Budgeting

Today's tip is on budgeting. budgeting is a good life skill to have. My husband and I have a budget, which consist of set amounts we are willing to pay. Bills come first, the needs, and then wants.
When baking for a large group of people you need to budget out how much it will cost. What I do is I write down all of the ingredients I will need as well as the amounts. I then go online or to the store and find out the price per ounce. I then go to a converter online to see how many ounces are in the amount of cups I need. From there I just do simple division to figure out the price per cup. Add the prices of each ingredients up and there is your budget.

Example:
2 cups of Flour
Flour is $3.38 per 10 pounds
2 cups = 1.04 pounds
$3.38 =10 pounds
$0.31 = 1.04 pounds= 2 cups
