I shop at the farmer's market and keep a list of what I've bought on the fridge, striking off items as we use them. When it's 6 p.m. and I'm desperate and hungry, it helps remind me of the many delicious dinner options we have. As a result, we eat out about once every 2 weeks. For many Americans, throwing out food at the end of the week is the biggest source of wasted money and our precious resources. Thriftiness starts with buying what we actually need.

My MIL gave me onion goggles. I've gotten used to breathing through my mouth (instead of my nose) when cutting onions, and it seem to do the trick (plus I wear contacts). The onion goggles don't look terribly flattering (but they do help you look like Bono).
