When my babies were babies I would make my own baby food. Just make a little extra of what we were eating, throw it in the food processer, pour it into icecube trays and freeze. I would use ziplock bags and just grab a cube of veggies and a cube of meat. I would ask for half a cup of hot water when we went out or over to a friends house, drop in the the two bags and instant hot babyfood, and I knew exactly what was in it. I also used cloth diapers. And I still have them and use them for cleaning, dusting, instead of paper towels.
These days I like to barter my sewing/quilting talents for other things like haircuts.
