Here’s what we came up with: Make a New Recipe I know that cooking on a weekend evening sounds awful, and really, it is. But if you can make a new recipe that is easy or that you’ve never tried before, it can be a lot of fun. Baking something or making something sweet would also be fun. Still, it is.

Personally, if I don’t make a shopping list and plan my meals, my grocery budget is toast. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. I also buy apples in bulk from a local orchard and make Homemade Sugar-Free Applesauce to eat year round.

I use them regularly when we eat out at restaurants, and I will not shop at a department store without one, but grocery coupons are completely different for me. It so so nice to eat locally grown strawberries, peaches, and blueberries in the winter months. NOTE: only go for the best price per unit, if the size makes sense.

The smell persists in the office making me not want to eat there and this week I had several doctor’s appointments which threw me off track. I really miss the loaded baked potato for lunch. I did once again prove to myself that I can not make good decisions while eating out.

I also knew that I couldn’t completely stop from eating all the foods I loved. I needed to find healthier versions of those foods to make smarter choices when I was eating. The real key to eating healthy is to plan and that means setting aside time on the weekend to get weekday meals ready. These are just a few.

My interest in frugality is less about saving money specifically, and more about making good use of the resources I have. Making good use of the resources I have – not only money, but my health, physical abilities, skills, etc. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love. I have two!

My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. I also will pay more for some specialty food items, as I have several food allergies to deal with, and we eat a no-sugar diet. I also splurge on our cat’s special allergen-reducing food, which makes it possible for Ms.

Of course, the British climate isn’t always kind, but I’m pleased to say the weather recently has been glorious and I’ve been making full use of it! Career-wise while I studied biology at university I came out to find very few opportunities in my field. That meant no vacations, no new clothes, no eating out, nothing.
