1. Cath's Corner
Hello Cheapskaters,
Well February is here and so our annual No Spending Challenge has started. So far so good for me. I did have to get milk yesterday, but that's it for the last four days. Only 24 days to go! How are you doing? Are you finding it easy to simply not spend?
During 2020, Australians saved more money than ever before. Really saved it - their money stayed in the bank. I'm not sure a permanent lockdown would be good for our savings, but what I took from that is we spend a lot of money when we are out of the house, that isn't essential spending. Kind of makes you think when simply not going out to eat, or going to concerts or the movies or on overseas trips can build savings to record levels.
Have a great week everyone, and remember: essential spending only!
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

MOO Designer Sea Grass Planters
Take a Bunnings $2.50 sea grass door mat, fold into a cone shape and stitch with twine. Line with shade cloth or similar to hold mulch. Fasten to a wall or attach a chain or rope for a hanging planter. Takes less than half an hour to make and looks great.

Brighten Up Your Kids Party
Next time you want to cover an outdoor picnic table for a kids party, here's a bright idea. I recently bought some lovely, colourful and cheap, rolls of wrapping paper at least 3 meters long. I went along to my granddaughter's party in the park, armed with sticky tape and covered an ugly old BBQ table. I used this instead of using a plastic disposable cover. Not only did it look good, it was environmentally friendly, and I disposed of it in the recycling. Easy and cheap decorating. Don't forget the big kids outdoor functions too.

3. Book Club 2021
Welcome to the 2021 Book Club.
Late last year, over on Cheapskate's Chatter (FB) Cheapskaters were chatting about some of their favourite lifestyle books, and it was decided to for a book club. Now we had a book club about 10 years ago and it was so much fun, with lots of great ideas shared. Unfortunately our moderator became ill and book club stopped. So you can imagine how excited I am to have a nice new, 2021 Book Club up and running.
Three books have been selected so far:
Debt Free, Cashed Up and Laughing (by yours truly)
The Tightwad Gazette by Amy Daycyzyn
Down to Earth by Rhonda Hetzel
Book Club is open to all Cheapskates Club members. You'll find the discussion groups in the Member's Forum. Just log in and head to the Member Forum, click on Current Discussions and scroll until you find the Book Club 2021 thread. Not a Cheapskates Club member? No problem, membership for the first year is still just $25 and you can join here.
To get started we are reading, or re-reading, DFCAUL. It's written in three parts, so this week we'll be reading and discussing part 1.
Please thank Delaney for taking on Book Club and organising the forum and FB posts for us, she has amazing enthusiasm and encouragment for living the Cheapskates way.
"I understand that life gets in the way sometimes, and that's ok, the intention is that this be a bit of fun and a chance to share ideas along the way. Who knows, we may even attempt a live, face to face, online chat later in the year!"

Boiled Chocolate Cake
This is one of the moistest cakes around. Not quite as dense as a mud cake, but every bit as delicious, it costs approximately $2 to make. It's so moist and delicious you don't need icing, just dust the top with a little icing sugar to serve.
I've been making it for years, since I was about 13 I think, and it is always a hit and well worth the extra step to boil the mixture.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
2 tbsp cocoa
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
125g butter
1-1/2 cups SR flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
Method:
Pre heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin. Place sugar, water, butter, cocoa and bicarb soda in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the butter melts. Bring to the boil and simmer 5 minutes. When the mixture is cool beat in the eggs and flour. Pour into prepared cake tin and bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool in tin 5 minutes before turning onto a cake rack to cool completely.
Next week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Lamb
Monday: BBQ & salad
Tuesday: Spag Bol
Wednesday: French Shepherd's Pie
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Vegetable Moussaka, green salad
Saturday: Toasted Sandwiches
There are over 1,700 budget and family friendly recipes in the Cheapskates Club Recipe File, all contributed by your fellow Cheapskates, so you know they're good.

