It’s time to share your frugal and nourishing tips and recipes! Where do you shop for quality food at a lower price? What recipe saves a penny? How do you balance a budget with nourishing food? Share here.
Please read through the three simple rules for those participating. This helps keep the quality of our carnival. Please read them through before linking and thanks again for your continued participation.
1) No linking to giveaways or promotions for affiliates or sponsors. One thing that I’ve noticed increasingly on Pennywise Platter is that I am getting more and more promotional pieces for affiliates or sponsors and a lot of giveaways. I’ve decided to keep Pennywise less “commercial” and more in tune with the spirit of the carnival by not allowing these links anymore. There was nothing wrong with those of you who linked to them, I just think that it will protect the integrity of our carnival better without them. Plus, it makes our links valuable in the future as well. A link to a giveaway three months old isn’t going to be worth browsing in three months time, but a link to a recipe for a frugal soup would be. I will be deleting any giveaway links or promotional links.
2) Keep the ingredients “nourishing”, such as whole grains, meats, vegetables, legumes, unrefined salt and sugars, chicken, etc. I am not going to be an ingredient police every week, but if there is a link to a post that is obviously not filling any of the criteria for healthy (for example, a white flour, white sugar birthday cake), I will delete that link. However, feel free to post vegetarian, vegan, raw, low-carb, etc.
3) Link back to the carnival This is common carnival courtesy. And more then that, it helps build the community of the carnival as you are sending your readers to others participating. And please, as a blogger, check out other’s posts and leave a comment! I know that we would all love to hear from each other.

I posted about the nutritional profile and great flavor of marrow bones. You can find good deals on marrow bones at ethnic markets which can make this a rich and inexpensive treat.

Love your blog carnival. This week I posted a fabulous arugula and cashew and raisin mixed green salad. Colorful and nutritious.
Thanks for hosting again! I shared a recipe for our favorite nourishing and simple dal made with red lentils.
Thanks so much for hosting! This is my first carnival and I’m so excited (you are the first food blog that I started following years ago). I shared a nourishing Peach Ice Cream recipe with dairy-free option. Summer peaches are a favorite in my house. We look forward to making this simple peach ice cream every summer.
I shared a super easy way to make coconut milk using dried shredded coconut.

Kimi,
Thanks for hosting!! I love browsing through all the great recipes & posts every week. This week I’m sharing doughnut muffins made with freshly ground whole wheat flour, and a little bit about my oldest daughter going away for the first time on a mission trip.
Have a GREAT weekend!!

Thanks for hosting, Kimi! I’m linking a delicious and simple potato salad. A perfectly refreshing dish for a hot summer day!
I posted recipes for my new favorite soup and basil salmon salad. Thanks for hosting!
Thanks for hosting, Kimi!
This week I’m sharing about my search for affordable probiotics when I realized that fermented foods weren’t adequate to rebuilding my husband’s digestive system on the GAPS diet.
I just posted a brief pseudo-recipe from my first adventure making fermented-only pickles (previously, I had made short-ferment following by hot water bath canning pickles). They’re delicious, and very easy!
I shared a recipe for Irish Beef Stew that was AMAZINGLY delicious. Hope you all like it too!
I posted a few links. My favorite {addictive} sprouted lentil salad, my simple go-to tomato sauce (pizza, pasta, spaghetti squash), and my lacto-fermented homemade mayo. Thank you for hosting!
I posted a link telling about my first time rendering beef tallow.
Hi again! Thanks for hosting, Kimi. Today I am talking about packing lunches and bringing snacks to avoid expensive and unhealthy treats when out and about!
This week I posted about our dinner straight from the garden, with a recipe for Summer Squash and Gruyere Pie.
My post today is about subway… do the world a favor and never eat their again!
