then, just as I am sure I will love it now.
The great thing about the Sunbeam Pie Maker is that it can make more than just pies: it makes damper, muffins, quiches, both savory or sweet pies and even cheesecakes. The thing is brilliant! But it can also save you money.
By making your own pies you don’t have to buy them from the corner store or frozen from the supermarket. And it’s ability to make a variety of different types of food will leave you spoiled for choice and richer in the pocket.
The best thing about it though is that your can pretty much throw anything into the pie you like. It’s great for finishing left-overs from the night before and you can readily freeze the pies for weeks at a time.
I know this post sounds a lot like a plug for the Sunbeam Pie Maker but I don’t care. The thing is truly a gift from the Kitchen Gods. And now that I have mine all set up I will be using it regularly to not only make myself some tasty pies (or damper, muffins and quiches) but also to save money.
Have you got a Sunbeam Pie Maker? Is there any other kitchen product you use that saves you money?
