So, this may sound a bit oddball, but I learned this camping when I was young -- camp toast.
When I make an egg for myself or a family member, I use the remaining fat in the pan from cooking the egg (bacon grease, butter-oil mixture or ham fat) to toast bread and "butter" my toast. I drop a slice of bread into the hot pan and push it around the pan to catch all of the remaining fat. The pan and the stove top still have residual heat, so it even uses less energy to toast my bread this way, although I'll leave the stove on for a minute or two longer to continue the heat high enough to toast bread. When the toast is done, it's already "buttered" and just needs a bit of jam. The bonus is I use far less dish soap to then clean the pan.
Save butter, save energy, save dish soap.
What small frugal thing do you do that may not be something "normies" do?
That's so smart!
ReplyDeleteI squeegee the shower walls every time after I take a shower. I do not enjoy this, but it means I only have to scrub the shower walls once or twice a year. I use a squeegee from the dollar store.
