Is it worth making your own pouches??

Today I went to Costco and picked up some organic food to make for Little man. Up until now, I have puréed all of his food and froze it into ice cube trays. But, I received a squeeze pouch maker at my baby shower and I decided it was time to try it out. 

This is the one I received. 

I bought some organic butternut squash and apples at Costco and decided that butternut squash, Apple, and couscous would make a good pouch. I steamed 7 apples and the 2lbs of butternut squash with 1/2 cup of couscous. I probably could have used more couscous, but that's all I had in the pantry. 

Apples all peeled and ready for steaming. 

Steaming the butternut squash. 

All blended up and ready for the pouches. 

Making the pouches. 

All finished and labeled. 

So here is the cost break down I figured out:

$4.93 bags

$5.49 apples

$4.99 butternut squash

$1.00 couscous. 

I made 17 pouches (between 3.5 - 4oz each) and each pouch cost me $.965 to make. If I had purchased the bags online for cheaper it would have dropped my price to $.895 per bag. Now, knowing that you can buy these pouches at the store from a $1 - $1.50 the big question is, is it worth it to make your own. 

Is it cheaper to make your own? - Yes

Is it worth the time it takes to make the pouches? - Depends on the person...
