Thrifty Thursday



Everyone hates eating leftovers, but by throwing them out you are basically throwing money away. There is lots of things you can do with leftovers to create a new meal. With leftovers you can create soups, casseroles, and meat pies. For soup simply use your leftover meat and vegetables, add them to a pot with stock and heat. For casseroles add your leftover meat and vegetables to pasta and cream of mushroom soup, put in a casserole dish, top with some grated cheese and heat. For meat pies add your leftover meat and veggies to cans of gravy and pour in a pie shell and top with pastry. By using your leftovers you can save yourself some money.

Stop by next week for more thrifty hints on how to save money!

Great post. I'm big on saving left-overs- whenever we're in restaurants or even from previous meals. :)

I've heard that people hate leftovers, but I find that hard to believe. Leftovers are great! Some things taste even better the 2nd time around. I do a lot of this kind of thing, too - changing things a little and making casseroles so that it's not exactly the same thing.

I know people who will not eat left overs at all, it is such a wicked waste. I use all mine up somehow but one good way is to make crepes and then put the left overs inside roll them up and put a little grated cheese on top and pop in microwave for a second to melt.
