I did a good job of eating my fridge down Remember how I didn’t really go grocery shopping last week, and only spent $18 on food? A full fridge tends to encourage food waste because things get lost. Well, that’s because we were busy eating up everything we had. So then when a little, “You’ve made a sale!”

Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. Eventually, when I was married and working at a library I ordered my own copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette–and I still have it!
