If you live on a rural property, you need to be prepared for the possibility of an animal invasion. These animals don't mean you any harm but they want the food and shelter your property provides and could be dangerous in that quest.

What are your experiences with these animals? Have you ever had any encounters? Have you experienced any of the dangers mentioned in the article?

Whether you’re dumpster-diving-for-food poor, have an incredibly limited grocery budget, or have a garden variety thrifty grocery budget, you’ll find some ideas that work for you. Most of the suggestions also consider that someone with a tight budget probably spends a lot of time working and can’t always deliver every single bite from lengthy scratch-cooking processes.

This can’t really be called a cookbook as much as it is a "hodgepodge of thrifty ideas about food." You can substitute ingredients in just about every recipe based on what you have on hand. The flexibility is what helps to make it so frugal. The foods you’ll make are truly YOUR meals, based on what you have, what you’ll eat, and what you can afford.

Saving money in the kitchen doesn’t have to be dull and depressing. These frugal ideas, paired with the right attitude (and a sense of humor), will level up your menu!
