Old oils and vinegars
I'm sorry if this has been discussed previously, but I can't find an answer. I've just been checking my oils and vinegars and some are way beyond the best before dates. I will keep ordinary vinegar (white and malt) forever, but what about apple cider vinegar, flavoured vinegars and wine vinegars? They get a bit sedimenty,…

Frugaling my way to FIRE
Hi all I have always spent most of my time on the DFW boards as have spent the majority of my adult life in debt (thanks to a 1990s education that didn't talk about money, parents who weren't well off but hid it very well and being given loads of credit cards when I started university with no education about what that…

Slow Living - Doing It Old Style!
It's a bit early to be starting this thread but it's the last day of 2023 that I will have the time so I'm doing it now! I have decided that 2024 is going to be the opportunity to put into practice all the things that I have thought about, wanted to do and dabbled with in 2023. I have a few diaries on the forum which touch…

Similarly if your house has been neglected it won't be turned around in a day - but if you stay you will get into some good habits…

Best cream tea scones
In using up (woe is me) a tub of clotted cream, I've inadvertently compared two brands of scones - Tesco finest and coop irresistible. While Tesco's are larger and softer, they tend to fall apart when applying the clotted cream (which by the laws of science and decency, should be applied first). Coops are smaller, but…
How often to do washing?
Partly a money saving question but partly a sanity saving question as I feel like I'm always washing clothes. How many washes a week would you do as a single person who wears a uniform for work? I like to wash my bedding once weekly (is that too much?). Then I do two clothing washes but I'm wondering if I could manage one…

'Gone Off' Vegetable Suet!
I've got a vegetable broth in the slow cooker and really want dumplings to go with it. I found some vegetarian Atora light suet in the cupboard... but its best before date is January 2010. The packet inside has been opened but it's still in the box and there isn't any obvious smells... but still... I don't know. Would you…

A shiny new thread for the thrift shoppers amongst us - those who haunt car boots, FB marketplace, Vinted, Ebay, jumble sales & charity shops to score bargains galore!
25 for 2025
It's that time again, as we face the end of one year and embark on a new. So if you're up for a challenge, feel free to join in. You'll know how this goes if you've done any of the previous years, but for newbies the idea is you have a list of 25 goals that you do 25 times during the year or just a list of 25 goals to hit…
