Sneaky ways to save the pennies

skaps

I went for a pub lunch today and took extra satchets of mustard home with me.

I always cook my pasta in vegetable stock, once cooked I take out my pasta and grate veggies into it (also potato peelings I've saved from previous night). It doesn't take long to cook, maybe 15 minutes and you have delicious soup. I vary it according to what veg I have and add different herbs and things. If I don't have a lot of veg I'll add a hanful of rice and a dollop of tomato ketchup and stir, it makes the soup taste amazing.

That sound such a good idea! I always cook rice in 'veg stock' water, then stick it in the freezer for next time that I need stock, never thought of doing it with pasta though:o Will certainly give it a try thanks:T
Never thought of the potato peelings thing either...

I've done the nail holes before.
Provided they're small and you paint over it you can't tell the difference between that and polyfilla.

A moment of inspiration came to me the other day while in the shower. I live with 2 guys and sometimes one of their girlfriends stays too. Anyway I love to use Dove shampoo and it is one of my treats. This shampoo never lasts long as people just help themselves to it! Grrr...

So I decided to be cheeky the other day and decanted the shampoo into a conditioner bottle. None of them ever go never conditioner! Shampoo is now just for ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
