@mrshawkinshouseuk: 5 Frugal Hacks That Might Give Non-Frugal People the Ick (But Are Actually Just Smart 👏) Some of these might sound a bit too practical for modern life… but when you’re feeding a family, minding the budget, and trying to sleep at night without financial stress, you stop caring what people think and start doing what works. 💡 Inflation is wild. These tiny choices add up. Here’s what’s working for us: 🥶 1. Freezing full loaves of bread Toast, sandwiches-it all works. No waste, no stress. You’d never know it was frozen. 🍧 2. Making jelly & ice cream for dessert Old school and proud. Cheap, cheerful, and nobody ever complains when there’s something sweet in the fridge. It always gets eaten up too so… 💧 3. DIY ice cubes I haven’t bought a bag of ice in months. I use old trays and tap water. One less thing on the list -one more thing in the bank. 🌽 4. Freezing food before it goes off Soft veg, leftovers, half tins, they all get a second chance in soups, stews, or sauces. Waste not, want not. 🥫 5. Reusing jars for food storage Old jam jars become homes for herbs, spices, rice, even leftovers. Yes, you can freeze things in glass (just leave room at the top). 💬 Frugal isn’t weird. It’s smart.
