Many people now review their expenses and try to stop wasting. One person who has already been doing it for years is Ernst Kirchsteiger. He has long been cooking seasonal food and giving new life to old things.
Here he comes up with his three best tips for autumn.

1. Save leftovers and bake your own bread
Food leftovers are nothing to be afraid of, says Kirchsteiger. Leftovers are something that can be worked on, that should be saved and taken care of.
— To my great horror, I have heard that young people throw away food. Leftovers are more of an opportunity than a problem and usually much tastier if left to their own devices. I often cook too much to have leftovers!
He also advocates baking your own bread instead of buying. Partly because it is cheaper, but because it also gives a lovely feeling and atmosphere in the home.
— Bake your own bread and you also get the good heat and aroma from the oven. The sweet happiness of taking out a big puffy loaf of bread and you feel like the perfect person – you get so happy.

2. Free summons
Something that creates atmosphere, and which is cheap at the same time, is nature’s own interior design. Kirchsteiger reminds us that what creates an atmosphere is available completely free of charge.
— Go out and gather the most beautiful maple leaf branches. It can transform the whole feel of the room. Pick chanterelles or lingonberries, make something good out of it and invite your friends. The raw material is completely free!

3. Learn to knit
When autumn falls, the urge to shop increases for many. Instead of buying new clothes and shoes, the decorator believes that it is possible to liven up an old sweater or coat in other ways. He thinks you should be proud of keeping the wardrobe as it is.
— Liven up what you already have. Maybe learn to knit and liven it all up with a new scarf, which you also created yourself, he says and continues:
— And the absolute classic – it’s never wrong to have a warm friend in a warm knitted sweater that you can put on when you’re feeling a little better, instead of turning up the elements. Pick yourself up a little, it’s nice.
