1. Bread products are a frugal component of many meals. They are even more frugal when you can buy them at a bread thrift store. Mike and I stocked up on a Monday: A three pound loaf of rye bread for $ 2.29, bakery sandwich rolls for $ 1.19, everything bagels (2)for $ 1.29 each, cinnamon swirl bread for 1.29. We also got a 15% discount because of Mike's military service. Total: $6.25 The original price on the bakery buns was more than that! Score!
2. Shredded a supply of block cheese for future use. I find it goes MUCH farther shredded. That translates into saved money. (And calories.)
3. Leftovers. I have never understood why they get a bad rep. If it was good enough to ear once, it should be fine to eat again. Our leftovers are usually lunch the next day. If that doesn't use them up, I freeze and when I have a goodly number: leftover smorgasbord for dinner. Don't throw away food. It's like throwing away money.
