I finally got a chance to get on the computer today. And I’m glad I did because I wanted to share a tip for Frugal Fridays, hosted by Biblical Womanhood.
This might not be anything new to you veteran frugal shoppers out there, but I discovered something new last week that I was pretty excited about.
I typically make pasta with meat sauce every week, or so, using ground turkey. It’s something that we all really like for dinner. (Although, it is likely just an excuse to have homemade french bread.)
Well, last week, I realized that I could double the amount of sauce I use, keeping the amount of meat the same, then freeze half of it. This will make each package of ground turkey go twice as far. No one even noticed the difference!
As a bonus, it saves me from having to cook the meat the next time we have meat sauce.
A quick side note, something happened last night to let me know that I am getting better at developing a frugal mindset. My sister, who lives out-of-town and away from the mall, asked me to pick up a shirt for her and she would pay me back. When it came time to pay for it, I had a hard time swiping my debit card to pay $34.50 for a shirt. I almost couldn’t bring myself to do it. I kept thinking about how many shirts I could buy for that amount!
