Thrifty Tips (October 11, 2018)
If you have a late bumper crop of tomatoes this year, consider freezing them whole. As long as you are using them in soups and sauces, the freezing will not affect the taste and the peels will slip right off. Check out today's featured tip for more.

Freeze Surplus Tomatoes

By Judy

A ziptop bag of whole tomatoes to be frozen.It seems that tomatoes all ripen at the same time. If you know you cannot use your tomatoes before they go bad, freeze them whole in a freezer bag. They can be used for cooking or making sauce. When you are ready to use them, run them under hot water and their skins will peel right off. Use the skins for tuna melt sandwiches.

Don't Toss Plastic Lids

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

A container of seafood salad with cottage cheese lid.I love seafood salad. I got some the other day and after a few forkfuls, promptly lost the lid. I could have used a cottage cheese container but ran the risk of forgetting what was inside. There was not a painters tape roll to be found for labeling, so I came up with the next best thing. By using the lid on their store containers, I see what is inside but still keep it fresh.
