I am making a big effort to do this at the moment and thanks to attempting
but rather failing trying to be an Extreme couponer, I do have quite a bit
in my larder. But some of it needs to be used up right away.

I do have some frozen French fries and Tater Tots. Aside from a Tater Tot
type of casserole, I don't know what use those will have. Except to eat
them as is. I may end up tossing some of those because I am the only one
who currently eats them.

I do have a large bag of hash browns to use up. And in case any of you are
wondering why I would get such things and not make them from scratch,
well... I don't mind using them for one thing and I got them for free or
very cheap using coupons. I intend to use those to make something similar
to O'Brien potatoes except that they won't be cubes. I have plenty of bacon
and onions and I do have some red and green peppers. So I will mix those
things up and they will be dinner.

I am hoping that Winco will still have a good price on bell peppers so I
will be getting some more of those and some ground beef and make some
unstuffed peppers. I have never tried this before. Basically make like you
would stuffed peppers but you cut the peppers in bite sized pieces and mix
with your meat, tomato sauce, rice (if you are using it) and seasonings. I
figure I will have a better shot at getting daughter to eat the peppers if I
do it this way. Normally both she and my husband scoop all of their
stuffing out and put their peppers on my plate because they don't like to
eat them like that. I do have plenty of rice in the cupboard.

Looks like the beans are going to have to wait another week unless I just
cook up a small amount of plain ones.

Do you have anything like that you are going to use up this week? Maybe
because you have a lot of it? Or because it's getting rather old?

You are so ****ing SICK I don't need to read any more... frozen fries
and tater tots... shove them up your sicko fat ass!

Yes, I do have things I will use up this week. But there is nothing at all
special in why I would do that because not allowing food to be wasted is
simply about being both frugal and trying to be a competent housefrau.

In addition, TMWOT, part of the talent of cooking and managing my home is to
know how to use up leftovers and to present them so that they both look
appetising and taste delicious.

Kids like cheese fries - so do I. If you've got all those fries, tater
tots, etc., experiment with cheese sauces. You could even dunk them in
fondue.

You could also make hash.

I don't have any kids. Just a teen who can only eat sweet potatoes and not

Do you like potato soup? How about using the french fries or hash
browns to make that. Or potato salad. Or to add to a beef stew or
vegetable soup.

Tater Tots are really good prepared the usual way and served with fried
eggs.

I once made a potato and leek soup that I liked. But I don't think I have
the recipe any more. In general I don't like potato soup. And I don't
think they would work in potato salad. Not that I could eat that. Because
I can't have mayo. I can have the kind with the vinegar but I'm not a big
fan. I am not sure they would work so well in any kind of soup really
because they have been fried first.

But I can't have eggs.

You still have any of that left in your cupboard? Hey, Julie baby was my
intro to kill files.

Why do you suppose she has so much stuff that is getting old? Because
nobody in her house can eat anything without fear, physical ailment, or
psychological trauma. Probably all of the above, but the physical ailment
is caused only by the other two.

No. I bought the potatoes and then daughter was put on a low carb diet.
She could still eat some. Just not very much. Then another Dr. put her on
South Beach and potatoes are not allowed. I am not a super big fan of fries
and mainly only eat them at restaurants.

My refrigerator freezer is gradually getting empty. Been trying to use up
what I have. Threw out unidentifiable items, or too dry looking. Got a
little frozen ham pieces from last June. Still have most of a bag of aldi
frozen hash browns. I should try mashing down and refrying, like a pancake.
out of fries and tots.out of frozen shrimp. Got a couple hamburgers, pizza,
banquets or some little tv dinners, bag of brown rice. Ice pack for my
head.

My brother as a kid had a pink allergy. Pepto bismol, and other pink stuff
would make him break out.??

I was not talking about using leftovers. I was talking about using up
things from the pantry that were soon to go bad.

Extreme couponing is for the birds. We stopped getting the Sunday
paper that has all of the coupons in it. I doubt that we have
increased our grocery bill by more than $5. We do check the store ads
in the local papers and I am signed up with our favorite grocery and
get an email each Sunday listing of the things that are on special the
coming week that we buy frequently.

The big problem trying to "coupon" is that you end up with more than
you can use before it is out of date or spoils. Then you have wasted
money that would have bought what you needed at regular price when you
needed it. And unless you have very accessible storage some of the
stuff will get lost and/or forgotten.

If you really want to buy in large quantities, be sure to go through
everything about twice a year and plan meals with all of the things
are nearing expiration. And keep the oldest in the front or on top.

Of course all of that goes out the window when the spouse decides to
buy some groceries and puts them away newest in front and on top.

No - I never overstock, and couponing is a royal pain, not to mention that it doesn't really save you anything if you are stocking up on junk food you'll never get thru. About the only coupons I ever cut are for Tabasco and a certain brand of t.t. I'm gonna buy this stuff anyway, so that's my rule of dumb on clipping coupons.

