Frugal Living Tip of the Day for May 8, 2008
Frugal – It isn’t just for breakfast anymore, but it is entirely possible to be frugal and eat a healthy breakfast at the same time. In fact, you will find that you feel better and are more productive if you do eat the first meal of the day in the morning.
- Oatmeal is your friend. Not only is it inexpensive, it has tons of health benefits, including lowering bad cholesterol. It is simple to prepare and doesn’t take much time, either.
- Trent at The Simple Dollar offers several frugal breakfast food options that are cheap and delicious. I especially love the Swiss Breakfast mix.
- There’s nothing quite like homemade pancakes and waffles, but who has the time to prepare the mix, cook them and then eat? One of the most common sense tips I ever discovered was to make a big batch and freeze them. Frozen waffles that you made yourself are healthier and much less expensive than the prepackaged fare offered in the frozen food aisle.
Look for more frugal breakfast ideas next week! Have one to share? Send me a comment and it may just find its way into a future post!
Hi Friend!
I just started my blog here, http://unemployment.today.com/, about my current bout of joblessness, and I’ll tell you, one of the first things I did after losing my job was getting a huge thing of oatmeal! I add ground flax seeds to it for added protein (you can get a pound of it for like 2.50), and splurged on crushed walnuts, too. All to make it even heartier! I’ll definitely be checking back, here - Until I can get something going for myself, I’ll have to be as frugal as possible!
Thanks for visiting, and for the ideas!
