It is a story about a guy that made soup out of stones - I am going to see if I find the original version and post it here (with DUE REFERENCES of course )

Link to Stone Soup story - there are a few annoying comments at the beginning but don't let them distract you, it is a great folk story, told in many different ways!

Enjoy!

PS. In case there is any doubt: this IS a money-saving topic, as you will save money by reading this story, learning and then telling it to your children and/or friend during a lovely home-based evening, while eating the £1.25 pizza, instead of going to the cinema and the restaurant for your entertainment and food and spend half your salary there!

I knew the story - has been on one of the kids channels. My little boyasked me to make stone soup. ::)
No good asking me for challenge - but should imagine soup would fit into budget with crusty bread?

Going on in the theme of soups and moneysaving:

When my kids were little, one morning they spotted me putting old kitchen rags and sponges in a pan of boiling water and vinegar (gosh, I just HAD to say this hehehehehehehehehe!!!) to boil on the stove for a few minutes, to sterilise and deodorise (rather than throw away and use new ones).

They asked what I was doing and I told them I was making 'sponge soup' for dinner - you should have seen their horrified little faces!

Then I explained what I was doing and they were much relieved, but I have since heard them many times tell their friends about the sponge soup that mum makes!

Loved the Stone Soup story!

When I was a kid and asked Mum what was for tea, she would always reply: "Bread and Pullit" I had no idea what Pullit was ???

She was actually saying: "Bread and Pull IT!"

My friend's Mum would say: "Air Pie"
