Save Money by Using Food That Normally Goes To Waste
Interested in making each dollar get "more bang for the buck?" Need to save money because of a tight budget? If the answer to either of these questions is "yes," this article will show you how you can save money by making use of leftover food that might ordinarily go to waste.
1) Get every last drop. When those ketchup, mustard, salsa, and other condiment bottles and jars are nearly empty, here's a way to get the last drop out of them. Tip the containers upside down and let stand for a couple of hours to collect the remnant food at the lid end. Then just squeeze or scrape out what is left. Of course there's always going to be a wee little bit still clinging to the sides. If you want to get every last drop, just put a few drops of water or vinegar in the container, shake it, and then pour it out. Works great for getting that last bit of salad dressing and ketchup out of the bottles.
2) Make pate' from leftover meat. Pate is meat in a paste form that can be spread on crackers or bread. Pate' is not a regular food item on most American menus, but if it's something you eat, you can save money by making pate' from leftover meat and fish. Just throw the leftover meat into your food processor, add some herbs, butter, and cream, and you have a delicious pate you can spread on your bread and crackers for lunch or a snack.
3) Use Your Stale Bread. Just because your bread may be dry or stale doesn't mean it needs to be thrown away. There are several things you can do with stale bread such as: (a) make bread crumbs that can be used in meatloaf, burgers meatballs and vegetarian dishes; (b) make croutons, which are great for soups and salads; (c) make bread pudding; (d) make French toast; (e) Use bread crumbs to feed the birds. (f) Revive it by dipping in water and baking it.
4) Save the drippings. O.K. for the health conscious, this is not the best option, but it will save you money if you do, and that is the point of this article. Collect the fat from your chicken and beef and store it in the fridge for later cooking use. Some people save their bacon drippings as well. Using animal fat for cooking is certainly delicious, but it's up to you whether you want to use these fats in lieu of vegetable and olive oils.
5) Save the chocolate. When you melt your chocolate for a dessert you are making, don't just wash out the chocolate residue that remains in the bowl. Let it cool and harden, then scrape out the little pieces, which you can use for decorations and toppings on cakes, pies, puddings, and other desserts. It will save you money by not having to buy expensive toppings that are pre-packaged in the store.
