Chicken about using chicken broth?

For at least as long as my daughter Millie has been around, I have used chicken bouillion cubes in place of canned or boxed chicken broth. This has been primarily to save money and secondarily to save space. It was fine for quite a while, it was cheap and relatively easy to use. I even split apart the cubes into fourths to make the fourth of a cup of broth that I needed for a recipe. I hadn't actually compared the sodium content, but I figured it couldn't be too different from the ready to use broth that comes in cans or boxes. I just checked, and the difference is 60 mg per cup (the prepared stuff is higher). Shocking! I always thought that those little cubes were mostly salt. Over the last six months to a year I have grown increasingly annoyed with the time it takes to prepare broth with the cubes. Not to mention the annoyance I have with getting those suckers to completely dissolve in boiling water! To buy the cheapest container of prepared chicken broth at Meijer means paying 37 cents per cup of broth. Bouillion costs around 15 cents per cup of broth, but requires thinking ahead in preparing a recipe and the effort of getting those pesky little cubes to dissolve. Six and a half months ago my daughter Millie Anne began to walk independently, with that came a lot more time on my part making sure she stayed out of trouble. I'd love to say that I don't have time to use bouillion cubes and toddlers require my use of prepared chicken (or beef for that matter) broth. Is my convenience worth 22 cents more per cup? I've tried using the prepared broth for the last two weeks, and I really like it! But a little thought is popping about in the back of my head that I should use the cheaper cubes in order to be a responsible home manager. It costs less and the sodium is a little bit lower, both good for my family. But the prepared stuff saves me time and aggravation, which helps food get on the table just a little faster and gives me time to check on what Millie is up to while I'm making dinner. Another little voice says, "Buck, buck buckaaah..buck, buck, buckaah...you're afraid to use prepared chicken broth...buck, buck, buckaahhh!"
Now what would YOU do?
