    Today I have.... spent £50 on a food processor. At first glance I know that it does not seem money saving but bear with me -

    it was half price from Comet:money:
    i have been wanting one for two years since my last one broke
    i have already used it to chop up odd bits of veg to bung in a huge vat of tomato sauce that is simmering on the cooker even as I type - it will then be bagged up for the freezer for instant pasta sauce
    this evening I will be using it to make butter from the stash of reduced cream I got from ASDA
    tomorrow morning I will use the juicer attatchment to use up the mound of oranges sat in the fruit bowl

    I could go on.... I love my new toy!

    I have also done daily clicks and made a loaf of bread in the BM

    hi DebbieMids72, welcome on board the thread. There is no such thing as a stupid question and we were all newbies once:D
    If you get stuck with any more of the abbreviations there is a "sticky" post at the top of the DFW forum which will give you all the answers.:D

    Hi bellsbells,
    Nobody worse than me for buying kitchen gadgets:o as long as you are going to make use of it I feel they earn their keep:D and you got it for a good price:T . My latest addition was a dehydrator, which I think is great:D
