Any time when you have to much soft fruit like strawberries and dont know what to do with them,liquify them with a little sugar and freeze. Use as a sorbet or compote with desserts like chocolate cake.

I'm not a big applesauce or apple juice fan, so when a recipe calls for small amount of either, I buy baby food. None left over and no waste!

To clean a tea cup that is stained, simply wet the cup, sprinkle in about 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and rub gently with a paper towel. I've cleaned cups at work like this and people can't believe it!

When you bring fresh mushrooms home from the store, remove them from the plastic and put them into a paper bag. Fold the top closed and the mushrooms will last a week. Even if they dry up a little, they are still good for cooking.

Here's a frugal way of making use of lemons or limes that are past their prime. Squeeze limes or lemons that are starting to get too old and freeze the juice in small containers. When you need a tablespoon of juice pop it into the microwave and you are ready to go.

When you buy a peppers (any color) or even onions, and you end up with a little or a lot left over, cut them into slices for stir-frys, or little bits for flavoring recipes, adding to sauces, dips, salsas etc, and freeze. I use the plastic take-away containers that salads are sold in. A chunk breaks off the frozen whole easily, giving you access to a small amount should you need it. The vegetables don't need to be thawed before use.

For those who have little ones, wash and reuse the plastic containers that fruit such as Gerbers 4-pack Stage 2 & 3 come packaged in. The resealable lids make them great for snacks later like cereal, etc. when the kids are out and about or in the stroller. You won't have to waste money buying small containers and you won't feel bad if they are lost or you end up throwing them away.

Save and rinse the plastic bags from your cereal boxes to use for convenient and cost free freezer wrap. Works especially well for meats. Waste not--want not.

Use squeeze margarine containers to freeze water and juice in. Then uses them to chill a picnic cooler. As the drinks melt, they can be consumed.
