Do Vegetable Gardens Waste More Money Than They Save?

on
I was bopping along the Internet when I found myself in a discussion about frugal advice people hate. Basically, those tips to save money that don’t apply to you. And the number one way to save money that actually wasted money was – plant a garden. This was followed by people saying that vegetable gardens cost them more money than they saved because it cost them $40 to grow one tomato and that vegtable gardening is a waste of money. On the one hand I tend to agree because growing a vegetable gardening to save money is playing the long game. Save this idea to your Pinterest Boards for later! Share it with your friends!

20 Pumpkin Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

on
Helllllllllllllo pumpkin season! My family loves this time of year. We get to eat one of the world’s tastiest and most budget friendly and nutritional foods around – the pumpkin!

Many folks, including myself once upon a time, only use pumpkin to make desserts which is fine (and could you pass the pumpkin pie around the dinner table again? I want seconds) but are seriously missing out on pumpkin’s  national benefits.  According to WebMD:

”Pumpkins are loaded with vitamin A and fiber, and low in calories. So don't just buy canned pumpkin for pie; keep it in the pantry to whip up…homemade pumpkin recipes"






Once I started thinking about how to use pumpkin as the squash that it is, my meals got a lot more pumpkintastic and for less since I bake, puree, and freeze our Halloween pumpkins for later treats.
