4-quart Hamilton Beach automatic ice cream maker for $24.71 (and why a home ice-cream maker is a frugal investment)

Why is buying a home ice cream maker a frugal choice?  Because ice cream can be pricey, and in the long run, this ice cream maker will pay for itself after about 6-8 uses (depending also on the cost of your ingredients). If a half gallon of ice cream goes for $4.50, and you buy ice cream three times a month in the summertime, that's over $40.00 that you're spending on ice cream at home each summer.

Why is using a home ice cream maker a better lifestyle choice?  Because processed food has a lot of garbage in it. If you make your own ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet or pareve dessert, you will have much more control over which ingredients you (and your kids) are consuming.

Amazon has got this 4-quart Hamilton Beach automatic ice cream maker for a very affordable $24.71 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping.  This ice cream maker received 4.3 out of 5 stars over a whopping 519 customer reviews.

I love the fact that you can make the ice cream in under an hour and that it's fully automatic (no stirring or cranking; I'm pretty lazy).
