The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 5, 2024

My mother was loving and worked so hard to provide for us, but it was frequently a struggle to get food, keep heat on, and other necessities. things on Buy Nothing first and then thrift stores or Facebook marketplace, so I found a good play kitchen on marketplace when my little wanted one. Out of necessity originally. Dinner is dinner!

We took an inventory of the food we have on hand and it is SHOCKING how much we truly have when we dig all the way to the back! Eat Leftovers Leftovers will become our close friends. We always *intend* to use our leftovers but they usually end up in the back of the fridge, to be discovered only when it’s too late.

Instead of using aluminum foil or plastic wrap to cover casseroles and leftovers, store the food in re-usable containers. There is an initial investment, but I have seen similiar containers at yard sales or thrift stores and at Bed Bath and Beyond where they regularly offer 20% coupons. I have 4 different sizes.

An easy lunch idea in one word: leftovers! Make a list of ALL your recurring subscriptions, everything from Amazon to Fab Fit Fun to Netflix, and everything in between. We did this and realized that we have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney +, and Sling TV—and my kids want HBO Max. 6 – Eat dinner at home.