6. The $300 A Month Food Challenge
Back to Work and Back to School
The holidays flew by didn't they? Even though for most of us they were different to usual, they went fast. Now just about everyone is back to work and the kids back to school. This is a dangerous time for the grocery budget, with days seeming shorter it's tempting to give in and by snacks and pick up takeaway on the way home.
Take this weekend to get the pantry ready for the year. Yes, the year! You can do it. Perhaps make a list of what you need each week to make the lunches:
Bread or rolls or wraps
Fillings - lettuce, tomato, cheese, peanut butter, Vegemite, beetroot, eggs, hazelnut spread etc.
Snacks - mini muffins, cup cakes, slices, MOO muesli bars, yoghurt, dried fruit, dips etc.
Fruit & veg - apples, oranges, mandarins, grapes, plums, peaches, apricots, mango, strawberries, frozen berries, fresh berries, banana, celery sticks, carrot sticks, capsicum strips, lettuce wedges, olives, gherkins etc.
Or whatever you and your family eat for lunch.
Then get out the hardware you need: lunchboxes, drink bottles, small containers, cutlery (Kmart do a set of reusable plastic cutlery for $2 in the party section if you're worried about sending your kitchen set), sandwich bags and/or wraps, wrap boxes (Aldi sell these and they are THE BEST THING for wraps), ice packs etc. Make sure they are all clean and ready to go. It helps to keep them in the same place so they're easy to find. If you're short on anything, wait a couple of weeks if you can and most of this stuff will be on clearance at the supermarkets and discount department stores - beats paying full price.
When our kids were at school we had a lunch menu for summer that went something like this:
Monday - tuckshop. This was a gift to them from their Grandmothers who shared the cost.
Tuesday - sandwich or roll with leftover roast from Sunday and pickle or relish or mustard
Wednesday - mini pizza (English muffin cut in half, spread with tomato sauce, sprinkled with mixed herbs and grated cheese and grilled). I wrapped them in foil to keep them warm.
Thursday - sausage roll or pastie or cheese & veggie roll or mini quiche
Friday - sandwich or roll with egg and lettuce or curried egg and lettuce
In winter it changed up a little, still tuckshop on a Monday, but the other days might be soup in a thermos, or stew or curry in a food thermos, something warm to fill them before they played outside in the cold
Snacks were simple for my kids, they each took two mini muffins (about the size of a Ferrero Rocher chocolate), then either veggie sticks and dip or fruit salad or sliced fruit and a small tub of yoghurt.
Drink bottles only ever held water. They had two each - one in the freezer and one in their school bag. They were washed and half filled after school every day then put in the freezer. To be ready for the next day.
I didn't buy muesli bars or fruit leathers or little packets of chips or biscuits. I didn't buy little boxes of sultanas, or little tubs of yoghurt. I didn't buy juice boxes. If they wanted anything like that we made it together from the ingredients in the pantry.
Wayne's work lunches were the same, only he took two sandwiches or rolls or wraps or sausage rolls; his snacks were the same as the kids. We did invest in a small fridge for his van (bought on half price at Anaconda about 12 years ago and still going strong) to keep his lunch and drinks cool because he's on the road most of every day, in and out of the van so it gets very hot.
School and work lunches shouldn't impact your grocery budget. You eat lunch at home, you eat lunch at work or school. It's how you pack the lunch that makes the difference.

9. The Weekly MOO Challenge
Snacks
This is an expensive time of year, with everyone heading back to work and school. Holidays are over and the holiday treats are probably all gone.
When it's hot, I tend to snack more than have large meals. Fruit salad, pita chips and tzatziki or hommus, veggie sticks with dip, popcorn are all things I keep on hand to snack on.
MOOing snacks is easier than you think, and cheaper too.
Pita chips are simple and really cheap.
Yoghurt is easy and cheaper than buying it.
Making your own dips can cost half of what buying them does.
Veggie sticks are simple to make at home, and about 98% cheaper than buying them pre-packaged.
Even making fruit salad is quick, easy and cheaper than buying it. Best of all when you make it, you choose what goes into it. Right now I'm loving rock melon, strawberries, green grapes and peaches.
There are some great recipes in the Recipe File for dips, biscuits, muffins, finger foods that are great to snack on.
So the challenge this week is too MOO your snacks. They can be sweet or savoury, whatever you prefer. Let us know how you go - and how much money you don't spend (remember, February is No Spending Month!).
Get in on the fun and discussions here.
10. 2021 Saving Revolution
The Revolution is powering along. Already five lessons and five chalenges over five weeks have been accomplished!

Wow! That's a lot in just five weeks.
Congratulations to everyone who has stuck with the program so far. You're already one month through!
But there's lots more good stuff to come. Ideas and tips and advice to get your finances under control and on track easily and (almost) painlessly.
