Looking back at my mom's no waste soup method changed my grocery budget

Remembering how my mom would never let food go to waste, she'd toss everything into a soup pot. I thought it was just her being careful with money, but now I see the wisdom. Like last week, I had some veggies about to go bad, so I threw them in with some broth and pasta. It turned into three meals for just a couple bucks, and it tasted great. Funny how her habits from back then are my go to money saver now.

What finally made it click for you?

My mom tried to teach me that for YEARS and I was just too dumb to listen. I used to toss out carrot tops and celery ends like a FOOL. Now my freezer is full of bags of veggie scraps for broth. The student has finally become the master, just twenty years late.
