Home Bargains
Well called in today and got a few bits and bobs. A bottle of sesame oil and teriaki marinade, couple of large jars of olive, lg box of butterkiss popcorn, 2 packs of tofu (19p!) and a 10 pack of coffee cup filters for £1.49 (15p per cup!) all came to £5.14. Quite a bargain I think.
There were lots of low priced items but not that many things I would usually buy so took a punt on the oil and marinade plus they were at a knock down price!
Toiletries seemed quite well priced too for high street brands.
Overall not too bad at all.
Can anyone recommend a decent frugal washing up liquid, I usually use Fairy Original largest size from Mr T (you crazy fool!). Is there anything else as good and more frugal. I like long lasting bubbles.final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Evening all.
Well OH was trying to tempt me with a takeaway Indian tonight but we resisted and decided to make one ourselves. So I made the infamous oven baked onion bhajis, chapatis, and as I promised earlier today I made a mango chutney using the tin of mangoes I relieved from my mother's cupboard. Yummy!! I'm dead chuffed, the chutney turned out REALLy well, it's soooooo sticky.
Photographic evidence of my efforts:
Now I'm having some mincemeat shortbread for afters since the raspberry ripple ice cream I made hasn't frozen yettoday's been a much better day than yesterday, and OH has promised to give me a leg & foot rub too.
Hope everyone's had a great day xx

I could, but have been Uber restrained lately:D I was wondering if AM was allergic to feather's though;) Wouldn't want him getting all tied up and taking away all the fun of Raspberry ripple, hot indians do have a tendency to burn things.:D
Lovely Indian by the way, i made one with quorn chicken pieces tonight, very nutritious and low fat.:D No Naan bread though, so i am looking up a recipe for them.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
