2022 frugal challenge

Hello,
have been reading a lot of pages on this challenge and would love to contribute.
We are a family of 5 but eldest is gone to uni so 4 mouths to fill every night. 
All good eaters and not picky. 
We eat 6 proper meals a week and one is an easy one. Either fried eggs with potato wedges or pizza.
We grow vegetables in the summer and have enough soft p fruit growing in order to snack on and make jams for all year around. 
We try to be frugal and have been paying extra on our mortgage since we took it out. It was a struggle but looking back so thankful that we did it. We are coming to an end of it this year!! 
Really hope to share a few frugal ideas we have followed thru over the years as a well as reading some more of your ideas!
