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.

    Great idea. My wife was going through those packets like crazy, and that was fine while they were on sale, but not anymore.

    We do have plain oatmeal, but I’ll float the idea of making our own brown sugar oatmeal!
