Something that I’ve found throughout all of my trips to the many different places I’ve visited, is that food is always a cost that is hard to contain. After all, you’ve got to eat!

OCTOBER 30, 2023

How long have you been reading The Frugal Girl? I found the blog looking for frugal recipes. Somehow, I was watching a video of Korean YouTuber Maangchi making something she called a frugal Korean dish, which made me think that I probably should look for more frugal recipes to save money on expensive ingredients.

Smart Grocery Shopping. Skip the pizza and constant eating out. Make regular trips to your local grocery store for dietary staples and fresh produce for a healthy diet that won’t break the bank. Avoid the frozen and prepared foods sections–these are not the bargains they appear to be.
