Free meat for omelets or pizza

Save all the little bits of leftover sausage, bacon, or ham - even the tiniest - and keep it in the freezer. It doesn't matter if it's not all the same type (or even flavor) when you use it on a pizza or in an omelet. You can mix it into cornbread, too, and serve with beans or dried pea soup, but that's not as frugal as using it in the main course.

Freezer help

Freeze your own ground beef patties, or reportion steaks or chops? Cut sides from plastic milk or water jugs and place between them and they can be separated easily. You can wash and reuse them.
