Well, it was pointed out to me, quite kindly, that some frugal choices are to have dial up vs. DSL so I will try to put it into words what was in the video post just prior to this one.
I *DO* know that you can choose 'dial up' as an option for viewing on youtube if that helps some people (because I'm not sure I'm going to make much sense with words) 
Okay mostly it's about tomato tops, tomato bottoms and left-over slices.
They are very valuable!
Cut all the usable tomato off of the tops away from the core and store in an airtight container to use in omelet’s, on tacos, in salads. These are firmer than the rest of the tomato and can hold up to a wide range of uses.
In the video, you can see how just a few tops of tomatoes gave me a really big container of diced tomatoes to use.
Left-over slices (pre-sliced for sandwiches) and the bottom (with the teeny little black tip) are much softer, but don't have to be thrown away either. Chop these up and put in salsas, gazpacho, or in sauces and soups. They freeze well for this use also, so no excuse that they won't be used after chopping.
I've seen so many people toss the ends, tops and slices into the garbage. With a little creative depravity, those would-be scraps can add or even build a whole new meal!
Best Blessings!
