1. Cath's Corner
Hello Cheapskaters,Wherever you are, we hope you are safe and well. We have many members affected by the fires in New South Wales, East Gippsland, Western Victoria and South Australia. Just know, when you finally get to read this newsletter, that we're thinking of you, your families and your communities.
There's a free tip sheet for you to download this week, as well as some great tips, a really delicious recipe and a whole lot more. So, before it gets too hot, I'm going to finish off by saying have a great week, and get this newsletter finished and uploaded, ready to go out in just a couple of hours.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Emergency Box on Wheels
I use a medium to large size suitcase with wheels to pack emergency supplies. That way it will be easy for me to get it to the car in an emergency, as I couldn't lift a heavy box. The things inside are covered, kept in by the zipper around the top, and can be locked if necessary. I also keep a printed checklist in the suitcase of extra things that will need to be packed or done at the time of the emergency.

Emergency Safety Box
Like many Cheapskaters, I live in a rural area and the threat of fire this year has been quite significant. I have taken on board the notion of having an emergency fire box filled with things suggested by fire personnel such as spare batteries, portable radio, first aid kit, precious documents etc. However I have a couple of tips to add:
1. Copy all precious photos onto disk or USB - do this well in advance and keep one or two of these in the box. Upload the details for all key documentation such as insurance papers, personal identification such as drivers licenses, birth and marriage certificates, qualifications, to a secure cloud account so it can be accessed anywhere from any device etc.
2. Also important is current medical advice - such as medical conditions, medic alert bracelets etc. You may not lose these in a fire, but even losing a wallet may make you feel relieved that you took copies of personal cards and drivers licenses etc.
3. ALSO, whilst it is an added cost in setting up an emergency box, I suggest toothbrushes, toothpaste and some clean spare underwear for each member of the family.
4. For the pets, a couple of spare cans of food and WATER BOTTLES. (keep a couple of these frozen and ready to go in your freezer if you have room).
5. A small amount of cash is also likely to be very useful.
If you need to leave in a hurry, flustering about to "grab" things is far from ones mind. So do this well in advance, and put it right near your door. On busy high alert times, I actually carry mine in my car so all I have to worry about is people, pets and RUN!! All of this will fit in a small cardboard box or if funds allow, a plastic one with clip on lid, or a cheap or re-purposed small suitcase.

Editors Note: Having an emergency kit handy is a good idea for everyone. Your emergency doesn't have to be a bush fire, it can be as simple as a sick child in the middle of the night. Get together a bag with essential information, some coins, a puzzle book (waiting can be boring) and something to eat and drink and keep it somewhere easily accessible. Then when you need to rush out the door in a hurry you don't need to scrabble around gathering things up - just grab the bag and go. Cath
Keep an Emergency Travel Kit in the Car
We travel by car a lot to school, day care, football, to visit grandparents and cousins and every now and then something goes pear shaped. To help calm upset children (and parents) when things go wrong I keep a small emergency travel kit in the car. It's just a large ziplock bag. In it I have some large freezer bags (they're great for "sick" bags - they can be tied up and disposed of easily), a small packet of wet wipes and a small bottle of antibacterial waterless hand wash for clean-ups, some paper serviettes (to wipe fingers or hold snacks) and a sleeve of paracetamol tablets. These few items have saved us from disaster so many times I can't imagine not having them in the car. I check the bag before every long trip (for us more than 2 hours in the car with our children) and refill it if necessary.

3. This Week's Winning Tip
This week's winning tip is from Matty Holder. Matty has won a one year Platinum Cheapskates Club membership for submitting her winning tip.
Sharing Food and Fellowship
Our neighbourhood is quite diverse and we all have children near the same age. Getting the children together to play AND encouraging them to eat a variety of food lead to the mothers establishing a rotating dinner party. We take turns hosting one meal a week, and each mother is expected to bring a side dish native to their country. We meet in the afternoon to learn how to make the hostess’ entree while the children play. After dinner we package the leftovers so we all have another meal for later in the week. So, for the cost of one dish, we each have two meals for our family. All the mothers in our neighbourhood participate, so each woman only hosts once a year!
Congratulations Matty, I hope you enjoy your Cheapskates Club membership.

