Thanks for visiting the Tightwad Training Camp blog. This blog is now in archived-only status with no new posts. I've decided to leave it online & accessible due to a request for the information within the older posts.

If you are interested in both frugality and healthy eating, you might enjoy my other blog, Supper In Seconds, where I present recipes from scratch that take 10 minutes or less hands-on time to prepare.

30 Days of Tips - Long-Term Grocery Savings

Tip #6: For grocery savings that can easily become habits that last a lifetime, consider these ideas.

• visit the asian and hispanic grocers in your area for deals on produce & high-quality ethnic foods
• make your own baby food for baby by pureeing what you are having for dinner before adding your spices & salt
• maintain your garden, harvest often & freeze the excess if you don't have time to can
• scour the refrigerator twice weekly for leftovers that are soon to reach their expiry & freeze them or turn them into that night's dinner
• become familiar with making popcorn on the stove & serve this as your snacking food
• don't waste undesirable parts of meat -- boil for a nourishing bone broth & make a filling meal of soup & bread
