Waste Not-Want Not

After yesterday's splurging, I felt the need to eat extra-cheap today.  I saw a clip on YouTube about saving money which suggested not grocery shopping one week a month, but using up the leftovers you already have instead.  Well, I don't know if I can ever pull that off for a week, but lunch today was a good start.  I used up some "lonely foods."  I had 3 lonely slider buns(abandoned because of their dryness), 1 lonely hotdog(what kid is gonna eat it without a hotdog bun??), and 1 lonely piece of cheese (abandoned because of it's one dark edge).  I added a little butter to the buns, added slices of the hotdog, removed the dark edge of the cheese and divided it up amongst the now happy slider buns.  Into the oven they all went, emerging a few minutes later to be enjoyed.  They were actually really good!  Waste not, want not!
