It seems like the last few days have been filled with nothing but terrible financial and economic news.  And honestly, I don’t understand all of it.  I’ve read the articles, but I just don’t have a real grasp of the details of how this happened and why, and I don’t even really think that the [...]


Yep, I took one even on vacation! I shopped carefully and tried to eat wisely over the course of the week, but I just made too much pizza and too many pizza bagels. We had some other groceries left, but I packed them in the cooler to bring home. The cooler didn’t [...]


I wasted two things this week. In the bag are some beans from my mom’s garden. She has graciously assured me that these do not need to count towards my food waste total, since they can be sent back to the dirt from whence they came. But, I’m harder on myself than [...]


Actually, there are two. I am ashamed.
(However, is this not a beautiful picture?? I love the light!)

(this one, not so much. I waited until too late at night to take it.)

Oh, the depths to which I’ve fallen after my no-waste week!
The first picture is a bit of lettuce, and some [...]


Here’s the food that was wasted at Chez Frugal Girl this week:

Oh yes. It has finally happened. By God’s grace, I’ve managed to not waste any food at all this week. Woohoo!!!! Who’d have thought that I, queen of food wasters, could ever do this? Change is apparently possible, even for [...]


Here’s what I wasted in addition to the beans I posted about earlier. It’s about 1/4 cup of green onions and 4 apple slices. The green onions are just the tail end of a bunch I bought a couple of weeks ago. While I wish I’d managed to use them all, I [...]


It’s only Monday, and already my hopes for a no-waste week have been dashed. Oh, the pain!
I opened a can of beans last week to use on our Shrimp Taco Salad, and Lisey and I(we’re the only one who eat beans!) ate a fair amount of them then. Some other day last [...]


Don’t get too excited. It’s not that I didn’t throw anything away, it’s that I didn’t get a picture. I know…what a let-down.
It wasn’t a horrible week, though. I threw away a moldy peach, and some cilantro pesto. I’d frozen it, and for some reason it tasted weird when I thawed it. [...]


Sigh. I was so sure I’d have an no-waste week this week. What I have here is some tomato paste, and some ravioli with pink sauce. I actually love ravioli with pink sauce and was going to eat it shortly after I made it. But then I thought I might need [...]


I’d mentioned last week that I was really, really hoping to have a no-food-waste week this week, and until a day or two ago, I thought it was going to happen.  Alas, this one small piece of grilled pepper didn’t get eaten, and neither did this cream(I know…stupid!  Who wastes a pint of raw, from [...]
