Mmm... yogurt


Homemade yogurt, in fact.  It may not look quite as pretty as store-bought, but it sure tastes better!  This is  1 1/4 gallons of yogurt, which we'll probably have to share with the chickens because I don't know that two people can eat a gallon of yogurt before it will go bad.  I'm always amazed how easy and cheap it is to make homemade yogurt.  Here's the breakdown...

1 gallon whole milk - $2.25
2 cups dry milk - $ .50
Yogurt starter - Free if you saved a bit from your previous yogurt batch.  Otherwise, $.50 for a plain yogurt.

That's it!  The only other thing you need is a Tupperware container large enough to hold your milk, a heating pad and about 12 hours for it to sit.

TOTAL: $2.75 / 26 - 6oz servings = 10 cents per serving.
