what do I need to be proper OS?

cobbingstones

Hi all,

Going to be running on empty after December when my maternity money ends :eek:

I just wanted to tap into your fantastic knowledge about OS and to discover if there is anything that I could purchase before skint day?

I already have slow cooker, breadmaker and star drops

Anything else??

Thanks and merry chrimbo to you all :A

make sure your food store cupboard/fridge/freezer are stocked with the basics

A nice bottle of wine and a pair of fluffy slippers.

Then put yer feet up.

You can actually manage to be OS without a slow cooker or a bread maker

Some freezer boxes for all that batch cooking (extra portions) .. that's if you have freezer to keep them in that is

baby oil for your stainless steel.

and a notepad to write your meal planner down and inventory of fridge/freezers and cupboards.

A belief that there is a simpler way of living and it doesn't involve buying lots of stuff.

And this board!

Instead of notepad I use the envelopes that have come in the post for all meal planning and shopping lists.

Spend as little as possible, thus putting off skint day as long as you can

And write down the contents of all your food, cleaning and bathroom cupboards - I've just done this and have discovered I have the contents of a small grocer's shop to use up. And don't get me started on the beauty salon stock cupboard in my bedroom ...........

January is "use it up" month for me (and February might be too ) )
