Money Saving Tips for People with Food Allergies

It is true that it can be a lot more expensive when you start living an allergy free lifestyle.  Here are some tips that can help you save money.

1. Stock up on items when they are on sale.  (I only buy the chocolate chips when they are on sale)
2. Cook as much from scratch as you can.  It is convenient to just use a cake mix, etc... Remember, you are paying for that convenience.  
3. Make your own mixes and keep them in the freezer to use when you are in a hurry.  This will help keep you from paying the premium price for those mixes that usually aren't as good as what you can make yourself.
4. Keep a journal of what brands you like and don't like.  When you are buying the allergy free foods.  Not all brands are created equally.  They all cost about the same.   Some mixes you will love, while others will taste like cardboard.
5. Research in advance what others are saying about products on the market.  If others love it.  Chances are that you will too!
