Frugal Living Tip: Save Money on Cold Medicine with Vitamins??
You just left a meeting where everyone was sniffling, sneezing and coughing. Germs flying everywhere. It is certian that within three days you are going to be joining the masses with the same cold and taking expensive cold medication just to get by.
WAIT! Do something about your cold before it starts. When you know that exposure has happened, pull out a bottle of Vitamin C supplements. A bottle with 90 500mg capsules will cost less than $5 at drug stores and mega retailers. Take two pills, twice a day for two days after exposure to boost your immune system. Even better if your supplement is Vitamin C with D combo. It will prime your body to fight off the infection before it settles in. Take at the first symptoms of a cold to cut it in half too!

Frugal Living Tip - Freezer Soup
Take an empty large plastic container and start putting the spoonful or two of vegetables that are leftover after a meal. Store in the freezer. Any time that you are roast a chicken or turkey, throw the extra juices in the plastic containers. Keep layering all those wonderful leftovers in the freezer containers until they are full. Do not worry about seperating the vegetables. Mix them up. Bits of meat can go in there too if you desire. Just avoid putting fatty bits. When you have one or two full containers, put them on the stove for a simple base for a soup!
If you have saved up enough drippings, you will basically just be able to thaw out a wonderful chicken veggie soup from your freezer. Add just a bit of salt or pepper. Maybe some onion or garlic (powder or fresh for either). Save up all summer when veggies are more plentiful, and you can have plenty of soup base all winter long.
