From Cath's Desk - Wednesday 1st April 2015

Hello Cheapskaters,

And welcome to the April edition of your Cheapskates Journal.

March was a very busy month for me, as I'm sure you'll have realised if you've been waiting to hear from me.

In just one 24 hour period there were over 1,000 Contact Us requests come through the Cheapskates website! I was so astounded I ran a check because I thought we had been spammed, but no, each and every one was as a result of the amazing story that screened on A Current Affair on the 23rd and they are still coming in!

And last Sunday was our first workshop for 2015, with an overflowing house - 32 wonderful Cheapskaters, all with smiling faces learned that MOOing really does save you money, time and energy and it isn't hard! We are slowly, grocery item by grocery item, slashing our grocery bills, becoming more self-sufficient and thoroughly enjoying every single thing we MOO.

MOO month is now over, but don't stop MOOing! Even if you try just one new thing a week or a month, you'll reap the benefits, including saving money and lighter shopping bags.

April is of course the ideal month to get organized and de-clutter. I've started in my kitchen. I opened a cupboard this morning and had to move a pizza cutter thingy and a pizza sized spatula. I've been moving those things for four years, we never use them and so they are now in the boot of the car to be dropped off at the op-shop when I go to pick Hannah up from work! I apologise for the length of that sentence too!

I'll be posting an organizing or de-cluttering tip as Tip of the Day every day this month. They'll be sent to you all via ToTD of course and then archived on my blog and in the Tip Store so you can find them later. Would you like them in an ebook, like the 31 Days of MOO, at the end of the month? Let me know.

If this is your first Cheapskates Journal I really hope you enjoy it and find it useful. I'm so glad to welcome all our new members, and can't wait to meet you all in the forum. Please drop in and say hello.

The new website is slowly, slowly coming along. I can't wait to start testing. I've already started to move some things over and I'm loving what I'm seeing so far. I'm sure you will too.

Have a happy and blessed Easter everyone and a fabulous April.
