saving money tips for the kitchen
I noticed I throw a lot of bread away. The bread gets stale yet I always have to have fresh bread on hand in case someone wants a sandwich or toast or something. Throwing out food is a waste of money. Its that simple. Even though bread doesn’t cost that much, it adds up. So, I started thinking what can I do with this leftover bread? You can avoid the stale bread issue in the first place by putting the loaf of bread before it gets stale in the freezer. Make your sandwich with frozen bread for the next day’s lunch. Or if you have time, make some French toast with it. Stale bread is the key ingredient. Or cut up the bread in small squares, put it back in the bread bag, then smash it into bread crumbs. Use the crumbs or put the bag of crumbs in the freezer for later use. You can make stuffing out of the bread crumbs or use it as a topping for a casserole or use it in meatloaf in place of crackers or make bread pudding or another recipe. Another savings cause you don’t have to buy bread crumbs or stuffing mix for your recipes now.
