Halloweenqueen mentioned this site in her post on the homemade lasagne thread and I just went on it and wanted to recommend it to all of you who may not have seen her recommendation. It is a great site and I have just spent two hours looking round it and am filled with loads of new ideas for thrifty meals and ideas!! Do have a look - it is www.hillbillyhousewife.com

I heard about that site before I really got into the forum here. I think I must have read every one of her pages. Some of the pulse recipes are really good and tasty, even my son eats them and he hates pulses. It is a great site, lots of good nutritious recipes, and because it is American, when she says it will feed 6, it really does!

I loved her idea for a $45 emergency menu, I don't know how much all that would cost in GBP, maybe someone else could supply us with those details.

I spotted that one too, and earmarked it immediately for my favourites Didn't know whether to stick it in the Finance or the Family Organisation folder though.

I like this site too for the recipes,but I do find the religion in the blog and some of the links a bit OTT - very fundamentalist.

Another good one ishttp://www.livingonadime.com/index.html

Thanks for that site ThriftLady. I've put it in my browse later folder . I've got so many frugal sites now. I think I've started some weird addiction.

Thanks so much for the link! I especially like the make your own cup a soup recipes, but does anyone know what I could substitute for saltine crackers?

Ritz crackers?

Thank you! I've just looked on the Wikipedia site and it says that saltines are made with less shortening than Ritz' so they're just a bit dryer and crisper. Not entirely sure I'd want them in the soup now I know what they are!
