Frugal ideas: don't waste food. Don't buy junk food, either.

3. It seems so current otherwise.

Great post, BTW.

I work hard to not throw food out.

Since I only get to the grocery store every few weeks, I go with a tight list and menus. I stray from my list very, very little, and generally only if I need to make a substitution.

I survey my supplies daily, looking for the foods that are on the edge of spoiling and incorporate them into the day's meals.

Since there are only two of us, we often have leftovers, and I plan my next meals around those.

It's very gratifying.
