I remember hearing this as kid! My grandparents, who were raised through the depression, saved everything! I know I can not save everything nor would I want too! However it is time that we start paying attention to how much we waste. Not just my family of 8 but us as a Country. We are very wasteful.
We have no dishwasher, so supper dishes can be a little ridiculous. LOL! So I started buying paper plates and cups a while ago, but there is so much trash after supper? Also cleaning up the table after supper made me realize how much food we waste!
I had the kids come back and finish there milk, and the babies never touched there Chili so I put it in a to go (reusable) container for Terry to take for lunch.
If the milk has sat out to long I use it to make Pancakes or muffins. I keep a jar (that I've recycled) in the fridge and keep filling it till I have enough milk to make pancakes.
I also am going to start with smaller portions at meal time. Its healthier and they can always have more if there still hungry.
I'm going to put together a list of inexpensive, time saving recipes soon. Last night we had Chili which was delicious but didn't hold a candle to the rockin' awesome corn bread i made! I'll tell my awesome cost friendly secret in my next blog!
Wishing everyone happy savings!
