I used to have to be stealthy about my thrift, but over the past few years, I've gotten into the habit of shopping at Whole Foods, which is terrible for the food budget. Catastrophic. Shopping there is like an addiction.

It was rather damp inside, making it nearly impossible to slice. I suggested putting it in the oven for a bit; Bill put it in the microwave instead which didn't help a thing. Rather than throw it all away, I suggested making dumplings and boiling in some cream of something soup. Bill chose instead of make a chicken and veggie casserole topped with failed-bread dumplings. It was delicious - reminded me of my Thanksgiving dressing - but I don't want to think about the calories. I agree, learning to cook and manage a food budget is a basic frugal skill that pays off well.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.com
