I did get some Hamburger Helper on sale and have been using that up a little bit at a time. I did some research to find these mixes that you could make yourself. Here are a few below. Also, see my post here for an update of the dish washing detergent.

I found another link that I like about Hamburger Helper Mix in a jar. Check it out here.

That is pretty fun that we both had the same idea! Thank you so much for linking back to my post. I'll do the same for you.
