| Frugal Tips For The Kitchen By cooking at home, you're already saving money. Yes, it takes more time, but the savings add up in a big hurry. Many Americans are exploring ways to be more frugal and the kitchen is a great place to start. With more people eating at home, the kitchen has become a high traffic zone. If you have children at home, it might not hurt to set some ground rules for snacks and meals or the fridge can empty out in a big hurry! Try some of these kitchen tips to save yourself some time and money: 1. Save Your Bones! Sure, we sell bones, but whenever you have bones left over from steaks, ribs, pork, chicken, or turkey, save them in the freezer. Slow cook these down to stock for a healthy soup starter. 2. Portion Foods - A good example is our 1lb organ meat sausages. If you won't eat a whole pound in a week, portion it in thirds or quarters, wrap tight in plastic wrap and freeze. It's a serious bummer to find a 1/2lb of sausage in the fridge that's gone bad. This tip will help you save a lot of good food from going bad. 3. Freeze Extra Fruits & Veggies - When produce is on sale, buy a little extra to put in the freezer for smoothies. Or, if your bananas, apples, avocados, etc are getting a bit too ripe, slice, dice and freeze for later. 4. Make Meat Go Further - Buddha Bowls are all the rage. These meals are delicious, filling, and inexpensive. Wild rice added to some ground beef, turkey, bison, or elk, with avocado and sour cream is so very tasty and will serve several. 5. Grow Your Own Heirloom Veggies - Heirloom seeds can be saved from your crop for the next season's starters. This has been done since people began growing food. You may be surprised how much you can save and share with a small vegetable garden. Fruits and veggies you grow on your own are always so much tastier too!
