Prairie Eco-Thrifter

For Easter, we were able to cut the cost of our dinner by doing some things that we will repeat for Christmas: Bulk Shop. 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. I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco. Cutting Down.

Consistently using things you already have not only saves money but also prevents food waste. Throwing food away is throwing money away ! After looking at what I have on hand and what’s on sale, I come up with a few ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In fact, I recommend food prepping over meal prepping.

It’s easier and more affordable to stretch dinner the night before and pack leftovers for lunch than it is to buy extra groceries to pack lunches. Not only will you save money on groceries, but it also helps prevent food waste. These days, you can watch anything you want on streaming platforms, even network shows.

Of course, dinner reservations, booking tours, and purchasing tickets should be done in advance. Lunch menus usually have the same menu items as the dinner menu but with smaller/more realistic portions and lower prices. I’m passionate about food waste, and dinner portions are too much, bringing me to my next point.

The Frugal Girl

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. days I was there – I only needed to eat out for 2 dinners during the whole trip.
