Today is the final day of our #NoSpendFeb challenge and we've learned quite a bit over the last month!
We plan on doing a post or video about it all, but we are so glad we did this. It helped us learn areas that need more work to be self sufficient for our family. It also helped us recognize areas where buying stuff is just unnecessary and is just consumerism that we learned from society.
We thought we'd leave this month's challenge with a simple way to eat better and cut some costs... baking your own bread. Its delicious, simple, and makes your home smell amazing. Nothing compares to freshly baked bread.
Ever wonder why store bought bread lasts for weeks? Things like sodium benzoate are added as a preservative to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Sodium benzoate can also be found in car engine coolant to prevent corrosion and also as a stabilizer when developing photos and its used to improve the strength of some plastics.
I bet making your own bread at home is sounding pretty good right now... lol.
