It’s cold out, so we idle our cars for longer periods of time to get them warmed up and then idle while we wait for somebody else to make us food so we don’t have to get out of the car. Food Waste Doesn’t Have to Be Inevitable. The amount of food waste that goes on at this time of year is shocking.

Lean into cheap meals. Avoid meals that require pricier ingredients , and lean into budget-friendly meals. If I wanted to save money quickly, I could probably get that down to about $300 by focusing on cheap meals. Dining out, fast food drive-throughs, and Starbucks all have to stop.

Instead of pouring your money straight into the trash, try to make a conscious effort to only buy the food that you will actually use. When you are cooking a meal or serving up some food, try to put only the amount you will eat on your plate – you can refrigerate any left overs and use them for another meal!

Limiting waste is what really drives most of the habits I have that would qualify as “frugal” – reducing/eliminating food waste, returning unneeded items, pursuing refunds, checking on warranties, repairing things, etc. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love.

I love entertaining guests, and cooking is no exception. We’ll be purchasing everything except for the turkey in bulk (brussell sprouts, potatoes, cranberry sauce or fresh cranberries, bread for stuffing, etc) and then dividing it so that none goes to waste. I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco.
