Today we’re meeting a reader who is an artist, a homeschooler, a boy-mom, and a renter by choice. I also want to have a sense of detachment from owning things, which is hard since I was raised by very acquisitive parents (my mom shopped for a hobby), so I am still unlearning those habits. Also, growing our own food.

Two dogs call me Mom: one Bluenose Pitbull (Krude Male/neutered) and one Rhodesian Ridgeback mix (Jewel female/ spayed). My dad passed away in 2022 and my mom lives in Oregon. Searching for information on food waste led me here. That’s easy, my mom and growing up in the PNW. How long reading the FG?

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.

Growing up, I remember my mom always sending me out to the composting bin with a bucket full of (what I thought was) gross bits and pieces of food waste. I never understood why anybody would want to keep all of that stuff, or why my mom sent me to the very back corner of our large yard with it so frequently.

We each received a set number of food points to use each week. We tried making meal plans for two week periods before going shopping, but that led to some food waste since we are sometimes hit with specific cravings and ignore the plan willy-nilly.

My fiance and I are hosting Christmas this year, which for me means that my mom and stepdad are driving from my home town to spend the week with us, and my aunt is coming from about an hour away to feast. This allows us to cash in on the savings without watching our money go in the garbage by food waste. Cutting Down.
