We ate on less than four dollars a day each last year and grew a stock in the pantry. We ate well .
- Classico pasta sauce on sale is a good bet becaise it comes in a jar that takes a canning lid. I wouldn’t use it formcanning, but it works for dehydrated things and can be used with the food saver. Canning jars can cost a dollar alone.
- Roma tomatoes have more ‘meat’ and less seeds. They are often cheaper too.
- Canned diced tomatoes can be drained as used in dishes that cake for tomatoes, save the juice to add to soups or chili.
- Winco canned food has no BPA.
- Fresh corn on the freezer is better for you than canned corn
- Soups are a good way to s t r e t c h a little meat.
- The less ready made food you buy the better - less preservatives, less money, and just better.
- Peasant bread is four ingredients most people have on hand. It takes ten minutes hands in time and that is split between 2 days. The cost is a quarter when you buy your flour in bulk,
- Buying your flour etc in bulk and making your baked goods can save 90 percent. I recently saw 4 muffins for five dollars. They were too big for any one person to legitimize eating, and making a muffin mix takes almost no time and costs 30 cents a batch. Add some blueberries, apple, spices, etc.
- Not enough time! Make bread in the bread baker. Bread bakers aren’t as popular as they were. You can find them at garage sales or thrift stores. Parm sun dried tomato bread? Parm peppercorn? Homey wheat? Bread has taken another hike and I can’t find it at the DT anymore, for a while we could get orowheat bread.
- The bread at the bread overstock store here is 4/5 including bagels and english muffins. On Sunday and Wednesday it is 10 percent off for seniors and military, In addition, you get a free bread with ten dollars or two free with fifteen dollars. That’s before discount. Includes organic and whole wheat.
- Silicone cupcake liners are five dollars a dozen and save money and the landfill from a zillion liners.
- Save vegetable scraps for soup stock. Almost free stock instead of more than two dollars a quart. No cost except for the power.
- Use your bread crusts for breadcrumbs and bread stuffing.
- Make a low carb coating for fish, chicken, or to top casseroles. Equal parts, chopped nits. Parm, amd bread crumbs.
- Nuts are cheaper in the bulk section. The broken ones are even cheaper and you don’t have to chop.
- Refill your spices from the bulk section. You probably already have spice jars for most of the things you use on a regular basis. Or save pizza sauce or other small jars .
- Need to dry bread cubes for croutons or stuffing, Put your bread on a sheet pan and put the pan in an oven that is turned off, but still warm from baking.
- A yogurt cup can be the starter to make more yogurt. Some insta . Use up milk that isn’t getting drunk,
- You can candy orange peels.
- You can save lemons by preserving them in salt,
- You can dry peels from fruit, vegetables, or the greens from SAFE fruits and pulverize them .
- Zucchini can be grated and dried in a de hydrater for use in soups.
- Celery and green onions can be regrown from the bases.
