Some Grocery Shopping Questions
Someone recently asked me for some advice on how to cut her spending. As usual, my first suggestion was to try to cut her grocery bill. Why do I suggest cutting grocery bills as the first way to cut expenses? Because its the most flexible, most of the time. You can’t pick up and move […]
What We Ate- Week 2 of the No Shopping Challenge
Ok, so 2 weeks ago, when I tried putting away my groceries from my shopping trip and saw that I had no room to fit anything anymore into my pantry, fridge, and freezer, I decided to challenge myself and see how long I could go without going grocery shopping. I usually only go shopping once […]

Is All Food Waste Bad? What’s wrong with food waste?
I have many ideas how to prevent food waste, from using vegetable scraps and bones to make broth, to cooking watermelon rind and using up citrus rinds to make candy and jams.
