    I would LOVE to hear what the most out of date product is. Whatever people can find - so far RBR you are the winner! Keep them coming!

    Don't think I can beat that. The oldest BBD is cloves : 2006, but I'm still using them. they're fine. I also got a jar of cinnamon that moved with me from Germany in 2003 and is still in use.

    Hi NSK,

    I love the new challenge. This will be my third month and although I haven't fully succeeded in either of the first two I know I have improved so it has been a SUCCESS :j

    Please count me in for Feb and thanks to everyone for all the info and support.

    I will add one extra item to my challenge which is to post a progress report daily even if it is just a quick one liner. I have read every single post since the October challenge but since joining in December I haven't posted as regularly as I should. I think it may keep me more on track.

    See you all on Saturday.

  • Count me in! I thought I was being all budget-y and frugal through January and have instead had the most expensive month in a long time, my spending needs to be reined in as I need to have a buffer to survive my no-income summer.

    Scheduled my 13 'spendy days' in the diary so I know not to take the purse out the house those days, and have 4 social outings all budgeted for.
