What no longer goes on YOUR shopping list?

Don't buy any more ready made food - unless its for a night out night in - if you get my drift!

Bread (breadmaker is fab)
Yogurt (easyo)
Cakes, biscuits and snacks - only make me put on weight so I make my own with the boys.
Only buy crisps when we're entertaining!!!

Buy cheaper versions of day to day things so that I can use my OS money saving to spend on the one off luxuries. Eg my friends engagement party is at the end of the month - so I'm blowing the last two months luxury money on a HUGE bottle of bubbly!!

Ready meals - cheaper and better to do your own shepherds pies and bologneses from scratch, plus you know what's in them.

Specialist kitchen and bathroom cleaners - white vinegar and a bit of soapy water does the trick.

Fabric conditioners - unnecessary.

Washing powder - bought a huge container of it from Costco a couple of years ago and still have loads left. Also use washballs for some washes.

Probably loads more but because I don't buy them, we don't think of them. If you get what I mean.

Cheers yummymommy - I'm very excited! Not sure I'll be able to wait while it matures!!!

I'll let you know how it tastes in a few months (if it hasn't sent me blind)

how do the wash balls work and are they working also how many do you suggest buying i fancy giving it a go - i see on ebay they are selling 3 do you only need 1 for each wash or do you have to use all three if only 1 what is the point in buying three ?
Thanks
