I've been using a lot of onion powder recently and the cost is creeping up - discovered today that if you wash all your onion skins/peelings then dehydrate until crisp/dry they can be chucked in a processor/blender to make onion powder! 🙌 I normally compost them but now I know this I will be popping them in the freezer until I'm using the dehydrator for bloomed wild rice or I have so many it's worth making a full batch 😁

Sowed a couple of packet of chard at the beginning of the season. Still picking leaves for salad plus the bigger leaves to cook like spinach. 

Saved loads of pennies.

Part of my Christmas present from my BIL is all the seed packets that I need for the following year. Much better than something that will clutter the house and save us lots of pennies / pounds.

Ferry wanted to charge £3.50 for a hot chocolate so I ordered a cup of hot water, which cost a £1 and mixed in a 35p hot chocolate sachet. A saving of £2.15 😀
One the return journey, we order two cups of water, git charged a £1, DH then made his tea with a tea bag and milk from the hotel. A saving of ££2.15 plus £2.00 totalling: £4.15 😀

My friend likes to buy crossword / word search and Sudoku books. My mother buys liners for for her vegetable caddy. 

In our house, we used to get my BIL weekend papers ( he kept the weekday ones). Firstly, I cut out the puzzle pages. Then we use the remainder in the vegetable caddy. We roll the paper in the shape of a cone. Since he has stopped buying paper, we are still going through the back log but at the same time DH picks up a free paper when he travels on the train. 

Lots of pennies saved in two different ways.

Our raspberry canes are chucking out just under a pound of fruit a day at the moment, we're eating lots, giving some away and freezing some too. Saving loads of money on the daily fruit we'd normally eat with the breakfast Greek yogurt.

Not really very sneaky but saved me a good few of quid. I needed a new outside stiff garden broom as my old one had finally given up the ghost after almost 30 years of service .I have a fairly large patio plus a long path down the right side of my garden and they both tend to get a bit muddy and  leaves etc get blown across them

As I use a stick to walk with I like to keep things as clear as possible. I had been hoping to perhaps pick one up at Wilkos but our local one is virtually empty of stuff now  so I surfed the websites for local places One place wanted £18.00 for a garden broom !! bit too steep for me Finally discovered that my local Dobbies garden centre had some at a sale price of 6.99 so when I went there for coffee yesterday I snaffled one straight away No way was I going to pay £18.00 for a garden broom. so its well worth searching the web for local places.I prefer to shop as local as I can to keep businesses going.

 This morning it will be used to clear the patio and pathways. wet leaves on the paths can lead to falls so I'm really making sure for my own safety as well that they are kept clear.

My DGS Jack is home this weekend so will be round on Saturday to see how the second crop of spuds are doing the first crop were delicious and the autumn ones are just coming through with some greenery fingers crossed for some nice ones for the winter.

Just going to check out best price for tomato ketchup as I always do him some bacon rolls when he visits and he does love his ketchup. I don't eat it at all but I get some in just for him as he's a good lad and very helpful if I need anything shifted around indoors