Roast Vegetable Lasagne
This lasagne is divine. I make it when the summer veggie garden is in full production and tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini and capsicum are in abundance. And I try to use ricotta I have bought on half-price on clearance or made myself from reduced milk; if I don't have ricotta I use MOO cottage cheese. It's quick and easy to make, and cheaper than ricotta.
Roast Vegetable Lasagne
8Ingredients:
8 vine-ripened tomatoes, thickly sliced
3 small or 1 large orange sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced
2 eggplants, thickly sliced
3 red capsicum, cut into 8 pieces
5 zucchini, thickly sliced lengthwise
A handful of mushrooms, sliced
sea salt for sprinkling 3
1 pkt fresh lasagne sheets (or the equivalent of dried or MOOed if that's what you use)
Ricotta Filling
1 kg fresh ricotta
¼ cup chopped basil leaves
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 eggs
¾ cup cream
cracked black pepper
1 cup grated mozzarella
Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius. Place the tomatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplants, capsicums, zucchini and mushrooms on baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 40 minutes or until tender and golden. To make the ricotta filing , combine the ricotta, basil, parsley, eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Grease a 32cm x 22 cm or similar ovenproof baking dish. Line with some of the lasagne sheets. Place half of the vegetables on top, then another lasagne sheet. Spoon over half of the ricotta mixture, then place another layer of lasagne sheets on top. Continue layering, finishing with the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and bake for 45 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Note: You can use dry lasagne sheets that have been cooked in boiling water until soft.
Next week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Beef
Monday: Marinated drumsticks, salad
Tuesday: Roast Vegetable Lasagne
Wednesday: Tuna Surprise, green salad
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Tomato & onion quiche, salad
Saturday: Muffin Surprise
In the fruit bowl: bananas, strawberries, mandarins, oranges

Simple Substitutes
Last week I asked what you'd like to learn about this year, and FinaciallyFitMom asked about substitutes.
I don't have strange ingredients in the back of the pantry. Or rather I don't have ingredients I don't use at the back of the pantry (some of the things I use may be a little strange to some folk). That's just wasted money, sitting there doing nothing, until it gets thrown out.
I tend to buy the same basic groceries over and over and over and just rearrange them into different recipes. It means my grocery bill rarely varies from month to month, year to year, and is predictable, unless of course there is a price rise (drat those price rises).
Wendy talked about using coconut milk in a recipe and finding it overpowering, so she gave it another go and that recipe failed the Family Approval Test too. In the end she donated the remaining can of coconut milk to a food drive.
I use coconut cream in curry and satay and to make custard. My family likes coconut so it is a pantry staple in our home. Wendy's family isn't so keen on it and so it is an extra ingredient. Those strange ingredients in a recipe will depend on your taste, your budget and your daring as a cook.
In the interests of keeping a happy family we try to have one new recipe a month. It may be a main meal or a side dish, it might be a cake or slice, sometimes it is a new jam, sauce or pickle. Everyone takes turns choosing the recipe from the dozens of recipe books on the shelf.
Sometimes a new recipe is a hit and goes onto the regular recipe rotation; sometimes it is a dud and we all vow to never, ever try it again (like the infamous SALMON DISH - and yes the kids talk about it in capitals, they shudder at the very mention of it).
If a new recipe uses an ingredient that's not in the pantry I try to find a substitute I already have. If I don't have a substitute and I really want to try the recipe I buy the smallest size I can to try it.
Then if we like it and it's an ingredient I can use in other things I'll look for the cheapest way to buy it, or do a more thorough search for a substitute that I may already have.
Often, substitutes are easily made with the ingredients on hand. This is especially the case with those packet seasoning mixes - taco seasoning, roast vegetable seasoning, even lasagne seasoning (seriously who'd buy a packed of "lasagne seasoning"?).
Look at the ingredients list on the back of the packet, take a photo with your phone, then go through your pantry to see what you already have to make it, and keep that $2 (or more) in your grocery budget.
I've made it easy for you to get started with simple substitutes, and put together a Tip Sheet for you.
Print and tape my Simple Substitutes Tip Sheet inside a kitchen cupboard door for handy reference..
