Tip 3: Bananas Breads and Muffins for Less

With banana prices going up a bit ($ .49/lb. is usually the cheapest and that's at Kwik Trip), it gets a bit more expensive to make banana breads and muffins. Also, my kiddos LOVE bananas, so for them to last long enough in our house to get really ripe is unusual.

Recently, I started checking our grocery stores to see which ones sell the overripe bananas at a lower price. One of the stores that I usually visit sells the overripe bananas for only $ .29/lb. So, I stock up and then freeze the bananas in groups of 4-6 (most bread/muffin recipes call for around 4-6 bananas).
