I always find sprout and onion bahjis are a fun way to use up excess sprouts

Duran, well done on resisting the temptation with the sale. I think it would be a good idea if you put a certain amount of money aside as kind of an emergency fund in case you have to replace underwear or something really important.

I think I'm going to put it all in an envelope marked "emergency pants"! :rotfl:

I have been very good . I have been given a new dressing gown so the old one can go. The only things I have brought in sales are a new pair of slippers( old ones binned) and a new coat -Old one for garden.

I don't need anything else and I am using up the last of the Christmas food. tonight. I will food shop tomorrow.

Hello all.

I am going to make a resolution to post on here more next year!

Thanks to all, especially Slowdown, for the thread. When I haven't posted I have read along and it has been inspiring. It's been a very strange year with lots of changes but the last few months have been excellent and I look forward to it continuing into 2016!

Happy New Year to all,old and new not buying it-ers.

Another newbie to this thread, hoping to learn a trick or two

My daughter also wants to go to uni in September so plenty of work to do on the money saving front

So far Ive only spent a little in the sales , all on NEEDS & not WANTS.

Here's to a thrifty 2016

Evening everyone

Went for a long walk in the afternoon with my sister who is currently looking after our aunts dog. Plus did some small household things like cleaning and tidying some small places like cleaning cabinet, food cabinet and stuff like that. And I had a good look into my wardrobe, two jumpers and a few shirts with holes in them were sent flying while a nice dress will be donated. I know that I will never wear that, so why have it in my wardrobe? The same goes for a lovely dress with flowers which would be perfect for a really fancy summer party, but all the parties I ever went aren't as fancy, besides it never really fit anyway. But out of some strange reason I can't part with it... Call me crazy...

Good question, will we go on in this tread or have a new one for 2016? can't remember if anyone wrote in here how we're going to handle it. It will be good to have the whole tread handy and together, however it might be quite off-putting for newbies to join a tread that is almost 300 pages long...

Jackie, coudln't you freeze them individually and take out when you need them for something?

I just wrote my shopping list for the next few days and am astonished at how few things I need and how little I spent compared to my food spend I normaly have in December. Strange strange, but I'm not complaining about that :-)

Have a nice evening everyone!
