A Mummy and Daddy Tip
Children can be expensive. I find alot of the expenses a little unnecessary and avoidable but there are a few things that are rather handy.
Today’s Penny Pinching post is about one of those handy baby things, handmade baby food storage containers. You know the ones. The tiny little containers that cost around $12 for a set of 12. And if you are feeding your little one only homemade baby food then you will be making purees every couple of days. Or paying a fortune for a tonne of little containers that you have to find somewhere to store when they are not in use.
I found these mini cupcake silicone trays in K-Mart for only $5 each, Bargin!
I spend an afternoon once a fortnight making up purees then freeze them in these. Once they are frozen they are really easy to get out because they are silicone and then I place the little blocks of frozen purees in labelled zip lock bags. When its meal time I just grab out a few blocks and zap them in the microwave. So easy!
And zip locked bags are much easier to store in your freezer then a tonne of little containers.
I got a small white plastic basket, also from K-Mart, for $2 and I stand them all up in the basket. It’s great to be able to just grab out the basket and also stops the zip lock bags from wandering around the deep freezer and becoming lost forever.
I hope that this tip saves you money and time as well :-)
