@Ann

You would know as they would come. I’m not sure if there is a way to request them in most areas of the US.

I’m a newbie when it comes to couponing and you mentioned get coupon inserts in the mail. How does one find out if they can get them in their area?

Have you tried calling your local newspaper distributor especially for the older inserts? If you’re in a metro area, they probably have extras on hand for the readers that call to say they didn’t get any in their paper (I used to work at my local paper’s customer service call center). I know one of our local distributors had on hand up to 30 days worth at a time, but he was a major distributor with many areas and employees. You can call the paper’s customer service to find out the name/number of the distributor and see what kind of deal you can work out with just getting extra inserts.

Can you post a list of what you still have (including spices?) maybe you can keep a page and keep updating it as you use things. I just found your blog today, and am really interested in what you’re doing – and I like to cook, and will gladly give you ideas if I know what you have. It sounds like you’re already getting some awesome recipes, though.

For example, if you still have carrots, cream cheese, sugar, and raisins, you might very well have the ingredients for carrot cake…

@erika It is in some areas – check with your local laws before you decide to do something like this.

I thought taking trash or recycling materials from someone elses bins was illegal?

A tornado is about what all new cooks leave behind them. I used to hate it when my roommate would cook because I would have to do the cleanup and she just didn’t understand the economization of dishes.

Since the clean up sucks if you do your own it’s amazing how quickly you start to think “If I just rinse this under the water I can use it for my next step” or “If I rinse this RIGHT NOW I can throw it in the dish washer, rather than have to scrub it if I wait until I’m done eating.”

For example I use my chef’s knife (the huge one that always makes you think of “Psycho”) to cut just about everything and rinse and wipe it immediately. When measuring you can use that dirty 1/2 measuring cup twice to get to 1 cup, and when you’re experience enough to know when close enough is good for something you can use it for 1/4 cup as well.

Ultimately the more you hate to do dishes the more creative you get.
