Forget Budget Apps—The Amish Have the Ultimate Money-Saving System

Strict Dinner Rules

Households here don’t acknowledge the phrase “picky eater,” which is almost as foreign as a smartphone. From the time they’re in high chairs, Amish children learn the golden rule of dining: You eat what’s on the plate, no ifs, ands, or buts. It’s a masterclass in minimizing waste and appreciating every morsel.

Imagine the savings if we all adopted this no-leftover lifestyle. Groceries would stretch further, and meal planning would be a breeze. Embracing the Amish approach could turn dinner time into a cost-cutting, waste-reducing operation. Plus, who knows? We might discover that the dreaded Brussels sprouts are actually pretty tasty.
