As the previous thread here had got very long, this is a new one for a continuation of the discussion.

From the original first post of the previous thread:

A question about : "Eat Well For Less?"

Just watching the latest BBC monry-saver offering, Eat Well For Less? and wondered what other MSE'rs thought?

I was pleasantly surprised to see the boys eating sausages with boiled new potatoes, broccoli & gravy, albeit with mushy peas , but was quite tickled to see top-up shops at Booths, a Lancashire chain similar in range & prices as Waitrose ...we can spend Јs in there quite easily!

A question about : What are You Making For Dinner Tonight ?

Hi I know that there is a what have you baked today, what is in your slow cooker today and the weekly meal planner threads already but there does not seem to be a What are cooking for dinner tonight thread.

I just wondered if anyone would like to join me in this perhaps we can get tips and inspiration from each other.

To start us off I am doing Homemade chilli with spicy wedges today

A question about : Calgary

Hi I am with N power at the moment, I have a fixed price deal which ends shortly. On the energy comparison site I can switch to a better deal with another company but there is an early exit fee of Ј60. There is also listed a better deal with n power with no early exit fee. If I switch to a better deal with the same company ( N power) would i still qualify for the Ј30 cashback payable after three months.

A question about : Feed a family of four for Ј20 a week challenge

This is coming from the Ј7 a week thread. We need ideas on healthy meals for a family of four with Ј20 a week, this must include fruit and veg and protein. And like the Ј7 a week thread there is no stock cupboard. Can we do it guys and gals?

A question about : loaf cake?

I often make a loaf cake to slice and put in the freezer so we can take out a slice or two at a time (otherwise we'd eat the lot at once!) but was just wondering, can I make any cake in a loaf tin? I know it sounds daft, but I thought if it's deeper, it might not cook through in the same way it would in a sponge tin (or bun tins).

Any thoughts or shall I just risk it?!

Thanks

A question about : What Frugal/Cheap/Old Style websites do you visit

Here is a couple apart from MSE that I visit.

https://www.fool.co.uk/ -LBYM forum. I don't post often but do pick ideas up

https://frugalliving.about.com/index.htm?terms=frugal -US website but rather like here where people chat. Click on forum on the Left hand side near the bottom of the page.

I visit the above daily.

This one I visit about once a week.
