[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yoghurt is so cheap at the supermarket that I never found it worthwhile to make at home. I did try with the instant pot and even bought one just for this purpose but realized it was saving me a few dollars a week...

I rarely ever eat out and that's where the real savings come in. I also stopped getting coffee/cappucinos out when COVID hit and that has been serious savings. [/quote]

Not to save money but I do like to save on getting plastic tubs. We can get milk in returnable glass jars. But again, not necessarily cheaper.[/quote]
How is it not cheaper and better to make at home? A value-size 32 oz (plastic) container of yogurt is going to cost $4-7, around the same price as a 64oz container of milk. Making it from scratch will give you close to twice the amount of yogurt for the same price (depending whether you are draining your whey), plus you at home you can use reusable glass containers so you cut down on waste and plastics.

The savings in $$ and food packaging waste are much greater if you are comparing homemade vs. individual-sized store bought yogurt, plus you get to control the sugar levels. [/quote]
