A Life Beyond Money: Weird Composting
http://alifebeyondmoney.blogspot.com/2014/01/weird-composting.html
A Life Beyond Money. Sunday, January 19, 2014. I compost as warfare. The battle is against climate change and landfills and big business that promises to solve all of our problems if we just open our wallets. Our consumptive society buys with abandon and then throws "away". Composting fights this mindset and creates a new one. When I have to look at food that goes bad before I eat it, I am more mindful to not waste food. Toilet paper tubes. I just cut them up a bit. Coffee grounds and filters. Dustpan co...

A Life Beyond Money: Frugal Snacks: Popcorn
http://alifebeyondmoney.blogspot.com/2015/04/frugal-snacks-popcorn.html
A Life Beyond Money. Thursday, April 16, 2015. You can always use the popcorn popper making it a dual-use appliance. You can pop popcorn on the stove top very easily. It uses oil, so it isn't low-fat, but is certainly less fatty than microwaved popcorn. Simply pour just enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan, and heat until it is sizzling. Add a layer of popcorn kernels to the oil and put a lid on it. Shake the pan occasionally to keep the popcorn on the bottom from burning. This really caught...

A Life Beyond Money: Homemade Bone Broth
http://alifebeyondmoney.blogspot.com/2014/06/homemade-bone-broth.html
A Life Beyond Money. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Bone broth makes (almost) everything better. It is chock full of all sorts of incredible health benefits. Bones (these can be saved from other meals or purchased). Veggies or veggie scraps. Seasonings as desired-you can add wine, peppercorns, salt, to taste. Apple cider vinegar (although white will do in a pinch). Stockpot or crock pot. Whenever I cook bone-in meat, I save the bones. If I only have a small quantity, I toss them into the freezer until I hav...

http://alifebeyondmoney.blogspot.com/2011/08/waste-not-want-not.html
A Life Beyond Money. Friday, August 19, 2011. Waste Not, Want Not. How often do you have trash pick up scheduled? How often do you take your trash to the curb? My family used to produce lots of garbage, but some small changes have aided us greatly. These tips can help you reduce your impact on the world, and on your bottom line. If you can't eat it all before it goes bad, freeze it (Chicken, peppers, zucchini). August 20, 2011 at 12:05 PM. August 28, 2011 at 6:39 PM. I freeze a lot of veggies for just th...

A Life Beyond Money: A Cheaper Cup O Joe
http://alifebeyondmoney.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-cheaper-cup-o-joe.html
A Life Beyond Money. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. A Cheaper Cup O Joe. Drink regular coffee instead of espresso-based drinks to save a buck or two on purchase prices. Remember that frozen blended drinks are almost entirely half and half. Hopefully the caloric horror will be enough to convince you to order the regular joe. Look for coupons in the paper. Once, I found a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a chain coffee house near my house. I raided the recycling bin for several more coupons and got ch...Ask a...

A Life Beyond Money: Salvage Grocery Shopping...take 2
http://alifebeyondmoney.blogspot.com/2014/10/salvage-grocery-shoppingtake-2.html
A Life Beyond Money. Thursday, October 23, 2014. Salvage Grocery Shopping.take 2. Yesterday we went to our favorite salvage grocery store since we were in town (It's 1.5 hrs away, but only 10 minutes from my family). We stocked up on a lot to make winter grocery bills more manageable, especially since we aren't sure how often we'll be able to make the trip once the roads are nasty. Soon to the scores! I'm including the price we'd pay at the regular store with smart shopping using sales and sometimes coup...

A Life Beyond Money: Getting Fit Without a Gym
http://alifebeyondmoney.blogspot.com/2012/03/getting-fit-without-gym.html
A Life Beyond Money. Thursday, March 29, 2012. Getting Fit Without a Gym. Now that the weather is nice, I'm starting to think about wearing bikinis and tank tops, so of course I'm thinking about the winter weight that always seems to creep up. With that, here are some ways that you can get/stay in shape for free or really cheap. Walk around the neighborhood. I like to go for power walks with a friend and talk rather than go out for coffee. Swim at the beach. Go hiking at a park. Community centers have lo...
