Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?
Just thought this would be quicker reference than what's for dinner or searching through lots of posts? There used to be one a while back, Meal Plan Monday or obviously whatever day you start yours on 🙂 I did post mine in the Grocery challenge, but will post again for anybody that doesn't join in with that thread. Vegan…

Calling All Canners!
Hi I did a search but couldn't find any threads specifically dedicated to canning. If you're unsure what canning is, it is a type of food preservation that uses hot water bath or a pressure cooker/canner to preserve foods so they are shelf stable in jars, avoiding the use of freezers that may fail in a power failure, but…
Weekly Flylady Thread 17 November 2025
Welcome to the weekly Flylady Thread. What is FLYLADY? Well, it's our version of the US flylady idea - but we work on the principle that housework is not fun, it's boring, can be time-consuming, is often thankless but, unfortunately, necessary.

If you're lucky, your local library will be warm and have some cosy armchairs. Some libraries will allow laptops so that students can work on projects and…

What are you making for dinner?
There were problems with the original thread in that it disappeared and could not be reinstated. So a new thread was created and we all started again, unfortunately that thread also seems to have joined it's predecessor. So here's a new one. We need to hear about Suki's lamb casserole and Island Maid is back from Amsterdam…

Ever benefitted from a 'coupon fairy' who leaves coupons tucked by products in supermarkets?
I've been reading about one of our Forumites who's in the habit of tucking coupons next to the relevant product on supermarket shelves, ready for someone to find and use. It's an ace idea and I wondered: does anybody else does this? Or have you ever benefitted from it yourself? Ever spied a coupon left besides the…
