It's where all the yellow stickered reduced in price food goes.

Glad you're enjoying the tips here Creamcheese
Thriftlady, not having slow cooker or breadmaker makes you even MORE OS as it means you do things even more from scratch, don't despair!
I had both and gave them both away, breadmaker to a friend and slow cooker to freecycle, when I realised that they were sitting there unused!
OS is a state of mind and from what I see of your posts you really have earned your stripes!!! :money:

(thinks I may have one that I use for threading elastic/cord through things in my sewing box!)

I have a breadmaker which I never use as I prefer to use a full bag of flour at a time and make 3 loaves together (or like tomorrow 2 loaves and some pizza bases for the freezer for tea on Wednesday). I have a slow cooker but I inherited it from my dear Mum when she passed away in 1998 - you don't get more O/S than that.
I don't have a food processor but have thought about getting one - I just keep thinking that I have graters, knives and spoons so I never get round to it:rolleyes:
We are all as O/S as we want to be which is the way it should be - we are not here to keep up with the Joneses after all:T0
