Frugal Friendly Foods: Pancakes For Only 3 Cents Each

Pancakes are a quick basic solution for an inexpensive meal. Get creative with toppings and ingredients; you might never get tired of saving money by making pancakes with basic ingredients.

In this video, Sam and I demonstrate our pancake-making skills. A little accident meant that we talk about how to package store-bought pancake mix in Mylar bags to extend the shelf life. We show you how to make a pancake mix from scratch as well as how to make whole-grain pancakes using a sourdough start.

We are big fans of Wallaby's Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. The quality is perfect for long-term storage. You can check out Wallaby Mylar bags at https://bit.ly/3fmgEqD. Use the promo code PROVIDENT5 for $5 off.
