I love Sweet Baby Ray's, but gave it up a few months ago because the first ingredient listed is high fructose corn syrup. Ugh! Now I have to find a good homemade bbq sauce recipe.

But if you really want to be frugal, I would make it from scratch. Easy - 1 cup whipping creme, and 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Mix in a glass jar and 24 hours later, you have creme fraiche. (It does have to set in a somewhat warm area - in the winter I will bring it with me to work b/c I keep my house too cold - or I put the oven to 250 - turn it off after it gets there and leave the creme fraiche in there) I will do the math for you where I live: $4.00/ 8 oz (1 cup) carton creme fraiche (that is the cheapest - usually it is $4.50). For 1 qt buttermilk $1.60 + 1 pint whipping creme $1.75. That is $3.35 for 2 cups or 16 ounces of cremefraiche. I use it the leftover buttermilk for buttermilk pancakes. The homemade creme fraiche is just as good as the store-bought stuff. I love that creme fraiche, too. But if you really want to be frugal, I would make it from scratch.
