How to never buy expensive kosher-for-Passover ice cream or sorbet again

One of my most important Pesach savings principles is to INVEST LONG TERM rather than SPEND SHORT TERM.  I'd rather spend $100 on appliances that will help me save $25 every single Pesach, than to spend that $25.

Kosher for Passover ice cream is ridiculously expensive.  But if the weather is warm, and your kids want a treat, and you have your kids' friends over, how do you give them a yummy dessert without breaking the bank?

You invest in a good ice cream machine.  Once.  And then you have delicious ice cream or frozen yogurt (with healthier ingredients that you control) for pennies on the dollar.

Amazon has got the Hamilton Beach 4-quart automatic ice cream maker for $23.33 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping.  This ice cream maker got an amazing 4.3 out of 5 stars over 448 customer reviews.  It is also an Amazon #1 Best Seller in the ice cream maker category.
