What’s a frugal trick you’ve chanced upon recently?

I accidentally semi-reinvented the “trencher”. Basically, in medieval times, food would be served on a slab of bread and that would kinda be the plate. Or, you know, bread bowls for soup and the like.

I have an air fryer, and I’ve learned I can line the basket in a large flour tortilla, and it generally keeps whatever I’m cooking/warming up from getting the pan too dirty aside from some easily knocked-out crumbs.

I hate washing things, and I hate wasting paper liners, so it lets me cut down on those, and I can just eat the tortilla.

    I have no idea if this is feasible for a house, but some folks who do RVing and such get discount used panels/slightly blemished panels and put those on their rigs because they’re a bit cheaper than new. There’s actually a lot in the market these days, esp. in the west.

    Maybe companies won’t install solar for you if you’re using salvaged/reused panels, or there’s some other hurdle, but it might be an interesting idea to poke.
