    Is anyone else watching Dispatches? It is about supermarket prices and green grocers or markets. Interesting how difficult it can be to compare prices.

    I had started to put money away in an oil/ Christmas/holiday fund, so that covers some of it, but having gone through the budget I need to cut back drastically. I paid off £8,000 worth of debt last year and I am NOT going back there.

    Frugal treat - MIL has given me a tub of frozen red fruits from her garden. Raspberries, plums, red currants. I could do a quick crumble or I found a packet of scone mix when I listed my cupboards - sort of a cobbler type dish? Not sure, but I think it would help stop the kids and OH feeling deprived. Any ideas welcome!

    WOW - WELL DONE :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    How about fruit scones? Or fruit muffins? Fruit jellies?
