My allotment- cost me 10 pounds a year & i drafted MIL, DH, DD all to do some work-Ive got potatoes, carrots, onions, pumpkins, sprouts, brocoli, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries & jalapenos too! just pulled my first lot of tatties this week & looking forward to eating them tomorow! Well worth a tenner, as the plants were presents for our wedding anniversary too i didnt spend a penny getting them!

The comupter I got for free from someone who was upgrading, which enabled me to find and use this site. This site for saving me hundreds visiting my DS and his GF and my GD abroad. And quidco for ins etc. Grabbit board , not so good. Makes me spend money.
My bike, off freecycle for getting me fit.
But I didn't spend money on any of that. So secondhand breadmaker £10.

Slow cooker question. My cooking is OK but not very advanced in the slow cooking dept other than to use the oven.

QUESTION: Can you buy slow cooking recipe books?

The best buys I ever made were the second house I bought and my third where we made lots of equity :j (to fund our debts!) We still have equity and even this house in the current climate is worth slightly more than when we bought it.
Other best buys - fruit trees and bushes...:T Enjoying raspberries, cherries and apples this year. Slugs got blackcurrant and red currants though!

I love my TEFAL 3in1 rice and slow cooker and use it all the time. Virtually anything that can be made can be put in it ... saves buying quick convienance frozen dinners at the end of the day when you have no time or cant be bothered.

ALSO I love SAVING DINNER by LEANNE ELY, you can get it on Amazon and it is filled with recipes for the slow cooker. Also it gives you a weekly shopping plan so you dont even need to think. Some of the words are American but us here are clever people and figure that out.

Excellent, i have a birthday coming up so will ask for the book (saving even more money:rotfl: )

I know this isn't really on topic, but I'm *entirely* confused by this....what is a rice cooker? how does it work? is it really easier than just a pan of water?

My best investment is probably my running shoes I bought last month - cost £25, so am already £10 up having given up the gym at £35/month..,

Rice Cooker is fabulous, gives you all the measurments on the side, plugs into the mains, so quick and easy, no watching the pan for water over flowing, so easy to clean and once rice is cooked it will keep it warm for quite some time if needed
