And there's always something new about being thrifty on the Internet, to remind me that being a tightwad is timeless. I was happy about how much of the info still has "strategic" value, even if the specifics are dated. A big decision for a big problem back then. I did not move to my hometown but finally we located in a town that did not require toll calls to my family. In fact, back in the day my husband wanted to move to a town that meant toll calls for me to my family. Hey, has anyone here ever heard of the book The Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn She used to have this gazette in Maine (I think) back in the 90’s and she published them as 3 books, then finally all her gazettes in one HUGE book as The Complete Tightwad Gazette. So much has to do with the expense of phone calls back then. There are many great ideas, but I am more impressed with how much of it does not relate because of the different times we live in.
I have always been a tightwad and developed it naturally on my own and I cannot say that anyone in my family inspired me to be that way. It truly is a life-changing book, and much more approachable than some of the financial unicorn stories that are popular as clickbait. If you want to kick it up a bit, croutons or canned french fried onions and in the oven for a few minutes (use a cast iron skillet from the start).Ī go-to quick & hearty meal when a hunting day isn’t as productive as everyone hoped.This is one of my all-time favorite books on frugal living! I got the original 3 books via an internet book swap, then passed them on when I had the chance to get the complete book.
I just checked off all the boxes in about 15 minutes – protein, carbs, veges and cheese. Just double everything and use a bigger skillet. Note that it is easy to “scale up” this meal for a larger crowd. Now add the scalloped potato kit (using a little less water/milk as they reccomend). Can’t blame them.)ġpackage of skillet scalloped potatoes from the grocery.Ĭut the sausage into 1/2 thick slices and saute on both sides. The canned stuff is why people say “I don’t like it”. My favorite 1 skillet dinner follows your ideas –ġ Beef Polish Kielbasa (or other sausage)ġ pound of Sauerkraut (home made is best, but otherwise the fresh kraut in the refrigerator case at the grocery.