I not only avoid overstocking, but I also get a laugh out of that ad which says Americans throw out 500 dollars worth of food a year. I sure don't. I use leftovers the next day, use green bags, keep a freezer inventory etc. I doubt if I throw 20 bucks worth away a year.

Yes. I am thinking of canceling my paper. But it's a tossup. Costs me
$2.95 per month to get it. I am sure I do use enough coupons to warrant
that and I perhaps make a dollar or two. Sometimes more. But there is no
way I can do like the people on that show, mainly because they were cheating
and doing things like using bogus coupons.

The best coupons come straight from the manufacturer but you can only write
to them so often to get them. I have gotten high value and free things that
way. But for the most part, coupons are for things that we do not even use.
I do use some for cat treats, once in a while cat food or litter, some
cosmetics and cleaning products. Not so much for food.

Yes. I find that I do well at Costco, although they have a limited
selection. I do have a garage where I can store the paper products and I
can put things like cans and jars out there. But after we got that rat in
there we can no longer keep cereal or stuff like that. The potato products
were just stupid on my part. I got that freezer and was like... What can I
fill it with? I saw the big bags of potatoes for cheap and grabbed them up,
never stopping to think that we rarely eat those things.

I have seen the big stockpiles of mustard, Frank's Red hot sauce, BBQ sauce
and stuff like that. How much of that stuff can those people eat? They get
it just because it's free! I will get free stuff and give it to the food
bank but I do try to get them usable things. Not that those things aren't
usable. But if I were needy I would much rather have a can of soup or chili
than some mustard!

I do try to do that. But the freezer got a little bad. Mostly because of
its design. Some things sneaked their way to the bottom.

That happens too. I have gotten my daughter into the habit of checking the
expiration dates and putting the old food in the back or on the bottom. We
can not go by the fact that the new food is newer because it isn't always.
But once in a while she will be in a hurry and just sort of toss things in
there. And then there are the weird things that she or husband sees. Or
even occasionally me. We'll see something that looks like a good idea at
the time but nobody eats it.

Or there is the thing that has happened here in the past few weeks. I plan
to make certain foods but somebody gets sick and is unable to eat that so I
have to change the menu. And then I might wind up tossing something. Like
that big bag of salad that we were going to eat this week. We did eat a
little bit. Just couldn't eat it all.

Same here. It's why I like to stock up, so I don't have to continually
look for a sale. Certain items are jacked way up if they aren't on
sale.

My problem with couponing is that the vast majority of the ones
I see aren't useful to me. I do that Troopon thing, so I do go through
all the inserts. I might keep one or two coupons for myself. Maybe.
The rest are not for anything I use.

It might be different if I had kids, of course.

I hear ya, loud and clear. And you don't want to be that anal-retentive
nag that's always going on about You put the canned tomatoes in the
wrong place again! (laugh)

Other than for cat stuff I have rarely seen a coupon for a product I
use. I don't bother looking for coupons, for cat products I print
from their web sites, and many I get by snail mail by registering at
their web site, I get free samples too. For many foods, like frozen
pizza, the best coupons can be printed from their web sites. With
many of the national brand foods if you phone their toll free number
and compliment their product they will send you coupons for free
products... I've gotten enough coupons for free Hellman's mayo to last
the rest of my life, and they keep coming... and all I did was call to
complain about their inner lid seal being difficult to remove.

Gee, can I sendja my address? Are they good for any type of Hellman's?
I never saw a coupon for the cat stuff I bought. But, my furbaby is gone and I have no longer any need. I know you love cats, so you can understand the sorrow and guilt. I can't start a thread on it - just bury it in here and let it go at that. He was wonderful and we shared 13 plus years of fun and affection.

So sorry to hear that, Kalmia. I remember the last time we talked about him
wanting to go in and out of the house earlier last summer.

I lost my little girl-cat September 1, so I know how you're feeling. She
was 12.5 years old. Still have her big brother, but we miss her terribly.

Take care,

I'm still working on a gallon of pickle relish I bought 5 years ago.
(maybe someday I will learn my lesson) I keep it in the little dorm
fridge in the basement, with the beer and soda pop, and transfer it to a
small jar in the main fridge as we use it.

I should check if it will fit in a quart canning jar yet...

I am making a big effort to do this at the moment and thanks to attempting
but rather failing trying to be an Extreme couponer, I do have quite a bit
in my larder. But some of it needs to be used up right away.

I do have some frozen French fries and Tater Tots. Aside from a Tater Tot
type of casserole, I don't know what use those will have. Except to eat
them as is. I may end up tossing some of those because I am the only one
who currently eats them.

I do have a large bag of hash browns to use up. And in case any of you are
wondering why I would get such things and not make them from scratch,
well... I don't mind using them for one thing and I got them for free or
very cheap using coupons. I intend to use those to make something similar
to O'Brien potatoes except that they won't be cubes. I have plenty of bacon
and onions and I do have some red and green peppers. So I will mix those
things up and they will be dinner.

