Use up your food. No one likes second hand food, but if you fix it differently the second time around it can still be appetizing. With fresh food – buy only what you can eat before it goes bad. Buy dried milk to use in cooking – especially if you aren’t a regular milk drinker. Plan uses for your leftovers.

Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. Create a weekly menu, then buy the groceries, and cook dinner every night. Plan a movie or game night. Reduce convenience foods. And if you rent, save money and then invest the difference. Plan ahead.

We have significant food restrictions so sourcing our own is helpful health-wise & cost-effective too. Besides farming, I love reading, enjoy baking & am always looking for new affordable adventures for my kids & I (new trails, a movie, water park, climbing, bookstores off the beaten track, escape rooms) 2. Heavens, no.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. We mowed the grass, made our clothes, cleaned house, cooked , and fixed broken stuff. Eating out or going to a movie were once a year events.
