Tips on Frugal Living

These tips on frugal living will help you save money and feed your family well. Whether you are trying to cut costs or just want to save some extra money, making your own sauces and using up your leftovers will help you do this.

Living a frugal lifestyle doesn't have to be a necessity, some people, such as me, enjoy making things from scratch and finding ways to use up what we have. I find not only is it healthier for you and the budget, frugal living can be enjoyable.

10 Tips on Being Frugal

1. Buy non processed food. Not only is it much healthier but those convenient box packages are more expensive than if you made it yourself.
2. Make your own bread. If you don't have a large family, slice the whole loaf and freeze. Take out slices as you need them.
3. Buy cheap cuts of meat and cook them on low and in a crock pot. You won't know the difference once it has cooked for 6-8 hours.
4. Make your own sauces and mixes.
5. Bake your own goodies. It tastes better, is better for you and cheaper.
6. Use the freezer to stock up on meals and ingredients.
7. Save your bread that is stale for croutons.
8. Save chicken bones, vegetable ends and stems for making broth.
9. Don't buy shredded cheese. Buy the chunk and shred it yourself at home. If you don't think you can use all of it divide it into portions and freeze.
10. Learn how to use spices and herbs.
