I now use a metal water bottle with a special lid so that I no longer have to buy water in a plastic bottle. (I try to think that I am also helping to save the planet as well as money).Save 12K in 2026 no 16

Have encouraged local butcher to save his chicken carcasses for us. Every so often we get a free carrier bag full of them and cook them down for delicious stock for soups and risottos.0

I am annoyed by the cost of face powder, so I made a mixture I had read about on the internet: baking powder mixed with powdered cinnamon to add a little colour. Don't laugh immediately....I find it perfectly adequate. |You have to make sure it does not "clump" on the face, so I rub it in with an old powder puff.0

Was recently on holiday in Canada and noticed in the outside restaurants they had brown paper bags hanging from the sun parasols. I was told that these keep the wasps away - and apparently it works! so no need to make up paper mache.0

I read somewhere that cocoa powder makes a very suitable bronzer. I offer this untested.Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).0 -
One of the things I do is to write the date opened on toiletries, makeup and cleaning products, together with how long the last one lasted. That way, I know when I need to buy the replacement without having to stockpile or, worse, running out first. In addition, it gives me an incentive to try to make a product last just a little bit longer than the last one did.
I also do this with dried goods (herbs, spices, rice, flour and baking power), sticking labels onto their Tupperware storage containers."Be the type of woman that when you get out of bed in the morning, the devil says 'Oh crap. She's up.' "
