Except in a two person household where one is a little kid,  it would go bad before it can be eaten. It's cheaper too buy the finished product.  As a single moms with a young child, I quickly learned that it often cost less not to make homemade because the cost of ingredients was more than a single finished product.[/quote]

[b]No that's ridiculous.[/b]  All those items are pantry staples. They don't go bad (well the lemons will eventually but you can just buy one at a time.)

You just make a batch of hummus each week.  The olive oil, tahini and chick peas all last a long time in the fridge (opened tahini) or on the pantry shelf.   [/quote]

No your ridiculous.

The items are not pantry staples for a single mom with one kid on a serious budget.  They are products meant for one single recipe and are a splurge. The only item from the list I keep on hand is olive oil and it's a product that lingers in my cabinet for a year or more and still isn't used up. It's really hard to understand that when you have never lived it so instead of arguing why not accept that someone else simply has experience in this area that you don't.

I also love the suggestion for making homemade hummus because I am sure the OP has time to do that along with roasting that chicken another poster mentioned  :D

Aldis is a great suggestion and sticking with easy to make and basic is the best way to go - things like Grilled cheese, baked chicken and steamed veggies, pancakes, mac n cheese, etc.  They actually have a decent hummus as well for $1.99.
