i reuse leftovers until they are all gone
fruit getting too ripe? throw them in the freezer for smoothies.
Throwing out food is something i cannot bring myself to do, i can always *recycle* it into something, lunch the next day or if possible work into my dogs dinner. Leftover potatoes go great in an omelet and i have no problem eating dinner for breakfast.
i despise using paper products, or anything *one use*.. i have a stack of cleaned out to go containers from food brought home and pass leftovers off in them to whomever. i reuse peanut butter jars and other things for storage or whatever, using them just one time makes no sense to me.
For me its not just about saving money but thats a big perk to being resourceful.
Before i buy anything i try to ask if i NEED it or if i just WANT it. Sometimes i do just want it, and that's ok, but i do check in with myself before i buy stuff.
Another tip? Stay out of places like Target and Wal Mart. They are an impulse store, everything you see you need. Stick to a list if you do go.
i needed milk so i stopped at Walgreens, $2.99 and i'm outta there. Can't do that at WalMart.
