Frugal Eating/Cooking Tips

[kitsune]

Are you a college student? Living alone? Looking to save money? In this thread, we are going to share cooking/eating tips that will save you money. Feel free to post your own!

• Learn to cook! And make a habit of preparing your own food than going out to eat. This should be a no-brainer but being able to cook will save you money in the long run. It's cheaper and healthier to buy your own groceries and prepare food yourself than living off of pizza and junk food.
• Make large batches of soups/stews and freeze them in individual serving-sized containers. When they're completely frozen, pop the soup blocks out of the containers and place them in plastic bags in the freezer to store. Soup is so easy to cook so be sure to make extra so you'll have a quick snack/light meal in the future.
• Use boiled eggs as filler in tuna salad sandwiches. Tuna is so rich in flavour that you can get away with adding 1-2 eggs to 1 can of tuna without compromising taste.
• Grow your own green onions! Next time you buy green onions, save at least two inches of the bottom of the stems (including the roots), and place them in a glass of water by the window. Replace the water every few days. Snip off pieces of them as needed. I have at least 30 stems of green onions growing right now and sometimes they grow faster than I need.
• Make instant/ramen noodles healthier by adding protein and veggies. When I make instant noodles, I use only about a quarter of the seasoning packet. I also like to poach an egg, and add left over chicken and chopped veggies in the boiling water. Here's a youtube playlist of neat things you can do with ramen noodles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kvv...7D9DE7CD877A6D
• Steam vegetables in the microwave. It's so much faster and easier than steaming it on the stove. In a microwave-safe glass container, put in your desired chopped veggies, a couple table spoons of water, some butter and your favourite spices. Cover and microwave until it's tender to your liking. I stir the veggies every 1-1.5 minutes so everything mixes and cooks evenly. Depending on how dense the vegetables are and how much you're steaming, this can take anywhere from 3-8 minutes. Just keep stirring and checking every couple minutes.

I grow my own vegetable and herb gardens in the spring/summer, and then preserve/dry out what we don't eat. This year I also intend to get a couple of chickens - the eggs are so much better for you and you save a lot of money in the long run. Their waste is great for the gardens too (lots of nitrogen) I doubt I'll keep the chickens over the winter though (I'm not a fan of having to go out every day in the winter lol) which means come fall, I'll have fresh and chemical free chicken for a lot less than it would cost at the grocery store.

Also my slow cooker is my best friend. You can make so many things by just throwing a bunch of shit in it and leaving it for the day.

Umm... OH! Buying in bulk when you can will also save you money if you know what you're doing. I mean things like toilet paper, paper towel, toothpaste, and other things that won't go bad. Unless you have a large family of big eaters, this hardly ever works with food.

I'm also a big fan of couponing. I'd share the sites I use but unless you're Canadian I doubt they'd do you any good. Facebook and Google are great tools for finding coupons relative to your area. You can also find "sample sites" that will send you samples of well known products or things you'd never try. Bzz Agent is a great site for that for both Americans and Canadians.

I make my own cleaning products and air fresheners as well. Anything I can, I do.

I'm sure I'll think of more ways as the day goes on lol... Leave it with me.

This is really, really good advice. I wish that I had eaten healthier when I was a kid, but at least one can start somewhere. eating at home is cheaper, and more nutritious; even more convenient when you do it right. I don't really have any reason to eat out anymore.
