1. Cath's Corner
Hello Cheapskaters,
Are you enjoying No Spending month? I hope so; it's not meant to be a miserable experience, but rather to empower you and give you the confidence to control your spending habits. We're more than half-way through the month, not long to go before you'll be able to tally up just how much you haven't spent this month!
Spending is a habit, and you can make no spending a habit too. It takes 21 repeats to make something a habit, so by the end of February you'll have had 29 days of not spending and the No Spending habit should be well and truly ingrained, and you'll be able to continue on, keeping more of your money right where it should be in your bank account. That's something nice to think about when you feel deprived because you didn't buy that coffee or magazine or pair of shoes or whatever.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Use Less Save More
With any products you use, consider how you can use less to save more. For instance I dilute handwash to about a tenth of it's full strength, just enough to lather up and do the job (otherwise most of your handwashing is washing off the handwash, wasting precious water in the process.) With toothpaste, you only really need the tiniest dot on your toothbrush, to clean your teeth and don't forget to cut open the tube, to get to the last of the toothpaste. I break my dishwasher tablets in half and my dishes come out just as clean (better in fact as they used to have a soapy residue). Experiment with your preferred personal care and cleaning products, to find the sweet spot between, using less to save money and effective use.

Editor's note: I've done this for years - so many I can't remember. I have always diluted dishwashing liquid 50:50 with water; diluted shampoo and conditioner 50:50 with water and put them in pump bottles. Dishwasher powder is measured - 2 level teaspoons for a light load, 3 level teaspoons for a heavy load. Jars of jam are swished with milk, peanut butter jars are scraped clean with the silicone spatula, dressing and sauce bottles are turned upside down to drain. Using all of what you buy makes sense - otherwise you're just putting money in the bin. Cath
More Meals From Your Mince
We always add finely diced carrot, onion and celery, we dice it so fine once the mince is cooked you would not even know it is there, we add about 100 grams in total and only use only 300gms of beef mince, that makes at least 5 meals, 2 for us on the night, one to take to my son and 2 to freeze for another night's meal fo us, very economical. I usually buy the 1.8 kg tray of beef mince from Aldi and split it into 6 portions, this goes a long way for us; we aren on a very low income so every cent matters.

Be Careful What You Wish For
I have always wanted a set of heated curlers. I could never afford them or justify the expense. Recently we stumbled across a set in a second hand store.. they are perfect and work perfectly except I have done everything I can to get my hair to curl with these things. Every time I use them, within minutes the curl drops from my hair, regardless of what product I use and how much, whether I use it or not. Yes, I have done it all. I have wasted more money on product than I would ever have done normally, just so I could use this dream machine I have always wanted. Today after an hour of sitting with the curlers in my hair, I removed them and my hair fell flat against my head. Angrily I stuck my head under a tap, picked up a few scrunchies and knotted my hair into three ugly huge messy knots on my head, then I got the hair drier out and dried my hair. You guessed it...curls, beautiful wonderful curls and all it took was a few scrunchies and the hair drier... oh and a little bit of anger at myself for my stupidity at wasting money.
So be careful what you wish for because sometimes it isn't as wonderful as you think it is.

4. No Spending Month
We're into week three already! No Spending month is flying by, and for me, with minimal spending.
Last week I put petrol in my car, did a very small grocery shop, had morning tea with a friend (that was budgeted for before No Spending month started, as it was a special occasion), and gratefully spent $7 on 15 kilos of potatoes and 10 kilos of brown onions - rock bottom prices for those two pantry items we use all the time; and $20 on skin care that would normally cost well over $200 retail, and that will last at least a year (too good a saving to pass up).
We ate from the pantry, fridge and freezer. I picked the first of the tomatoes from the garden, and oranges and limes off the trees, as well as eggplant and capsicums and used them all in our meals. Having a stocked pantry is a big help when you don’t want to spend money; it frees up the grocery money for a savings boost, or a slush fund boost, or to help pay off a debt.
If you're struggling with No Spending month, go back to primary school and find a No Spend buddy to work with. You can encourage each other and support each other and act as each other's conscience when tempted to spend on a non-essential.
Heather wanted to know how to deal with a birthday party her pre-schooler has been invited to without spending money. First - the card. Make one. Use the computer or make one by using stamps or stickers or even cut up used birthday cards and keep at least $2 in your purse. Then the wrapping: use wrapping paper you have, or repurpose a box, stamp or colour plain paper, or add stickers to it. If your recycled wrapping paper is wrinkled, gently give it a go over with an iron on low heat, it will come up like new. And lastly the biggie: the gift. Go through your gift box to see what you have that will do. If nothing jumps out at you, make up a craft kit. Some glue sticks, a book of stickers, some coloured cardstock, a pad of paper (make it rather than buying), some printed colouring sheets, pencils or textas or crayons or paints can all be packed into a box or bag to make a craft kit. Or make a giant cookie and pipe the birthday child's name on it in coloured icing. If you don't bake, how about a giant chocolate freckle? Just melt a block of milk chocolate, spread into a circle on some baking paper and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands. When it's set, wrap it in cellophane and tie with a bow.
There are lots of ways to manage a birthday party during No Spending month, just use your imagination.
Have you thought of tracking what you're not spending? I always encourage you to track your spending, and I don't want you to stop. But track what you don't spend too. Next time you go to buy something and don't, record what it was and the price. Then at the end of the month you'll see exactly how much you haven't spent - I wonder if you'll be surprised!

