Save Money By Making Your Own Seasoning

Seasoning packets are a great way to add some flavor to your dishes but they can be high in sodium and contain ingredients you already have at home. Most of these ingredients you may already have in your spice rack but double-check for less common spices that you might need to pick up at the grocery store. Utilize your spice and herb cabinet by creating your own seasoning that you can customize based on your personal taste including a DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice blend recipe.
