Never Buy Kethcup, Mustard, Soy Sauce, or Mayo

Never buy these sauces again. I know this sounds a bit extreme, especially if you frequently serve fish sticks and chicken nuggets to a toddler.  You probably wipe a quarter cup of ketchup off of the floor every day.

Did you know that when you eat out at a fast food joint or local restaurant, you can actually walk home with numerous sauce packets?  Of course, you did.  You might not have thought much about it, but your office kitchen probably has loads of these packets lying around too. Most likely these sauces will simply be discarded. 

Some restaurants will literally allow you to take handfuls of packets.  This leads to stockpiles at work.  Some stingy places will keep their sauces behind the counter, but experience has shown that clerks are sometimes very generous with handing out packets. So, get yourself a jar, and fill it up with sauce packets for easy storage. Bring some home from work and enjoy your savings.
