Doggy Bag It!

I’ve got a Works For Me Wednesday tip that might sound a bit odd, but it really did work for me this week so I’m sharing. It was my way of adding a little frugality to a non-frugal situation.
Sunday night we went out to eat. That’s a once every couple of months affair for us, so we like to enjoy it when we do. We headed to the local Mexican restuarant, which is so yummy and serves huge plate fulls of food for a decent price. The plates are so full, in fact, that after Dearest was stuffed with his fajitas there was still a mountain of grilled veggies left over. So we got a to-go box and brought them home.
I managed to withhold myself from munching on the grilled onions until tonight. We decided on chili for supper so I pulled out those saved veggies, diced them up, and added them to the pot. They added an amazing flavor to the chili, and I didn’t have to spend extra to buy them at the store.
So that’s my tip for this week. If you go out to eat and find yourself with a pile of food left on your plate think aobut what you could do with it at home. You’ve already paid for it, you might as well put it to good use!
