Our friends over at WalletPop did an enviable experiment recently: They compared the cost of homemade versus store-bought ice cream.
The verdict: If you eat a lot of ice cream, and use pretty basic ingredients, you may be able to get a better deal by going the homemade route. But if you're not an ice cream fanatic, or only crave the tasty treat in the summer, you may be better off just shelling out for a pint of Ben & Jerry's or Haagen-Dazswhen the mood strikes you.
