just curious

There is just the two of us.  I have been doing various internet readings on food prep and basics for quite a while.
For the home cooks out there, do you make your own catsup, mayo, bbq sauces?
Do you clarify butter, buy bulk meat and cut steaks and chops.
Make homemade pam spray, save veg cutoffs and  grow your own celery, tomatoes and pepper seeds and green onions.
Is this a waste of time? 
How long does this stuff keep refrigerated or frozen.
I plan do definately do tomato sauce, chicken and beef stock and freeze in baggies.
I do soups this way in the winter
I have trimmed and cut pork and beef tenderloins when on sale too.
I have frozen rotiss, chicken bones and frozen ham hocks for pea soup.
Chef, Cant buy veal bones in Goderich so going with other bones as per butcher, they aren't old tho.
