Frugal Living Challenge 2011 - part 2

Today I discovered that it is more frugal to buy a whole salmon (£15 from Mr T) and chop it up into portions to freeze - that will feed us for 8 meals. Much much cheaper than 3 for a tenner!
The fishmonger offered me the head but I didn't think you could make stock out of oily fish, has anyone tried it?

Tumpty if you're online I've just sent to an apology pm......

Anyone else who wants/needs one just pm me or if you'd just like a corporate public one that's fine too...

But first can I go for my jog

apart from pea pod wine, can they be cooked into anything or do they have to be composted?

pea pod soup - not tried it myself, but knew I'd heard of it

or pea pod curry.... I don't like curry so wouldn't ever try this one

Blah, so fed up.

Went for a job interview today, didn't get it. Seriously worried now about finding work, it's just rubbish

paidinchickens - sorry to hear about one of the kittens hope the others are doing well x

I find this offensive. Since you seem to like to know. I'm just someone who's trying to get by with what money they have, so you don't know everything about everyone.

This thread is not about religion, nor has it ever been. Please do not bring things like this to the forum - feel free to believe in whatever, just don't expect everyone else to think the same. It feels like we're going round and round in circles. You don't like the thread? Then don't post on it.

Hi everyone,

Had a fairly frugal day today, packed lunch at work and home made soup for dinner. I did pay 75p for a scone right enough, which isn't very moneysaving of me! And doesn't help with the waistline either!

Like some others, I've just watched Beyonce at Glastonbury on iplayer, and I must say, I'm motivated to get legs like those!!

Keep smiling xx

Methinks I'd have to sell my soul to turn my podgy wee behind into one like Beyonce's
