Hi ...you have become a dear friend over these past 18 months...we also had a long cold winter here in Quebec. I think we are kindred spirits...I do talk to you even though you cannot hear me. Now we have beautiful warm sunny days...garden going in..I go to town (10 min drive) about every 2 weeks for groceries and truly get excited when I get bargains too! I also get excited when I make batches of soups and batches of cookies. Every day has times of joy...worries come and go...but friends like you are an uplifting visit in my day. Thanks so much!!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

OH MY GOSH!!! Debbie thank you so much for those kind, uplifting, and encouraging words! You have blessed me greatly by sharing this comment! Big hug!!

[@deedeesmith3073]

I just bought a food saver at a garage sale in original box for 3 dollars ! It does work and I’m so happy. I had one years ago that broke and I hadn’t replaced.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

What a great deal! Great find Deedee! Thanks for sharing!

[@debimorsette1685]

That’s the most beautiful bundt pan I have ever seen. I wouldn’t expect anything less from you. You’re the Queen of a beautiful kitchen! Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

That is so sweet Debi! Thank you!

Always love your videos landing in my feed. I'm a regular food prepper as I usually work full time out of the home with a 1hr commute each way. I've been using these tips (handed down from Mum 💞) and also save the onion peelings, pepper centres, cauliflower/broccoli stems, bottom of the crisper drawer veggies, peeling and trimmings from any fresh veggies used during the week etc to regularly make stock. I save them in a bag in the freezer and add them to the slow cooker either with leftover beef bones, chicken carcass or just the veggies on their own. I make soup every week and use the stock in casseroles too so I've usually have one of my slow cookers brewing a broth on average once a month. I reuse the same bag once it's empty giving it a quick wash in between uses to keep it healthy. Did you know that adding an apple to your potatoes helps them last longer? Even eggshells don't go to waste - they can be crushed up and sprinkled around plants or along a door line to stop slugs and snails eating your plants and break down and mix in with the soil to help fertilise (just one of their waste benefits). A folded piece of kitchen paper or a linen napkin in the crisper drawer or tucked inside the packaging of delicate veggies such as salad leaves, tomatoes helps to soak up excess moisture and keeps them a little longer. Does Dixie eat veggies or fruits? I have a German Shepherd and she adores a lot of fruit and veggies and is regularly by my side if it allows her to have tomatoes, cucumber, apples or pears (her favourites but she's not fussed) .... although don't worry she doesn't have onions or any of the others that aren't good for our furry friends xx

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Dixie loves carrots and lettuce! They are her absolute favorite treats! Thanks so much for watching!

The bundt pan for the corn on the cob is genius!

Hi Emmy, Hear me out on the onions, I have a lot of experience with this method. Of course, you'll have to adjust it for your situation. If you want a foolproof way to keep your eyes from burning while cutting onions, let Paul do it! You’re welcome! 😁

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

I do the same and no tears.

[@lindaidzinski1851]

Omg! I never thought to buy produce on sale and freeze. I’m going to do that next time I see peppers on sale. I cook a lot of peppers throughout the year but some weeks the prices are crazy. Before cutting onions, light a candle right next to the cutting board. You will see that your eyes will not tear up. I learned that from martha Stewart and it works every time.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Great tip thanks Linda!

[@rebacarmack8335]

I put my onions in the fridge for a few days to get fully chilled, worked for me, then I double bag.Got my Food Saver for Christmas- haven’t figured it out yet- will be using for meats mainly. You don’t brush the silks off the corn before cooking?Bundt pan- what a great idea.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Yes I did brush them off those were stragglers LOL!

[@AK-gh6cp]

My eyes don't water when I cut onions when I am wearing my contact lenses. :)

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Hmmm don't have contact lenses so I may never have to buy those onions again I guess LOL!!

[@melindabanning4497]

Just hint to anyone who doesn't have a food saver yet, I buy flip and fold baggies very cheaply at Dollar General. I put one piece of meat or a portion of hamburger in the baggie then I put them all into a freezer bag. I do not get freezer burn anymore even they are in there for months. Great tips and reminders.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Thanks so much Melinda for the tip!!

[@christinepleiman3685]

You are totally right about the sweet or Vidala onions, so much better. I save my vegetable trimmings (carrot and onion peels, celery tops, etc) in the freezer and use them when I make my chicken stock. Gives a richer flavor and the onion skins give a beautiful color to the broth. Love your videos so much!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Thank you Christine! So smart to save all those scraps!

[@gwendolynjulien4851]

I saw a lady in a video that has the same problem you have with onions when peeling them. She wet a paper towel with water and put it on her cutting board when peeling onions. She did not have a problem and she was very happy.

[@AmandaJYoungs]

Thank you so much for sending me over to this video, Emmy! Tons of useful information - I would never have thought to use leftover corn cobs to add flavour to stocks! And I think making stocks and/or soups on a regular basis in the crockpot makes me happy. I shall be making herby dumplings and green split pea soup (with some cumin for an interesting flavour and some liquid smoke too) next, I think. :-) Thank you - and how lovely to see Dixie starting off this video. I love dogs with ears like that, and she has a marvellously waggy tail. Very pretty.

Many good tips on avoiding wastage. Thanks. In Asian chicken or pork rib soups we throw in pieces of corn on the cob( slice a cob into 3) , you are right it adds a ton of flavor. Love how you recycle your Butter containers.

I use more diced peppers and onions, but I do the same thing and flash freeze. Also do celery this way for soups. I did some eggs like this too. Save my bones for stock, even celery and onion skins for veggie stock. We try really hard not to waste, but sometimes it happens.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Oh Brenda we all waste sometimes... we like you, try hard not to though!

Beautiful dog. F.y.i. frugal dog treat we tried and thought you might want to know about. We gave the dogs a cup of the Pure Balance dried dog food almost every day as a treat. They have four flavor options to choose from. About five dollars for a four pound bag. One bag is enough for almost a month or longer depending on the number of dogs you have. The salmon blend was their favorite. This brand is sold at Walmart for the best best. It comes in the black paper bags.

[@aprilhamilton5512]

@@FrugalMoneySaver, just pulled my scale out for something one wouldn’t really think of a scale for but it works great! I weigh my mayonnaise instead of measuring it in a measuring cup. Much less mess! For example, I need 1/2 cup of mayonnaise for a recipe I am making. The label tells me that 1 T of mayonnaise is 13 grams. Thus, 1/2 cup = 8 T = 104 grams. Takes a bit of math but no mess of measuring in a measuring cup!

I enjoyed this episode with you and took notes on how to do food preps on larger amounts of veggies than needed right away. During this pandemic, I've been relying more on my own cooking rather than eating out. Restaurants are still not open here in Toronto and surrounding areas because they're all major hot spots for the virus. In this day and age, being short on time made us veer away from home cooking. Now we're so blessed to have someone like you to help us easily go back to old ways of doing things. Not only more economical but healthier in the long run.
