Baby Bullet

MrsThirdBird

Hello! To anyone who has the baby bullet, do you know about how many ounces one of the little storage cups hold?  I am going crazy I've looked through the  instructions and on the  box  and cannot find that info  

 

Also, any specific foods that people have found financially worth making vs. buying.  We've found bananas really easy time wise and seems worth it $$ wise. Made some apples this morning but it  took a long time and it seems like it didn't make nearly as much as we could have bought for the same $.  Interested in others opinions of what has brought savings.  Thanks!

The cost of fresh produce is going to depend on where you live and the time of year. Where I live, a lot of fruits and veggies can be expensive in the winter.  I was able to make a large amount of baby food at a cheap price with sweet potato and butternut squash.  Bananas are cheap too.  Other things are not as cheap, but I usually buy lots of fruits and veggies anyway and I just puree a little of the things that we eat.

I have no idea how big the storage jars are, but I have been going crazy trying to figure it out as well so I'm glad you asked!!

I have made avocado & sweet potatoes so far with my bullet, but since DD didn't like the avocado I was worried about some other new foods too so I bought pears, apples, and peas just because I couldn't see myself putting in all effort for those and then being upset if she didn't like them! We've only tried pears and she did like them so next time I will probably make them. Our next things to try are carrots and butternut squash which I will make with the bullet.

2 oz if you fill it to the white date band... about 2.5 all the way to the top.

 

Squash, sweet potatoes, frozen peas, frozen peaches, frozen broccoli.. all a good deal! We just buy a regular jar of musslemans natural apple sauce, it's just apples and water, no sugar or corn syrup.

I think the cups are 2 oz. We make apples, pears, butternut squash, peas, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes. I'm sure there are more but that's what I think of off the top of my head. Avocado, bananas are things I just make without the bullet.

Carrots, green beans and peas are probably the easiest to make becuase there is little prep. I don't only do it for the cost savings but for the taste and to limit the amount of preservative stuff he gets. He has jarred food at daycare but I think jarred baby food smells gross. Also I've mashed up chicken breasts and pork. I've made a pork roast with veges and thrown it all in the bullet to blend for DS.

Thank you everyone for all of the helpful info!  I looked on the baby bullet website but totally missed the spot where it said 2 ozs.  I must need some extra zz's.  It is helpful to know to look for apples in the regular grocery aisle. I hadn't thought to do that and the gerber jars seemed expensive for something so simple.  Will check that out next time we are here.  Thanks all!

Made avocado today... the book said that one avocado makes 8oz, and in another section of booklet it says that one avocado uses up 4 bullet containers, hence a bullet container holds 2 oz.

LOVE the baby bullet!

I like it because I know literally the only things in LOs food is water & the fruit/veggie, no preservatives. Plus I often buy the fruits for myself so sometimes I just use leftovers to puree for her. I find it quick & easy. Love mine.
