I recently started my own online jewelry boutique. This is the perfect job for stay-at-home moms, or for anyone looking to earn a little extra cash. There is no out-of-pocket investment - just earn a commission on anything you sell. The amount of effort you put in determines how much you earn. Visit www.glitzykitsy.kitsylane.com to find out more.
I usually meet first dates for coffee or tea. I don't trust first impressions (from either side) made under the influence (and, of course, it's cheaper:-).
Eggs! Eggs are versatile, cheap, and a great source of protein. You can enjoy eggs in any meal, and you can be creative enough with them to avoid monotony. Frittatas, huevos rancheros, egg drop soup, omelettes, hard boiled as a snack or on a salad - the list goes on!
I haven't made real "garbage soup" since my kids moved out! You've inspired me to give it another go. My husband always said "I don't know what it will taste like, but I'm sure it will be good. And it'll be different the next time."
Steel cut oats! I buy them from the bulk foods section and cook a pretty big batch to eat throughout the week. I love adding different nuts, fruits, spices, and even shredded coconut. And it makes a delicious, filling, satisfying breakfast.
I can't believe you need a recipe and a video for this! I'm guessing most people use canned whipped cream? I live in New Zealand, one of the biggest dairy exporters in the world and home made is far more common than canned.
Eggs! As a kid I thought they were gross and refused to eat them. Then I got my own place and realized protein is expensive!! Now I eat them almost everyday and eat meat very sparingly. They are cheap, versatile and delish.
Tip number 11. Make sure to pay your bills on time and find other ways to cut your bill in half. If you use a phone to communicate with clients, find the cheapest plan out there !
Take three 6" corn tortillas sauté each in a small fry pan with a little butter. Set aside.
Prepare you favorite cole slaw. Heat a can of your favorite refried beans.
Fill each warmed tortilla with refried beans. One tablespoon of cole slaw. Top with a taco sauce or salsa. Mexican cheese may also be added. Roll up and top with more taco sauce.
Served with extra beans and coleslaw on the side makes mine a "Delicious Poor Man's Dinner"
Take some boneless, skinless chicken breasts, spice them to taste, and slice them with a knife right in the middle (so that you're cutting long-ways). Stuff the center with shredded mozzarella, bake for about 10-15 minutes, take it out, cover it with pasta sauce (either home-made or store bought, your choice. Also spiced to taste), and place sliced mozzarella on top. Bake another 10-15 min, or until center is fully cooked.
My husband makes the most delicious hoppin' john. It's so good and so cheap, full of rice and black eyed peas with just some bacon for flavor. Plus there are always leftovers.
Split pea soup!
Combining all the scraps and leftovers into something new and tasty makes me feel accomplished and frugal!

Roasted whole chicken. Filling, versatile, and you can use the carcass to make stock.
I like to make chicken stock from the leftover carcass of a whole chicken. I use it when making soup or cooking vegetables or rice. Delicious!

Potatoes are about as cheap as anything you can buy and can be fixed a hundred and one different ways!

In fact, canned is almost unpatriotic!

Potatoes! Love them baked or fried. When you bake them, you can top them with pretty much whatever you like and they will be tasty and filling.

Mac 'N Cheese. I have gotten a box for as little as .25 cents each. If you feel like splurging, you can add cut up hotdogs or Spam.
