The Pinching Your Pennies forums never cease to amaze me!

PYP members seem to be an endless source of valuable information.

Yesterday I stumbled across a discussion about cooking from scratch for healthier living. In that discussion there was an idea for making your own vegetable broth powder (think boullion, without the shiny gold wrapper!) that I knew I HAD to try.

I’m so glad I did! Would you believe that this little pint jar of powder will make the equivalent of 73 cans of vegetable broth?

It only took about 5 minutes to put together, and I had all but one of the ingredients in my spice cabinet.

Thanks to a great forum full of folks who are eager to share their tips and resources I am fully "stocked" on veggie broth for awhile.

What’s not to love about this idea?

~73 fewer cans to store.

~73 fewer cans to dispose of or recycle.

~No MSG.

~Massive savings!
