| Save all the little bits of leftover sausage, bacon, or ham and keep it in the freezer. It doesn't matter that it's all the same type or flavor when you use it on a pizza or in an omelet.
You can mix it into cornbread, too, and serve with beans or dried pea soup, but that's not as frugal as using it in the main course. |

| | Thats a good tip Gayla,,I like saving veggies from dinner,,when theres only maybe a serving left,,not really enough to put back as leftovers in the frige,,but enoght to put in small containers for the freezer and then when your low on groceries or between paydays,,,toss em all in a pot and start making veggie soup or stew! What normally some would throw out,,,turns into a meal! |

| I just started a bowl in the freezer and so far there is leftover corn and leftover peas in there. I only did this once before and made an awesome chicken stew.
