Why I finally gave up on store-bought pie crust for good

I used to buy those pre-made crusts from the grocery store every time I made a pie. Didn't think homemade was worth the hassle. Then last Saturday I tried a recipe from an old cookbook my grandma left me that had a tip about using ice cold butter and a fork to mix. The texture was SO much better, flaky and buttery instead of that cardboard taste. I measured the cost too - it came out to about $1.50 per crust versus $3.50 for the store ones. Has anyone else switched and noticed a big difference?

That's a solid point honestly. Homemade crust is just way better for a fraction of the price.

Yeah totally! Tried store brand yeast and it worked fine honestly.