I am hoping that Winco will still have a good price on bell peppers so I
will be getting some more of those and some ground beef and make some
unstuffed peppers. I have never tried this before. Basically make like you
would stuffed peppers but you cut the peppers in bite sized pieces and mix
with your meat, tomato sauce, rice (if you are using it) and seasonings. I
figure I will have a better shot at getting daughter to eat the peppers if I
do it this way. Normally both she and my husband scoop all of their
stuffing out and put their peppers on my plate because they don't like to
eat them like that. I do have plenty of rice in the cupboard.

Looks like the beans are going to have to wait another week unless I just
cook up a small amount of plain ones.

Do you have anything like that you are going to use up this week? Maybe
because you have a lot of it? Or because it's getting rather old?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You did not ask for this type of advice, but I would like to make a
suggestion. The type of prepared food you mentioned here are among the
*worst* items for a diabetic. I do realize that you are very limited in
what you can eat, but I would suggest that you should not even consider
getting these items for yourself--even if they are free or very cheap. Yes,
it is wasteful to throw out good food, but it is even worse to eat food like
that when you are facing the problems of a diabetic. When I was first
diagnosed T2, I completely emptied my pantry of everything I should not eat
and gave everything to a food pantry. I have not replaced them. Of course,
you can't do that with frozen food. You will need to keep certain foods for
Angela and your husband even if you can't eat them, but it is difficult to
stick to a healthy diet if your pantry and fridge are loaded with food that
you should not eat.

You know........ just because there is a coupon for it and just

it.

When will people stop being brainwashed by advertising?

Don't buy all that processed crap, it's BAD for you. In the long run
it is MORE expensive simply because you buy it and either don't use it
or don't use it up before it goes bad (but with all the preservatives
in some of that stuff it will still be here long after the planet
dies).

Here's a suggestion. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably
organic or pesticide free and non GMO. Eat clean
pastured beef, pork and chicken, wild caught fish and pastured
eggs.

Stay completely away from packaged foods as much as possible.

You will live a healthier, happier life and spend way less money on
junk.

We don't eat junk food.

Well I don't know what it's like where you're at but here we can get snowed
in for a week or more at a time. So during the winter it is necessary to
keep extra food. I also try to stock up on the non-perishables when they
are on sale. Or buy some things at Costco where they are cheaper but you
have to buy a large amount.

Our current situation required me to stock up on extra food because we
didn't know when the next paycheck would come in or how much it would be.
And we still don't for sure. So we have plenty of beans, rice, pasta, and
other non-perishable things. Yes, I do have to buy some fresh food each
week. But if we really had to, we could eat off of what we had and we would
be fine.

I do not have time to go shopping every day. Yes, I could do that at the
Albertsons near the dance studio but by shopping only there, I would not
necessarily be getting the best prices or getting what I need. We generally
spread the bulk of our weekly shopping between 3 different stores and that's
not one of them. And there are still other stores that I have to shop at.
For instance to get turkey broth concentrate, I can only get it at three
stores and they are not the ones I normally shop at. And their prices are
higher. But they are necessary to go to sometimes.

I don't know how much food Americans throw away. I do know a very common
scenario in our house and my friend's house. Someone will decide that they
really, really like something. Say... Yogurt. So they are eating it every
day and you wind up stocking up on it when it goes on sale. Then all of a
sudden they are sick of it and never want to eat it again. And nobody else
in the house likes it. So out it goes. If this happens here with a
non-perishable, I will just give it to the food bank. But if it is
something like yogurt, they won't take it and I don't know anyone else who
will.

Yes. Compliments or complaints get you coupons. Daughter made a list of
everything we eat or use and I wrote to the companies. But I wasn't
necessarily able to use all of those coupons before the expired. The
problem? We already had all of that stuff and in some cases quite a lot of
it.

But that is exactly what I *have* to eat. I also have gastroparesis. A low
carb diet does not work for me. It pushes my blood sugar up to over 300 and
it stays there. Aside from my almost 500 number a couple of weeks ago due
to the stress (I think) of my screwed up insulin prescription, the saga of
which still continues... Most of my numbers have been in the normal range.
I am getting one hypo about every other day. It is extremely difficult to
control blood sugar when you have gastroparesis because you do not digest
your food the way that you should.

Mostly I have to eat easy to digest foods. And potatoes are in there. I do
not watch the fat content of my food because what I naturally prefer is low
to no fat. Because of this the dieticians I have seen have urged me to add
fat to my diet. So eating hash browns or French fries once in a while is
not a problem.

I can not eat fish or eggs or chicken. I don't eat pork except for
occasional bacon. I used to eat organic but now they are saying that
perhaps it isn't any better for you. And no, I am not one who thought that
it contained more nutrients. Just less chemicals. But now they are saying
that might not be true.

Not necessarily. You can save lots of money by eating junk. You would be
