Thats particularly true for condiments.
For example, a bottle of ketchup will last me months.
Making your own condiments is cheaper than an extra trip to the grocery store and definitely less wasteful.

That said, this recipe fromGrowing Up Gabelis great for a spontaneous wing night.

Mayonnaise
Youll see variants of this mayo recipe everywhere, but I like to keep it simple.
Its quick and easy, makes no mess and only costs about $2.60 for 26 servings.
The base is one part balsamic vinegar and two parts olive oil.
From there, feel free to leave out what you dont want and add in what you do!
Throw everything in a mason jar, shake it up and voila!
Marinara Sauce
This is another great mason jar recipe my family often uses.
Its great for pizza, pasta, bread you name it.

Although not strictly a condiment, this hummus is great on sandwiches, crackers, chips, etc.
Throw some extra spices on top, and you dont even miss the tahini!
Tzatziki Sauce
I love tzatziki sauce, but its not something I come across at the store very often.
Condiments are an easy thing to spend money on because theyre pretty cheap already.
But I think we all know that a couple dollars here and there adds up.