1/2 cup sultanas
1 tin coconut cream
1 - 2 cups diced, cooked lamb
Method:
Sauté onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add curry powder and chutney, and stir until well combined. Add apple, lamb and sultanas and stir well. As the coconut cream and slowly bring to the boil.

Free Meals From The Freezer
Even a small stash of freezer meals can reduce the grocery budget. Single serves of spag bol, chicken soup, lasagne, fried rice, curry, pasta bake and moussaka are all in my small freezer, waiting to be used.
Freezer meals, put together from leftovers, are free food - it's already paid for. I love freezer meals, and not just because they're free food, but because they give me a night off from cooking, or save buying takeaway when my day gets beyond crazy and dinner is the last thing on my mind. I love them because they can be self-serve too. The meals are already cooked, they just need to be thawed and heated and that can be done in the microwave in just a few minutes.
You may be wondering how you build a stash of freezer meals so that they are free. It's simple really - portion control. We're a family of five, so most of my recipes make at least six serves. I dish up five when the meal is cooked, and as I'm dishing up I put the extra serve straight into a container and put it into the fridge to cool. Then after tea I put the lid on it and pop it into the freezer. I leave the container lid on the bread board so I don't forget to put it in the freezer before I go to bed, otherwise the fridge fairies may strike overnight! And I have one free meal added to the freezer meal stash. If the recipe makes more than six serves, I have more than one free meal to put into the freezer.
Hint: Use some masking tape and a marker to label the containers. Strangely enough chicken soup looks a lot like vegetable soup when it's frozen, as does bolognaise sauce and vegetable pasta sauce. Labelling the containers also stops everyone from pulling them all out, opening them to see what's in them then putting them back in the freezer.
Sometimes there are no leftovers or extra serves. That's OK. But when there are I take full advantage of them. I think it's far better to put a single serve into the freezer for a freezer meal than stash it at the back of the fridge until garbage night then toss it out - that really is just putting money in the bin.
Take a look at your recipes. Are there any you could perhaps stretch to an extra serve or two? If so, those extra serves could become freezer meals. I have a couple of recipes that serve four. I add a few extra ingredients (grated veggies or rolled oats or rice or even water or stock) to stretch them to make six serves. Then they feed us all and give me at least one freezer meal.
There are a couple of tricks to using free meals from the freezer though:
1. you must pay for them and
2. you must use them.
I budget $5 a dinner. When we have freezer meals I take $5 from my grocery budget and put it straight into the grocery slush fund (you could add it to your Emergency Fund or pay it off a bill or similar) because the meal is already paid for. That $5 is a lot easier to find than the $30+ that takeaway costs too - think about freezer meals next time you're tempted to dial for pizza!
Not everything freezes so plan your freezer meals around dinners that will freeze. Things that freeze well are pasta dishes, rissoles, stews, casseroles, soups, pies, pasties, sausage rolls, fried rice, cooked sausages (great for a quick curry) and quiche.
Then write "freezer meals" into your meal plan at least once a month. We usually have them on a Saturday night. I always plan a meal for Saturday night, just in case we don't have any freezer meals, but usually it's a GYO night. Sometimes we're all home for tea, sometimes there is only Wayne and I, sometimes it's just me.
It doesn't matter, if there are freezer meals then Saturday night in our house is simple - go to the freezer, choose a dinner and enjoy it because who doesn't enjoy a free meal.
