You can freeze food in glass jars! Which is a me problem, not a freezing-food-in-glass-jars problem. I know we are all rather terrified of causing glass breakage…that’s a messy problem, and it also results in food waste because WHO is going to try to eat food that might have glass shards in it?

I did a good job of eating my fridge down Remember how I didn’t really go grocery shopping last week, and only spent $18 on food? A full fridge tends to encourage food waste because things get lost. The post Five Frugal (mostly tiny) Things appeared first on The Frugal Girl.

Searching for information on food waste led me here. The post Meet a Reader | Ginger from Texas appeared first on The Frugal Girl. (That’s part of the “life” issues.) How long reading the FG? I’m not sure exactly, but it’s been a few years. How did you get interested in saving money?

You''ll avoid all sorts of duplicate purchases and reduce food waste too. My girls and I were in Target last week shopping for school supplies. My goal during the pantry challenge was to shop our freezer and pantry to put together my weekly menus instead of only using the Sunday sales flyers. September Assignments: 1.
