Today is our washing up brush's birthday!
We've just realised that our washing-up brush is two years old today! I do the washing-up twice a day in very hot water indeed, and I got fed up of buying a new brush every few months, so I thought I'd give one of Lakeland's "Professional" ones a go. I can't remember exactly when we broke even on it, but we've certainly…

Feeding one on a realistic... with no freezer!
Hello MSE, I am heamouriging money on food, and not particularly healthy meals either. My problem is that I have very little storage and no 'stock' to speak of. I also have no freezer, which makes batch cooking difficult. If you were living alone, realistically what budget could you live on? (With the above parameters) I…

Does this seem good value?
I have quite frankly had enough of paying the rip off supermarket prices for meat etc. and our local butchers unfortunately is out of my price range.
