I bought all the main ingredients for these 7 dinners at Aldi and the cost was around $70–AND there were leftovers for additional meals. Personally, I prefer freshly prepared rice, so I end up with about a cup leftover each time. Prep a big garden salad using all your favorite vegetables that you find at Aldi.

Using coupons will save you money at the register, but using your food wisely is going to save you money as well! We wasted more food (produce, leftovers, etc. We ate more quick/convenience foods. I always find we have more food than we think and can usually count on finding a few things that I had forgotten about.

While I have success finding coupons in the Sunday paper and online printing sources, like Coupons.com for hygiene, paper, and cleaning products, food is another story. I don’t find too many coupons for foods that we eat and I only save about $3-5 in paper coupons on each weekly shopping trip, which is hardly extreme.

The first is to recycle leftover food, grass cuttings, and fallen leaves that might ordinarily end up in a landfill. Essentially homemade composting bins come in two shapes–with corners or without i.e. rectangular/square, or round. Basically there are two reasons to compost. Different Shapes. Not Handy With Tools?

This dish came together because I was trying to find a way to use up the rest of my kale, and I loved the texture it added. These single-serve bowls are a great way to use up small amounts of food and leftovers. The damp paper towel creates a little steam, and defrosting is a gentler way of reheating your food.
