Homemade Pita Chips

It is amazing to me to see how much money can be saved by cooking at home.  I'm lucky that Habibi is very aware and appreciative to the creative ways I'm finding to save a dollar. 

I find one of the most overpriced food products that's easy to make at home is pita chips.  The last time I was in the grocery store I checked and saw that one bag considered "party size" was $7.00.  We all know that those bags are mostly air anyhow.  

Pita chips at home are unbelievably easy and here's how.  

Brush pita bread with olive oil.  I like to use garlic infused olive oil.  Sprinkle sea salt carefully.  I say carefully because the pita will shrink and a little salt goes a long way.  Cut pita into eight pieces and place on sheet pan.  Bake at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes depending on your oven.  

Curious to see what the exact saving truly was, I did the calculations:

Pita $1.59 a bag (8 slices/bag);  I estimate that the equivalent to the store "party size" took 3 pitas.  Yep, my version cost 60 cents.
