For Easter, we were able to cut the cost of our dinner by doing some things that we will repeat for Christmas: Bulk Shop. I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco. Being that there are only two of us in our household, we never use up bulk groceries before they go bad, making it a wasteful endeavour.

Our consumer-driven society is one that results in a great deal of waste. From food waste to packaging to disposable items, there are a lot of resources being used by humans. This consumption of resources — and the waste it produces — is not sustainable. Preserve Some of Your Food. Nor is it healthy.

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 28, 2022

of Agriculture, a US family of 4 discards around $1500 a year on food waste. Imagine saving your family’s budget $1500 a year just by being more aware of your food waste and taking action to stop it. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste.

And I am more conscious of eating leftovers and avoiding food waste. It’s healthier, and when eggs were incredibly expensive, it was much more economical (still is since I buy flaxmeal in bulk). I’d like to grow our own catnip for Mr. Clark! How has reading the Frugal Girl changed you? I make bone broth now!
