What’s a frugal trick you’ve chanced upon recently?

I accidentally semi-reinvented the “trencher”. Basically, in medieval times, food would be served on a slab of bread and that would kinda be the plate. Or, you know, bread bowls for soup and the like.

I have an air fryer, and I’ve learned I can line the basket in a large flour tortilla, and it generally keeps whatever I’m cooking/warming up from getting the pan too dirty aside from some easily knocked-out crumbs.

I hate washing things, and I hate wasting paper liners, so it lets me cut down on those, and I can just eat the tortilla.

Eating out isn’t exactly frugal but if you are going to get fast food and they have an app I’d recommend using it cause you can get some pretty good deals. I often get half off a meal which makes those rare times I decide to eat out that much cheaper.

I hate it, but it’s true. Rocking a burger & fries for $3 is great especially when you didn’t have to purchase, prep, cook, and have to clean. This isn’t sustainable for many reasons but totally worth it occasionally

Though it kinda sucks when you’re vegan and the animal product stuff is the combo that is discounted.
