Saving Money
Root Vegetables
Root vegetables are usually cheaper in the cooler months when they are in season with the exception of beets which are grown during the warmer months. Money can be saved by making this soup when you see these vegetables on special.
Even more money can be saved by growing the vegetables yourself. All root vegetables store well when kept in a root box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. See these guides to growing Potatoes, Carrots, Turnips or Beetroot.
Spices
Spices have a long shelf life of 1 to 2 years with their potency going down over time. Save money by buying commonly used spices such as cinnamon in bulk packs then put in smaller reusable containers for ease of use.
Cinnamon sugar is easy to make yourself. It is wonderful on toast or your favorite baked goods. Simply add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to 1/4 cup of granulated sugar then stir to combine. Place in a sugar shaker such as this beautiful Shaker on Amazon. (Paid link)
