Cheap and Easy Pancakes

I just wanted to go ahead and make a post about a super easy cheap breakfast that I make all the time for my little fam. You can buy the great value brand of pancakes at Walmart for a little over a $1 for a whole box. The entire box seems to last my family of 4 at least a couple weeks. But the box of pancakes is not reclosable, so you might want to put the rest of the mix in a zip lock bag just to keep it fresh for longer.

I don’t follow the measurements on the back of the box, I just mix in enough water until it gets to the consistency that I like, which I think is a little thicker than normal. They only require water so its super super easy, and for me its nice because its easy for my kiddo to help if he wants to. They seem to cook perfectly in between med and med-low heat on the stove top. I also have a really great recipe for homemade pancakes but I will save that for another day when I am feeling more fancy.

He wanted me to take a picture of him while I was getting pictures of the pancakes.
