What's a frugal trick you've chanced upon recently?

I accidentally semi-reinvented the "trencher". Basically, in medieval times, food would be served on a slab of bread and that would kinda be the plate. Or, you know, bread bowls for soup and the like.

I have an air fryer, and I've learned I can line the basket in a large flour tortilla, and it generally keeps whatever I'm cooking/warming up from getting the pan too dirty aside from some easily knocked-out crumbs.

I hate washing things, and I hate wasting paper liners, so it lets me cut down on those, and I can just eat the tortilla.

I have a bag from Amazon. Comes in a powder. Also good for cleaning your dishwasher.

It's also great as a detergent booster in the dishwasher. Regular detergent goes in the prewash cup, and then citric acid goes in the main detergent cup. Prevents hard water buildup on the dishes.
