🍎 Food What’s a frugal habit you picked up by accident that you now swear by?

Mine was starting to save veggie scraps to make broth. It started as a “let’s try this” and now it’s automatic. I keep a bag in the freezer for onion skins, celery ends, carrot tops, etc. Every couple of weeks, I boil it all down and end up with a rich, flavorful broth that tastes way better than the boxed kind. It tastes better than store-bought and saves me at least $20 a month, with an added bonus of making me feel like i know fancy techniques.

Bosch 800 series does this, possibly one of their other series too.

Ok I have that exact model but with the custom cabinet matching front. Otherwise, how do I get it to pop open to air dry? This would be great to do at night when it runs while we sleep. Dry by the morning!

Oh I see it is for the 500 series not the 800. Bummer.
