Here is how to save 88% on cheesecake:

1. Buy a block of cream cheese ($1 on sale)
2. Buy a box of graham crackers ($2)
3. Spread cream cheese on graham crackers and enjoy.

"Allie, that's not really saving money on cheesecake. That's just a really ghetto way to eat some of the ingredients that are in an actual cheesecake."

But my method saves:
- calories, by eliminating the egg, butter and added sugar
- indirect mindless consumption, by eliminating having a cake hanging around in your fridge
- time, by not having to bake a freaking cake and then, of all things, having to wait for it to cool. IS THERE ANYTHING MORE TORTUROUS!??!?!
- money, if you don't feel like baking and you just can't force yourself to buy a whole cheesecake for $12.

Plus, a brick of cream cheese and a box of graham crackers will make more than 16 servings. So I'm really saving you from having to buy two cheesecakes.

Hence the 88% in savings.

(Ok, so it was 87.5%. I rounded up.)

(I felt like I deserved that .5%, though.)
