Frugal Tips - Great Ideas For Frugal
Living
Mash and freeze ripe bananas, in one-cup portions, for use in later
baking - no wasted bananas (or you can freeze them whole, peeled,
in plastic baggies)
To quickly use that frozen juice concentrate, simply mash it with a
potato masher - no need to wait for it to thaw!
To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room
temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen
counter before squeezing!
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop
or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and
bring to a boil on stove-top - skillet will be much easier to clean
now!
Spray your tupperware with non-stick cooking spray before pouring
in tomato-based sauces~no more stains!
Transfer your jelly to a small plastic squeeze bottle no more
messy, sticky jars or knives! This also works well for homemade
salad dressing!
To aid in washing dishes, add a tablespoon of baking soda to your
soapy water - it softens hands while cutting through grease!
Save your store-bought-bread bags and ties - they make perfect
storage bags for homemade bread!
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of
the dry cake mix instead - no white mess on the outside of the
cake!
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop
in a peeled potato - it absorbs the excess salt for an instant "fix
me up"!
Next time you need a quick ice pack, grab a bag of frozen
vegetables out of your freezer~no watery leaks from a plastic
baggie!
When making bread, substitute non-dairy creamer for the dry milk -
it works just as well!
Slicing meat when partially frozen makes it easier to get thin
slices.
Instead of throwing away bread heels or leftover cornbread, use
them to make bread crumbs. For use later, store them in the
freezer.
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator it
will keep for weeks!
