Video: Consider Doing a Fiscal Fast for One Week

Interested in saving money?  Want to make your life more efficient?  Jeff Yeager, the ultimate cheapskate has some tips on how to start a fiscal fast.  Use up food from the cupboard, avoid spending money on entertainment, conserve fuel by carpooling, and change other habits.

It's amazing how much food is wasted every year, as it spoils and has to be thrown away. Many food banks will take food that is past the sell by date and distribute it, but why not use it up yourself.  Food banks will distribute some canned goods ten years after the sell-by date.  So, it is definitely safe to eat canned goods many years after the date printed on the can.  (Instead, give cash to the food bank and they can use that more efficiently than old canned goods.)  

Don't know how to combine some ingredients from your cupboard?  Try a Google search with the items and the word recipe.  It may turn up no results, but you could also find some very imaginative food combinations.
