Boxed baking mixes
Sure, boxed baking mixes for items like pancakes or cakes seem much easier and more convenient, but in reality, they're really not. Most just contain a mix of things like flour, sugar, and baking powder (along with a slew of preservatives and other difficult to pronounce chemicals), and you can very easily mix that up on your own at home.
The healthiest and cheapest way to bake is to buy baking staples like flour, sugar, and baking powder separately, then mix them up yourself. Plus, they taste better!
