I buy a bunch of red peppers at once, and slice and dice and freeze them for soups, pizzas, etc. Anything perishable gets eaten right up or frozen. There are green bags which I'm told really do extend the shelf life of your produce. Also,you can make your own wine. After the initial investment, it's all a saving. I have seen the carboys offered on freecycle. There are some items that you can buy at the dollar store as well. I buy in bulk whenever possible.witchypoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07283731244654558458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29306110.post-47214331535161232292009-02-02T15:59:00.000-08:002009-02-02T15:59:00.000-08:00My ten year old son (major home body) has more tha...My ten year old son (major home body) has more than once frog-marched me to the pantry with all the dusty cans and said, "LOOK at all this food.

If you need any ideas on free things to do to entertain yourself, give me a buzz and I can help you out.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you need any ideas on what to do with whatever ingredients you have in the house, let me know that too and I'll help you out. I have a habit of overspending on groceries too thanks to being a snob about cooking my meals just right.<BR/><BR/>Also, I haven't bought tomatoes in months...it's not really a required ingredient and they are so expensive these days. What I do is buy canned crushed tomatoes and I can use that in soups, tomato sauce or whatever else might call for tomatoes. Unless of course you are having tacos or bruscetta...in that case, they must be fresh.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285468756347219525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29306110.post-79030689986259657782009-02-02T15:25:00.000-08:002009-02-02T15:25:00.000-08:00It sucks at first but you will get used to it.
