Frugal tip # 8 - left-overs!!

Posted in Frugal Living

Eat your left-overs! LOL sounds pretty simple doesn't it?  But do you actually do it??  I can't tell you how many times left overs have gone off in our fridge...it's been a pretty regular occurrence!  My dh is a builder, and doesn't have access to a microwave, so he can't take left-overs for lunch - but if your dh does have access to a fridge and microwave, then why not cook a little extra dinner for his lunch?  Most things will keep in the fridge for 3 days, so he doesn't have to eat the same thing two days in a row!

 

Now because my dh can't take the dinner left-overs, it's my job to eat them!!  I never used to do this...the left-overs would usually sit in the fridge until they turned into a science experiment!

 

But I just can't afford to waste things like that anymore, so I always check the fridge for left-overs before I make myself lunch now!

Dec. 10, 2006 - What I've learned to do ...

Posted by PonderingPassions


Is to plan meals WITH left overs. Almost anything can go into a wrap - fun and easy thing to do if you've got little bits of several things to use up. Chicken pork and beef can all be cut up and make chicken salad for lunches, casseroles, or soup. At Hillbillyhousewife.com she has a ham and potato casserole recipe that is PERFECT for left over ham, I add in a vegetable like peas or broccoli to mine just to round it out for my crew.

I LOVE the title of your blog by the way. I laughed out loud!!
