Putting Away A Million Perishable Groceries and Preserving Them
On Tuesday, I made a massive, massive shopping trip. 232 pounds of food, most of them perishable items. I don’t have a spare freezer, nor a massive fridge, and I don’t want it to spoil before I use it all up. I also don’t have a basement to make a root cellar, so what am […]
Shopping Trip- April 12, 2011
I did a massive shop today. More massive than I’ve done in a long while, but no regrets whatsoever. I had planned already for the past few months to do a big shopping now, and that was part of the impetus for my no shopping challenge the past 2 months. I stocked up on lots […]

Menu Plan Monday- End of No Shopping Challenge
Back in February, I decided to embark on a “No Shopping Challenge“, to try to use up some of the things in my massive stockpile, so I could have turnover of my foods and use up some things that would otherwise not get used up. The added benefit of this was to be able to […]

In the Penniless residence, we’re smack in the middle of some intense spring cleaning, and I wanted to share some thoughts on the subject with you. Spring cleaning- you may ask- what’s it got to do with frugality? Well, aside for the fact that frugal people tend to do the cleaning themselves instead of paying […]

Easy Cinnamon Buns
I like cinnamon buns. They use only ingredients I anyhow have around the house and get for cheap, and because they use regular bread dough, I just make a larger batch of dough when I’m baking bread and use some of that for my cinnamon buns. Here’s how to make cinnamon buns in few, simple […]

Poverty, Frugality, Charity, and Government Assistance
Sorry Readers for the lack of in depth, detailed posts as of late. I’ve had a lot on my plates lately, including work obligations (I needed to get 7 weeks worth of work done in 2 weeks), familial obligations, and just general life “stuff” that requires much physical and emotional energy. I’ve been running on […]
