Cost Analysis: Homemade Key Lime Pie vs. storebought

Remember a few weeks ago when I posted about Key Lime Pie


I want to share a cost analysis of a homemade Key Lime Pie versus a store bought one.  It's a mind-blowing price difference!

Ingredients:
11 graham crackers, crushed with rolling pin or in food processor- $ .65
3 tablespoons granulated sugar $ .40
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted $ .56
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (12 to 15 key limes or 3 to 4 common limes) $ .75
4 teaspoons grated lime zest (included in above cost of limes)
4 egg yolks $ .40
1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk $ .89
*Majority of items purchased while on sale or at Aldi


Total cost of a homemade Key Lime Pie:  $3.65

Cost of a grocery store bakery Key Lime Pie : $7.99

Homemade is a considerable savings, huh?  It's worth having a few go-to dessert recipes so that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg when you take dessert to a potluck or have friends over.

Now you can have your pie and save money, too!
