Another month of 2022 is in the books and another month of frugal-ing. My Frugal Shenanigans! Noone ate the leftover corn, so I cut it off the cob and put it in the freezer to add to our favorite, Chicken, Black Bean & Corn Tacos | Slow Cooker Recipe. This yielded 4 2-cup freezer containers, which is not a lot.

Monday Lisey’s last night here; I grilled chipotle chicken kebabs , which we ate on a green salad with the cilantro-lime sauce as a dressing. Friday I have some chicken thighs in the freezer so maybe I will do something with those for the two of us. The post WIS, WWA | with an attitude report appeared first on The Frugal Girl.

Monday I’d gotten a loaf of cinnamon bread out of the freezer on New Year’s Eve day, so I used some of that on Monday to make French toast, which we ate with whipped cream and berries. I think I might be better off buying a bag of salad greens and then adding my own toppings. appeared first on The Frugal Girl.

My days have changed a LOT since then, so here’s a peek at a day in nursing school. 6:30 I woke up, laid motionless in bed in the dark for a while, then checked my phone (I know, I know… the routine of champions.) 7:00 I got up, threw some clothes on, did a bare minimum hair/makeup thing, and ate a bowl of shredded wheat. 8:45 Test over!

This is very similar to the veggie prep frugal tip from a couple of days ago, but I found this on Pinterest and thought it was great! I know I always buy a small bunch of green onions or herbs when I need them for a recipe ingredient, and I end up throwing the extras out because they spoil super fast. Thanks, Lunch In A Box !

We were poor, Mom and Dad lived every day showing us what it meant to ‘make it do’ and we often ‘did without’ Here are my thoughts on frugal ways to make things do. Pay attention to expiration dates by organizing your pantry and freezer so that the oldest food is in front. Buy good clothing, used.

I found some great, green, natural alternatives to cleaning chemicals that you may have in your cupboard already. A couple of months ago, I ran out of kitchen cleaner in the middle of my big cleanup and didn’t want to use just water. I was on the computer for quite awhile after initiating that search, because what I found was alarming.

Check the seal around your refrigerator and freezer doors. This winter has been a brutal one with heavy snow and bone-chilling temperatures. Considering we’re only about half way done with winter, there’s still likely much more cold headed our way. Consider these areas: Sealing door cracks. Caulk cracks around windows and doors.

And I am proud to say that I have single-handedly eaten almost the entire container, largely by eating a bowl of greens with my breakfast. <3 Sunday Pulled pork from the freezer, on buns, with fruit on the side.

Not very frugal of me. How I Saved this Week: I bought 4 participating products and saved $4 off meat (no min. purchase). I stumbled on a stellar meat deal this week. Giant of PA offered $4 off meat if you bought 4 participating products. See below picture.) The best part was that there wasn’t a minimum purchase on the meat.

I did this by using a long, fine embroidery needle and one strand of black cotton embroidery thread. I now have a cute pair of shorts to wear under a tunic or dress.

Here is Emily’s question: I would like to know if you have any advice or tips for being frugal with food when living alone. You can embellish them by adding frozen or fresh veggies, or topping them with green onions, chives, or cilantro, etc. Most foods you buy in the grocery store are sized for 2-4 people. You just have to look.
