I make almost everything from scratch. I enjoy working with my hands in the kitchen and prioritize health for my family. But not everything is a good deal to make, although it may still be healthier to make.

I get American cheese for $2.00 per pound. It took me a while to find this price. Most American cheese is at least $2.50 per pound or more, so by buying it at $2.00 per pound, I am getting a 20% return on my investment. That means that 20% of the cost of the cheese stays in my pocket.

Have you ever noticed that when you buy milk, it says something like, "Our dairy farmers pledge not to use cows treated with artificial growth hormones"? But there are a lot of cows out there that are treated with the artificial growth hormones; Monsanto makes sure of it. So where does the milk from these cows go?

Have you ever noticed that when you pick up cheese or yogurt, it does not say something like "Our dairy farmers pledge not to use cows treated with artificial growth hormones"? Thats where the milk has gone, at least that is my guess.

A gallon of milk makes about a pound of cheese. A gallon of whole milk, in my area, is $3.37. Im willing to pay extra for the nutritious milk fat, but we dont use a ton of milk because of the price. And we dont make cheese out of it because of the price.

Cheese making is a goal of mine that goes along with financial independence. Id love to have a cow or goat, or even both and make fresh cheese and dairy products. But right now, it is not a financially responsible thing to do. So this is something I dont make from scratch.
