Old Style MoneySaving

A question about : Grocery Shopping budget thread

Hi there! We're having a lot of threads asking about budgets for grocery shopping. Until now, Pink-winged and I have merged these into the current Grocery Challenge thread. However, I'm aware that they can become lost there, so in future, they'll be added to this thread, so that people who ask about how much others spend on groceries can be directed here.

A question about : No T Words mentioned at all

I'm very aware that the old Not Mentioning the T word thread has kind of come to a halt. Some of our regulars had sad news and difficult situations recently and I thought maybe it was time for a fresh start? I don't want to offend anyone so if you think I'm out of order just say and I'll ask one of the board mods to merge this with the old thread (which is here if anyone wants to view it)

Anyway -

A question about : What have you baked today?

While I wait for the timer to go off, I'm just wondering who else is baking today and what yummy goodies they are making

It's Australia Day on Tuesday and I have several Aussie workmates so I've made some Anzac biscuits to bring to work.

Also while the oven was heated I thought I might as well make a cake so I've thrown a Victoria sponge in there and I'll sandwich it together with lemon curd, for a change.

Anyone else baked something tasty today?

A question about : Preparedness for when the SHTF

the boy scouts among us will be prepared, but are the rest of us ready?

A question about : Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 9. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

Hello, everyone I've been asked, ever so nicely, so shiny new thread for you all

As some of you know there's been some discussion lately on how to accomodate weight loss diets on the board. It was decided that the daily isn't the place for campaigns of any sort and that there was a very good weight loss thread on the I wanna board which would offer excellent support to anyone wishing to join.

A question about : Big sack of potatoes

Hi all,

After abit of advice. DH bought a massive sack of potatoes that were on offer yesterday for Ј2 {in M0rris0ns}. Normally our limit is mash, and that is something we don't eat very often.

Do you have any ideas what I could use them for? I have already thought of some for soup, some for mash for tops of pies like shepherds pie etc. But then I'm stumped. I know I could make a batch of wedges/roasties and freeze but I'm terrible at making these and then not using them and throwing them out.
