Tap into your creativity and ingenuity to cut food costs. Don't ever buy vegetable, beef, or chicken broth again. Instead of throwing out the scraps, toss them in a container and freeze. When it's full, dump your stash into a pot, cover with water and simmer for up to two hours: then strain and toss the remnants into the compost pile. You've made a free, delicious base for all kinds of dishes!
