Frugal Living Today

Because I am about to cook dinner, here are a few random ideas for ways to save a little money in the kitchen:

1. Always make your own stock.  It tastes better, it is better for you and you’re already cooking the beef, chicken, ham or turkey anyway so it is nearly free.  Think about that the next time you buy cans of stock for fifty cents or more.
2. Save leftover fresh herbs by putting them in empty ice trays and filling with water.  Freeze them, pop them out of the trays and store in freezer bags until the next time you make a soup or stew.
3. Don’t waste your money buying convenience foods.  There are tons of recipes available for making these high dollar items yourself for pennies.  My upcoming ebook will have an entire section devoted to convenience foods.
