Default Re: Most outlandish frugal thing you did

I used to squeeze the packets of ketchup into the bottle - now i just keep the packets in a container, it was too much trouble to put them in the bottle. I have dumped the salt & pepper packets into the shakers.

I think my children would starve if it wasn't for Wendy's chicken nuggets. I soothe my frugal soul by asking for ranch dressing with them, the kids then take the ranch to school with the carrots they take for snacks. This has saved me a small fortune on salad dressing & is much neater than putting the bottled dressing into a small container to carry to school. When we're stocked up on ranch, I get bbq sauce to use at home. We get Wendy's twice a week, x 3 kids, so we get lots of condiments. Also I save the extra napkins, I just toss them into the basket I leave on the table.
