Thrifty Living Tips and Tricks
-On Spaghetti Night
I will reserve 1 cup of spaghetti sauce to use on pizza night.
I also only use ½ lb of ground sausage in my sauce. I save the other
half for meatloaf night.
-On breakfast night I will be doing
pancakes and bacon. Making extra pancakes to have during the
following days for breakfast is always smart! Just store in your
fridge or freezer and microwave for about 1 minute and eat on busy
mornings. I store mine in gallon size freezer bags. Rinse them out
when you are done and use again!
-I will also save leftover bacon on
breakfast night to use in my broccoli salad. Saving leftovers and
preparing ahead saves you time in the kitchen throughout the week!
All of my tips and tricks are ones I have learned from Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half with America's Cheapest Family
. This book is my thrifty living bible :)Also check out my posts on Cutting Your Grocery Bill in Half, What to Budget for Groceries, living on $14,000 a year, Costco on a Budget, How I Do Fresh Produce All Month, and How to Start Saving $ Now.

I love planning meals like this. This week at our house we're basing meals around some Farmer's Market Fresh lettuce & a few tomatoes. Last night was Chicken Cesar Salads, tonight will be Taco salad with left overs on Wednesday. We'll probably finish out the week & the lettuce in a salad as a side dish for homemade lasagna. I also take leftovers for lunch each day. Saves a ton of $$. Thanks for all your inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteyum! I love salads!
DeleteI love the idea of broccoli salad but I'm the only one in the house who will eat it! I don't get the broccoli hate :p
ReplyDeleteoh bummer what is with the broccoli hate? IT is so yummy! :>
DeleteGreat ideas, thanks! We do the same thing you do with the spaghetti sauce, but I never thought about using a little sausage to make my meatloaf less boring!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely gives the meatloaf and new yummy taste. Sometimes we do leftover BBQ sauce on top too. That is delish!
DeleteI'm new to your blog, but I'm learning so much! I do have one question: do you factor in your household items to your grocery budget? Ie paper towels, laundry detergent, etc.
