Reverse Meal Planning
Not sure if many of you will have tried the reverse-meal plan idea. Rather than buying all the ingredients you need to support your meal-plan, you look at your fridge, freezer and store-cupboard and meal plan from that, minimising what you shop for. Based initially on the fresh produce that would be wasted if it is not…

Prepping: the new world...
Thought it was about time for a new Prepping thread... Please keep it on topic, friendly and realistic for life in the UK (i.e. no hurricane basements, no guns, no politics).

The all new using what you have from your Freezer, Cupboard or Shed (Barn)
It is probably time to have a new thread for this. What do you have in your freezer? In your cupboard/shed? Do you have a veg patch or allotment? What did you manage to store, preserve or freeze? I, myself, like to cook following a recipe, but love to add veg from my allotment!

Make Do, Mend & Minimise
With the cost of living showing little sign of easing soon, I thought I'd start a new thread for this. I'm sure many of us are trying to be as environmentally friendly as we can be as well as stretching our budgets as far as we can. I'm putting together a To Do list towards this end and will publish any achievements as and…
