Just 31 cents a serve!
School mum Rachael has shared her epic cook up that has saved her hundreds!
Posting her 250 piece stockpile of delicious home baked food makes us drool just looking at the pics.
Rachael said that she bulk cooked her enormous stockpile to save money, save on waste and eliminate the need to buy convenience foods.
“Today I bulk cooked kinder and outing lunch items. They will be easy to grab from the freezer… I calculated I spent about $75 on the ingredients which means about 31c per item. I think that’s really cheap.”, she shared.
We think that's really cheap too!
