Applesauce Cups

My kids love applesauce, and like most kids they love when they have it in those tiny disposable containers.  I don't like the price, so I cut a couple corners to make me, my budget and my picky kids happy :)

I prefer to but all-natural (no sugar added) or organic applesauce - which is even more expensive! Typically a 6 pack of pre-packaged applesauce runs about $2-3 dollars (I'm stretching the $2 price - that's on sale or with coupons) but I can buy an entire jar for about $2.  So I take out my trusty mini Tupperware cups (measure out at 1/2 c.) and fill em' up and toss in the fridge.
 They're easy, they're convenient, they're even kinda cute.  Plus we re-use the Tupperware so we lessen waste.  I can usually get at least 8 cups out of a 33oz jar which comes out to $.25 a cup whereas the pre-packaged run us about $.42 a cup.  Savings + happy kids = happy mommy and money in the bank!
