Paleo Cheapo Fish Pie Recipe- Egg Free, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Allergy Friendly, Vegan Option
This recipe was inspired by my looking into the freezer this afternoon and seeing a bunch of the salmon heads I’d bought cheaply. I was trying to think of something to do with them, and all of a sudden, I got this idea- fish pie! I’d never actually had fish pie, nor do I think […]
All About Shopping at Salvage or Scratch and Dent Stores
Lately I’ve gotten really into my scratch and dent stores, also called salvage stores, and I’m really excited about them, since they save me a lot of money. However, the thing is, when you mention to people that you buy at a scratch and dent store, and immediately everyone has a lot of questions. What […]
Candied Honey Mustard Turnips Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free
I think I figured out that my method of masking flavors I am not in love with tends to either be “Koreanize it,” “curry it,” or “honey mustard it“. I love those flavors, and they’re strong enough that when they are combined with other flavors, they mask them. I’ve written about turnips before, that even […]
Today’s Insanely Cheap Produce Shopping Trip
I talk a lot about frugal shopping, specifically my dirt cheap buys at the farmers market, mainly the grade b veggies and fruit. (Now I must admit that while I write farmer’s market on my blog that’s mainly for ease of translation, because it’s really an open air market with a variety of vendors selling a […]
Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe, Gluten Free, Vegan, and Refined Sugar Free Options
I regularly go to a Mommy and Me type get together on Tuesday mornings, where the hostess provides yummy homemade treats for everyone to eat, but more often than not they’re gluten filled, which means that my kids can’t eat them. It’s hard for them to see everyone else getting these baked goods when they […]
Replacing a Plug on an Expensive Appliance to Save Money
On Thursday afternoon I bunkered down for a major cooking session, as I had two families of guests coming over on the weekend, and I planned on doing a lot of cooking from scratch. I took out my food processor, something I needed for at least 5 or 6 different dishes, and it simply wouldn’t […]
Making My Own Homemade Fancy Tablecloth For Cheap
I have this thing about tablecloths. Tables look so much nicer with a good tablecloth… and with a bad tablecloth, not so much. We have a few tablecloths at home already, but most of them got ruined because of spills and such, but even to begin with, they didn’t really add to the home decor, […]
Making Homemade Super Frugal Tab Top Curtains From Imperfect Fabric and Scraps
One of the things I hated most in how my house looked before our super frugal home makeover was our blinds on our window in the living room part of our main room. They were given to us by friends who no longer wanted there, they were a color I hated, and they were half […]
My Super Frugal Home Makeover- The End Result
For the longest time, I wasn’t house proud. My house was functional, and depending on the state of clutter, it was often less than fully functional. The furnishings and decorations were nearly all just based on what we got cheap. To say that it was to my taste would have been as far from the […]
My Latest Super Frugal Shops and Discovering Some New Bargain Stores
It’s actually been almost 2 weeks since I did this grocery shop, but it actually was the last “big” shop I did, and I still have much of this in my house, and since it was such a terrific shop, I had to share what I bought and why. So firstly, I went to the […]
