First, I'd like to state that I didn't decide to make Roy's food myself out of any desire to save money, but out of a desire to feed him better and with more variety. Hell, Gerber only has 10 different varieties of fruits and veggies on offer. Just in the four months I've been feeding him solids, I've introduced him to 21 different varieties.
But I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations this morning, and even with an initial investment of about 100 dollars in equipment (food mill, storage, etc), I'm saving over 500 dollars a year making Roy's food on my own. The savings go up next year, since I won't have the equipment investment to add in, either. That makes me feel pretty smug, especially when you take into account that I haven't even touched the enormous savings I've gotten out of breastfeeding over formula-feeding.
