I love finding new ways to save money. Some of them are so practical but I had never heard of them before. Some are tried and true ways to save. Some are in between but they all have one thing in common, a way to save money, time or effort. The first one is particularly great for me. I had no idea you could do this!!!
Tip: Have you ever heard of making your own powdered sugar? I could not believe this until I read it. So, you can put any amount of sugar (for instance, a cup) into a blender. It will double and become (2 cups) powdered sugar. Is that great or what.
Tip: If you buy cheese in bulk, you can do so many things with it. Buy the brick to slice and wrap your own for sandwiches. Individually wrapped slices of cheese is quite expensive. Buy the brick and shred your own, put in smaller packs for handy use. We buy 5 lbs. of shredded cheese at a wonderfully reduced price. Then, you can freeze any that you are not going to use right away.
Tip: There are so many of the fresh veggies that you can simply chop and freeze to keep for the times when they aren’t available. How about fresh chives or parsley? You can dry it, chop and freeze for when you need something fast.
Tip: If some of the veggies are starting to wilt a bit because they hung around the fridge too long…no problem. Simply chop and saute. There you have it! Soup and casserole material!
Tip: Speaking of saute, you can do that with mushrooms too. I love sauted mushrooms. Haven’t tried this tip yet but it sounds great. For those last leftover mushrooms, saute. Let them cool and put them into an ice cube tray to freeze. Then bag em up in freezer bags for soups and stews or casseroles. Not bad, huh?
Now for a couple of goodies for at the grocery store:
Tip: I cannot say this enough..watch for the sales!!! I do that and get some terrific bargains on things I was going to buy anyway. That would be the trick here. They need to be things you put on your list.
Tip: Grocery stores sometimes have a store card that will give you unadvertized specials.
That’s all for now from the Window Shopper. Happy Shopping!!!
