Maybe dry the peels for poupuri?....I know I spelled that wrong.

I've done several of these with lemon peels & also orange peels. I don't have too many recipes that call for the zest, but I have some in the freezer if I need it.

Hoarding (oops I mean saving ) anything for years on end so it can be sold for pittance is waste of time and space. My DH saved 20 oz. soda bottles for 6 yrs and only made $8.00. It takes up so much space and is just gross!

Lisa Berry,

Yep! I agree sounds a bit over the top. I suppose that would be called hoarding and not frugal.

I suppose this might qualify as being frugal. We haven't paid for cable TV since early 2000.. and have never had a dish for TV. The money saved over the decade has paid for several very nice vacations. I may weaken soon and have basic cable installed. It's a LONG winter here in Maine.

You might check out which shows can be viewed off of websites before deciding to add that expense, Newdaawn.

NewDaawn, I watch tv shows on my computer all the time (even though we have cable) because it allows me to watch them at my convenience so Roberta's idea could be useful.

Hi Ladies,

I am soooo excited, my friend gave me 2 Tightwad Gazettes for a Christmas present. What a blessing! and so sweet of her.

Blessings,
