Not Splashing the Cash

Continuing on the cheese theme.
Don't buy grated cheese grate your own and freeze it.


If you still use washing up liquid ( dish soap) try putting it into a pump dispenser bottle that way you could resist the temptation of squishing a lot more than you need into the water.

Learn the difference between:

a best before....date... This is a date that manufacturers guarantee the flavour and appearance of goods but they are perfectly sound to eat after that date.

A sell by... date meaning the product must be sold on or before that date but again it will be ok to eat after that date.

Then the use by.... date often on fresh products. These are slightly different and mean that the product is not fresh after that date if you eat them after this date you must rely on common sense.

By knowing what these dates mean and that food is often safe to use after certain dates you can save yourself a lot of wastage.

I think Pris was just demonstrating that comedy can be found cheaply on the internet.

Make more dinner at dinnertime and have the leftovers for lunch.

Im guessing most of you know that every A brand also creates other b brands and in some cases home no brands.

Look at washing powder , in Europe there are two major players Lever bros and proctor and gamble. They make many brands at various price points and much of it coming from the same factory.

Unilever's largest detergent brand, OMO (also known as Persil, Skip, Surf Excel depending on where you live)


Flour .. finer grains etc well I know they provide flour for various supermarket brands as well..
Its the same story from tv' s to cars..

Reserch your A brand and see other companies or names they use.

Yes, store brands to substitute  for name brands. Often they are just as good or so close you can't tell. 

Oh, another good way to save money.. if your stores have these sections... always check the discount sections where you might find things for even half the price because it's being discontinued. or no longer sold in their store. or they got something new in that needed that spot, etc.

Also, again, if your stores do this... buy the meat that is marked off/discounted because the sell by date is within a day or two. I save about $2 on meat when I do that, and I usually just immediately freeze it if I'm not going to cook something that day with it.

I am usually on the lookout for buy-one-get-one sales as well, and I will stock up when that happens. There are e-flyers I receive via email now, so I can check in advance, but I don't always do this.. if I need something, then I'll buy it regardless, but I like saving money when/where I can. A lot of items I purchase are marked off or on sale.

Another good saving is buying cheap wild bird food. Why would they need quality fat balls?

Reuse aluminian foil, reuse plastic food baggies, if you use streaky bacon save the left over fat for cooking and flavouring, if you have a garden dry your clothes outside.

I do the same... especially aluminum foil if it's still clean and doesn't have anything baked or caked on it, then I use it multiple times... mainly as a cover for my baking dishes while in the oven or in the fridge. It can take me a while to go through it.

Recycle as much as possible. Also upcycle old furniture and other items instead of throwing them away. Re-use where possible.
