Do you buy the seasoning packets from the grocery store?

I am sure most people buy the seasoning packets from the grocery store. I know I have! What most people do not know is that they are very expensive and are loaded with Sodium. If you are trying to save money, why not make your own.

For instance Taco Seasoning can be made at home for a fraction of the cost. I make a batch of this recipe and keep it in a plastic container in my cupboard. When I am making taco's I just grab a few tablespoons of this mixture, 1/4 cup of Ketchup and a 1/4 cup of water to a pound of ground beef. Taste delicious and saves money.
