I have had a few Starbucks lattés in my time, and they are good. But, at more than $5 each for a soy vanilla latté, it’s not something I want to spend money on regularly. I can make these copycat lattés at home, for about 25¢ each! That is a savings of more than 95%….
Growing up in the Bay Area in the 1970’s, my parents shopped at “Canned Foods” which later became what we know today as “Grocery Outlet”. Back then, it was primarily canned foods as its name indicates. I still remember those huge cans of chili! There is an interesting page HERE about the inception and history…
Coupons are attractive…it feels like free money and of course we all want that! But are they worth it? The decision to use coupons or not is a personal one, and depends on the types of foods you want to buy. If you keep a Price Book, you can save a bundle on every item…
Spices are an item you can save a bundle on by recording and comparing prices in your Price Book. You can read my in-depth post about the advantages and How-To of The Price Book HERE. I buy common spices like cinnamon, ground ginger, onion and garlic powder, etc. at Costco, the Dollar Store, Big Lots,…

This is one of my favorite things to make, as it is so simple to make, yet tastes really good! It’s great with homemade baked tortilla chips, on all Mexican Foods, and to dress up tofu scramble. The ingredients are deceptively easy for how yummy it tastes! Bottled salsa can be expensive, and has that…
I have been making this a long time, and it’s one of my daughter’s favorite recipes! I used to make quiche with crust before I ditched the unhealthy ingredients, but this is fine without it! I seriously do not miss the crust. This recipe is also very adaptable, too. I have made versions with mushrooms,…
I have been vegan non-stop for the past 8 years and have never looked back! I’ve also been vegetarian for nearly 30 years. I was vegan (and stopped) for two years about 17 years ago. So, I guess you could say collectively, I have been vegan for 10 years. 🙂 I love to cook, and…
From Our Home to Yours… To All Creatures Great and Small, May We All Find Peace on Earth…. These fur babies are my two assistants at The Penny Pantry! I am spending Christmas Eve today with my family, and will be back posting the best plant-based deals tomorrow the 25th!
This is one of our favorite quick go-to meals. I can have this on the table in about 15 minutes. I’ll usually make this for dinner with a microwaved potato or toast, and fruit. Leftovers will make an appearance the next day for lunch. I like to warm up a couple of corn tortillas, and…
