Luckily I did some research and found some single serve ice pop options a while back.

I ordered three sets of Tovolo molds – you can read about these here. They cost me about $16 total, but have saved me much more. A box of ice pops costs at least $1, but that’s at a discount store. Usually $2-3 is typically. Since my son eats ice pops as if his life depends on it, that’s a lot of cash. Homemade cost nothing except ingredients and recently, I’ve only been using leftovers to make pops so it’s almost like spending no money. If you’ve got strawberries, squash, watermelon, bananas, yougurt, or carrots that are getting too old, you can make them into pops before they go bad.

All in all – homemade ice pops save resources, are gentle on the earth, eliminate trash, preserve leftovers, and can save you oodles of money. I’d say homemade ice pops are one of the best money summer savers ever.
