Buying less did not make my life smaller. It made my life clearer. I began to spend on what truly mattered.

Pangrattato. Italian grandmothers have called it poor man's parmesan for four hundred years. Cost: nothing. Keeps a week in a jar.
Aran — bread.
What does your house do with the stale end?

The heel of the loaf and the two hard slices nobody wanted. Tear them with your hands — never a knife, the ragged edges are the entire point. Dry skillet, medium, a glug of oil, a smashed clove, salt. Six minutes, shaking.
They go the color of a paper bag and the kitchen smells like a bakery.

Forty percent protein by dry weight. That's among the highest of any plant food there is, and it costs less than a cup of coffee.
Lupini fed Mediterranean and Andean households for thousands of years before an American grocery store decided they were a novelty in a jar by the olives.

They come back. Every time, visibly. Wilting is water leaving the cells, not decay, and the plant will drink it straight back up through the cut.
The American household throws out roughly a third of what it buys, and a meaningful slice of that was never spoiled. Only thirsty.
Cost: nothing. Time: unattended. Go look in your crisper drawer.

Two dollars of scraps you already own and a jar of something green and loud that will improve eggs, toast, potatoes, and one bad Tuesday. A week in the fridge under oil. Forever in an ice tray.
There's a particular grace to standing at a counter at six and turning the discard pile into supper.

Everything you were about to throw out, made into the best thing on the table.
Carrot tops. Radish greens. The woody stems off parsley and cilantro and basil. The pale celery leaves nobody eats. Wash them, pack the processor tight, one garlic clove, a handful of whatever nut or seed is cheapest, salt, lemon, enough oil to make it move. Ninety seconds. Done. #Cooking #FoodAsMedicine #ZeroWaste #Recipes #Frugal #Herbs #Kitchen #Pesto #Vegetarian #Community #MutualAid #Solidarity

Dear friends of #enhancement,
My #Sainsburys #online shop now works from the fediverse. And so it bleeding well should. [#apologies for the swearing] #Securely working and without their hosted out 'service' and data scraping marketing-sharing, 'loyalty card' #mind poison. :ablobcatpopcorn: Now of course they still share my #data with their marketing #outsource [sound of spitting] BUT that is the best I can #manage at the mo. Have food prices gone through the #insulated roof? You bet your shirt. BUT I am as #frugal as a mouse on #price-watch.
#Please #eat #well. #Grow if you can. Not width. Look after yourself and family if #possible.
Also cook a Tory. Plenty of fat on most of those #skimmers. :ablobcatcoffee: -
Today's money-saving tip for the #frugal
