That sounds like a great way to save money! I hadn't thought of dehydrating some herbs. I need to get some going. Going out to eat is a huge money pit, huh? It's so crazy. When we moved to Panama, we were used to eating out pretty regularly, but the area we live in now doesn't really have that option. Now we just go out to eat once a week when we do our grocery run to the big town an hour from us that has a McDs and Dominos. ;) We also used to be big into amazon and eBay, but since mail in Panama isn't an option, we cut those out cold turkey! I'm looking forward to your other posts about frugality!
