Pita chips (or tortilla chips)

I will not pay $4.99 for a small bag of pita chips! Not when I can get a 6 pack of pitas for $0.89 or sometimes 2/$1.00 from almost any of the Asian or Polish markets around here! We only ever use 2 at a time so we usually make the rest into chips instead of letting the bag sit in the freezer forever. You can also make tortilla chips exactly the same way.

Here's what you need and how you do it!

Apple Pie Bundles

Remember that bit of pie dough that I had you save? It probably ended up being a ball about the size of your fist right? We're going to use that to make these apple pie bundles that we're having for breakfast.

You need:

• Pie dough
• An apple
• 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Optional: Raisins, nuts, a sprinkle of ginger powder

12 ways you're probably wasting money

There are literally hundreds of ways you're wasting money every day. A lot of things you don't realize until it's pointed out to you.

1) Buying drinks - How many times a week are you buying a bottle of water or soda because you get thirsty while you're out? Something as simple as bringing a reusable bottle of cold water with you can save you a ton of money each year.
2) Shopping hungry - You are much more likely to deviate from your grocery list when you're hungry. Junk food just seems to jump into your cart off the shelf.
3) Driving more than necessary - Walk or use public transit when possible. Most major cities have excellent and fast public transit systems. We walk to the grocery store and going downtown on the skytrain is way better than looking for and paying for parking.
4) Single serving anything - If you buy microwave dinners or those little snack bags of chips just knock it off. The markup on those is insane and there are always better options.
5) No preparation - Before you go shopping, make a list and stick to it. Before work, pack a lunch. Bring snacks if you know you'll be out all day.
