In an effort to cut expenses in 2009, one of the things I have been doing is trying to use what I already have first. This seems like such an obvious step, but a more daunting task than one would think.
My pantry is full of random food. I don’t know how it got that way, but there it stands mocking me.
How am I going to make dinner out of a 1/2 bag of mini-marshmallows, a can of corn and a bag of some sort of fancy pasta that I can’t pronounce or spell?
It is going to take some planning, but I am going to tackle that pantry and one by one use it’s random ingredients to create fabulous meals for my family.
OK, I would settle for meals and skip the fabulous.
I am going to have to make some additional ingredient purchases to put this plan into action, but this time I am buying only what I need to get the job done.
I found this article “
Bargain Blogs Help Save Cash” through
Twitter today.
I like that many of the linked blogs have local DFW origins.
One good local bargain blog that is missing from the article list is
Kingdom First.
