5. “Gingerbread” House
Estimated New Cost: $20–40*
Estimated DIY Cost: $5–$6*
The idea of a gingerbread house is overly literalized in this father joke. It raises the question of whether it is less expensive—a real house or this “Gingerbread House”? Four pieces of bread and a container of ginger are needed for the DIY-house project. The whole cost is between $5 and $6.

Certain kits for making gingerbread houses are far more costly. Even basic gingerbread houses (the kind you make with your kids while you’re confined inside so you don’t turn on each other) can be found on Amazon for $20 to $30. More complex gingerbread kits run between $30 and $40. Proceed with the dad joke option if you’re seeking to save money.
