Canned tomatoes went up from 50 cents to 72 cents. Produce is up, too.

Never let anything go to waste. I made burgers a couple days ago and immediately turned the meat grease into gravy.

Anyone who makes homemade jelly, don’t forget to turn the pulp into fruit butter. Save corn cobs for corn cob jelly. Look around the neighborhood for honeysuckle or cactus fruit, etc. for interesting jellies.

I make strawberry syrup. I turned the pulp into fruit leather using the dehydrator.

speaking of tomatoes, keep the skins or tops because it all can be dried and made into a powder.

I'm better at saving bacon grease....

I'm even saving dryer lint.

I wash out all my gallon freezer bags, if not previously filled with raw meat, and I reuse them...

little things to save with this inflation...

we're not poor....we could afford new freezer bags, its just the principle of the thing....

re generators...we too have a big generator...not a generac...

however if you are the only ones with power you do become a target, so I would suggest slumming it a bit with off and on again timing....to make it look like you're just "getting by"....
