Waste Not Want Not Wednesday #26

Got a great gluten free recipe, some frugal tips or a healthy living article? Well come join the party!

The Waste Not Want Not Wednesday link-up party is inspired by World Food Day (Oct. 16), and recent articles such as this one that show between 40-51% of food in Canada and America ends up in the garbage.  Over-consumption, lack of knowledge, low cost and over purchasing are common causes of food waste in North America.  This unsustainable over-consumption extends to so many aspects of our lives.

So perhaps if we all share our tips for consuming a little less stuff in general, cooking more responsibly and frugally, and living eco-friendly, we can each take a small part in making our world a little more sustainable.

And besides, who couldn't save a little bit of $$$ anyway? 

Last week's top posts were:

 

  

DIY Cards and More from Grandparents Plus

Basic Bread (Gluten Free/Yeast Free/ Dairy Free/ Refined Sugar Free) 

from Sandi's Allergy Free




A secret aid for getting up in the morning from Jo's Health Corner

Each week I'll post the entries on my Waste Not Want Not Pinterest board, and feature different posts on my  Facebook and Google+ pages so be sure to check in there, too to see if you've been featured!


This week I'm sharing a tutorial for taking cuttings from a bunch of store-bought mint and some Cuban Oregano, and how to propagate them.  It's fun for kids and definitely frugal!
