Money Saving Tip #116: Lemon Juice

If you ever cook a recipe that calls for lemon juice, skip the fresh lemons. It is cheaper to buy lemon (or lime) juice from those small lemon juice containers that you see next to the fresh lemons in the produce isle at your grocery store. They are usually in a cute plastic container that is shaped like a lemon.

Plus, the juice lasts a lot longer than a fresh lemon will. The ones in my refrigerator expire in about a year from when I purchased it. I can cook several recipes from now with the amount of lemon juice that I have.
