    Default I cannot make _____ cheaper than I can buy it.

    I know there are a few things that I can't make cheaper than buying ready made.

    I can't make mac & cheese cheaper than the boxed mixes.
    I can't sew a skirt cheaper than I can buy it, esp w/ thrift stores and garage sales.

    Others?

    I can't make pizza, clothes, and play doh cheaper than I can buy it. That's all I can think of at the moment.

    I can't make clothes (most times) cheaper than I can buy them. Especially baby and child outfits.

    Mac and cheese here too, cheaper to buy the mixes

    I will have to keep thinking. Good question.

    I can't can most veggies cheaper than I can buy them on sale. Even though I have my jars and rings, the lids and other supplies cost more than the veggies do at the store (but they aren't as good.... )

    Same on the mac and cheese. I agree with pizza too unless I get EVERYTHING for it on sale. I get most of our clothes from garage sales or on clearance, so I can't make them cheaper!

    Dog food and cat food are cheaper to buy too.
