Frugality is defined as prudence in avoiding waste - so new leaf then for 2011!
I am a busy full time working mother of two delightful girls. Our fridge/freezer to date has been full of ready meals, mystery things in tubs, food past its use by date and various unmentionable disgusting objects - was that really once a lemon?
My children were not enjoying their lunch bags, well would you if they were repetitive and boring? Ham sandwiches, tuna sandwiches and the same tired orange being produced every morning and returned every evening!
So I decided to get frugal! No more ready meals, no more filling the bin secretly with wasted food.
Quite simply I was spending far too much on food that was not enjoyed or eaten. So I have decided to experiment in January, taking this one month at a time, and see what I can do to improve meals & health, lose weight, reduce waste and help the environment.
