Beat The Grubby Hand Towel Blues
Do you find your hand towels change colour with the quick wash wipe of the comer and goers, then need a long soak to come back to some level of their normal colour? Relax, help is on the way. All you need to do is have a folded damp face cloth on the edge of the basin for an initial wipe. This gets off any dirt and soap residue first and then dry as usual. The face cloth being damp gives up the collected dirt and suds easily and leaves the clean hand towel to just dry up any moisture left behind. A quick now and again rinse of the face cloth and all is good. It works well in our house with gardeners and handy people who get really dirty. The best is no more need to soak. One less job. Give it a try.

Gaining Sturdier Seedlings
When planting out seedlings such as beetroot and lettuce break the top portion of the leaves from the top of the plant. This enables the roots to adjust to the soil and has less effort for feeding the leaves which have been taken off.

3. This Week's Winning Tip
This week's winning tip is from Valeria Coscini. Valeria has won a one year Platinum Cheapskates Club membership for submitting her winning tip.
With everyone trying to cut the amount of sugar in their jams (my recommendation: don't! the sugar is in that quantity for a reason), instead of increasing sugar for tart fruit, try this. Just follow Valeria's advice and go easy on the bicarb soda.
Making Jam with Tart Fruit
Fix acidic or under ripe fruit by adding a tiny bit of bicarb soda to the cooked fruit. Do it before adding the sugar to neutralise the acid. Go light on the bicarb soda: 1/2-1 teaspoon to 1- 1.5kg of fruit should be plenty. Add a bit at a time because too much has an aftertaste. I recently did this to home-grown blackberries that were really tart even though they were ripe. Added the usual amount of sugar and it worked out fine. Save $ and don't toss that tart fruit out!
Congratulations Valeria, I hope you enjoy your Cheapskates Club membership.

Three Easy Rice Dishes
Rice is the most important staple food for a large part of the world's population. As a grocery item, it's one of the cheapest and most versatile things in the supermarket. As a menu item, it will zoom to the top of your family's favourite foods when you serve these quick and easy rice dishes. Rice is the base for thousands of sweet and savoury dishes and is so versatile it can be steamed, fried, baked, shaped into rissoles, even used as a pie crust.
Rice features heavily in my menu and so I buy it in 10kg bags (long grain) and 5kg bags (Arborio and Jasmine), saving up to 50%. I store my rice in Tupperware containers in the freezer. This kills off any weevils/pantry moths that may be in it when I buy it. When I move it from the freezer to the pantry I add a couple of bay leaves to the canister, as a weevil/moth deterrent.
Mushroom Rice
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 pkt French onion soup mix
300ml water
300ml good beef stock (homemade or use a tin of beef broth)
125g finely sliced mushrooms*
1/4 cup butter
Method:
Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Combine rice, onion soup, water, beef stock, mushrooms and butter in a well greased 20cm square casserole dish. Cover, and bake for one hour. Serves four as a main, six as a side dish.
*I use a half pint jar of home canned mushrooms, you can use a small tin of sliced champignons if you don't have fresh mushrooms.
Edith's Spanish Rice
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1-1/2 cups uncooked white rice
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup chunky salsa
1/2 cup grated cheese
Method:
Heat oil in a large, heavy fry pan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix rice into fry pan, stirring often. When rice begins to brown, stir in chicken stock and salsa. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed. Sprinkle with grated cheese, turn heat off and let dish sit five minutes before serving.
Mexican Chicken Rice Bake
Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups uncooked white rice
2-2/3 cups water
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, diced into 2cm chunks
2 cups grated low fat tasty cheese
2 cups grated low fat cheddar cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 medium onion, finely diced
375g jar mild salsa
Method:
Place rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for twenty minutes. Meanwhile, place chicken breast into a separate saucepan, and fill the pan with water. Bring to a boil, and then turn heat to low and cook covered for ten minutes, or until done. Remove chicken from water.
Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Lightly grease an oven-proof lasagne dish. In a medium bowl, combine tasty and cheddar cheeses. In a separate bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, onion, and salsa. Layer half of the rice, half of the chicken, half of the soup and salsa mixture, and half of the cheese mixture in the prepared dish. Repeat layers, ending with cheese. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until bubbly.
Note: This dish uses two cans of soup. Both can be replaced with Cream of Anything Soup Mix from our Recipe File, reducing the cost and the sodium in this recipe. Cath

Inventories & Stockpiling Treats
Hello Cheapskaters,
I did a complete pantry inventory at the end of November in preparation for my yearly shopping trip, and I did another one after the shopping was put away last week. Having an accurate inventory is important. It stops waste (food and money) and keeps the budget on track.
This year I must stick to the grocery budget - I can't go over even $1. We have a very tight budget for 2022, so every cent spent has to be already allocated, there is no room in our budget this year for any surprises.
I have done my preserving/canning list for the year. The garden was going well, there has been a disaster, but I'm hoping to save some of the crops and replant, so most of the cost will be my time and the gas to heat the canners or the electricity to run the dehydrators.
Over the next six weeks we have nine birthdays, Australia Day, our wedding anniversary and of course Valentine's Day. Oh, and the summer holidays - we spend most weekends over the summer camping, and that means different foods and treats, and that means different foods and treats, so normally I'd be watching for half-price sales on things like chips, cheeses, savoury crackers, marshmallows etc.
There is a box in our wardrobe where they get put, just so they don't accidentally get eaten (those fridge fairies can sniff out even a well-hidden treat).
I'll be keeping an eye on the sales, and stocking treats if they fit in the grocery budget, to fill the box.
After Christmas and New Year the back-to-school sales start - a great time to think ahead to the celebrations you have coming up (birthdays, anniversaries, Easter, Mother's Day and camping weekends are ours) and stock up while they are on sale.
Have you done a pantry inventory for the new year? Do you stockpile treats to save money, time and energy?

7. The Weekly MOO Challenge
MOO Pickled Cucumbers
MOO pickled cucumbers are so much better than anything you can buy and a gazillion times better than those soggy things you get on fast food burgers.
Now the summer garden is producing cucumbers, and we have enough to eat fresh, I've been pickling them. This method is quick and easy, and best of all the cucumbers don't go soggy, they stay nice and crisp. If you have an abundance of cucumbers, try these pickles.
Pickled Cucumber
Ingredients:
4 small, unpeeled cucumbers
500ml apple cider vinegar
2 green capsicums
250g white sugar
Method:
Slice the cucumbers into thin circles. Cut the capsicums in half, remove seeds and slice into strips. Dissolve sugar in warmed vinegar. Pack vegetables into clean, warm, sterilised jars. Fill jars to overflowing with vinegar mixture. Cover tightly with lid.
Store them in the fridge and they'll keep for months. Enjoy them on burgers, with cheeses, in salads (add some diced to potato salad - yum), add them to savoury platters.
