Money saving tip: Make your own pickles

To make your own pickles the easy way, use the leftover liquid from the last jar of pickles you bought. Just slice a cucumber into the liquid and leave in the fridge for 3-7 days. It works with most brands, but if it doesn't work with yours, try a different brand.

If you feel more creative, you can try pickling other veggies as well, or start a separate jar for peppers. Or if you really want to save, you can grow your own cukes or other veggies for mere pennies.
