Hello Cheapskaters,
Very quick and short newsletter this week. I'm in the middle of autumn cleaning and decluttering, and getting the garden ready for winter, so no time to spare round here!
I imagine you're all in the same boat. March and April seem to be the busiest months for yard work and gardening, with plenty of preserving to be done to fill the pantry for winter.
My list just keeps growing. I cross one thing off and add three more! Oh well, it will be cold and miserable before I know it, and I'll have some spare time. Until then, I'll just keep on Cheapskating.
Have a great week everyone.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Revitalise Wood Slats
Half fill a bucket with hot water and add a pot of really strong hot tea to the water. Make an applicator by cutting a cheap kitchen sponge in half and attaching each half to the inside edge of a set of tongs (secured with rubber bands). Then dip the sponges in the bucket of tea, press them together to squeeze out excess liquid and pinch each timber slat, pulling the sponge along the timber to ensure an even coverage. Tea is high in tannins which replace the tannins that leach and fade in sunlight.

How to Unblock a Toilet the Easy Way
Give a very generous squirt with dishwashing detergent in the water in the toilet bowl, this loosens things in the pipes, then pour a bucket of hot water down the toilet; leave it for about 20 minutes. If it is not completely cleared, don’t flush it, just grab another bucket of hot water, pour down the bowl and wait; then it just flushes away. I found it on YouTube, it actually works and I’m so happy now I don’t have to call a plumber.

No Weed Winter Gardening, Using Waste Materials
Throughout the year I save any newspapers, magazines, sale catalogues and cardboard boxes to use as a weed barrier in my garden. Lay down a layer of newspaper or cardboard and cover with mulch (garden straw, grass clippings, Autumn leaves, palm fronds, bark mulch or pebbles - whatever you prefer) to hold it in place and look more attractive. Over time any weeds beneath will die off as they have no access to sunlight, so you won't have to pull them out. Autumn and Winter is the perfect time to do this while the weather is cooler and in preparation for new growth in the garden during Spring, without the need to constantly weed. If a weed does pop up here and there throughout the year, lay some more newspaper on it and cover with mulch again. You've reused something which would usually have to be recycled and saved yourself a lot of energy in not weeding your garden throughout the year, and all for free! And of course throw down some of the compost you've made from household, garden and kitchen waste, beneath the newspaper layer as a free fertilizer and soil improving food for worms - then let the worms dig and condition the soil for you, with no extra effort or expense.

Vegetable Moussaka
The capsicums, zucchini and eggplant are finally ready! Every year I forget that capsicum and eggplant are so slow growing,a nd get impatient waitng for them.
Then I wonder what we'll do with them all. This is one of my favourite ways to use eggplant. It is a hearty dish, almost a meal on it's own, but it's good with a green salad too.
It keeps well in the fridge if you want to make it ahead of time, and freezes, thaws and reheats nicely too.
Ingredients:
2 large egg plant, sliced into 1cm rounds
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large brown onion, diced
125g mushrooms, sliced
2 zucchini, cut into 1cm rounds
2 sticks celery, sliced thinly
2 tins diced tomatoes
1 tsp oregano
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp tomato paste
extra parmesan to sprinkle on top
White Sauce:
1 egg
2 tbsp grated parmesan
1 cup Greek yoghurt
pinch nutmeg
Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Sauté the sliced egg plant for about 5 minutes, turning after 3 minutes.
Remove from the pan. Add the tomato paste, onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, until onion is clear. Add the mushroom, zucchini slices, celery and tinned tomatoes. Stir in the oregano. Bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes until mixture is thickened.
Oil a lasagne dish. Layer the egg plant slices and vegetable mixture.
Make the sauce by beating together the egg, parmesan, yoghurt and nutmeg. Spread over the top of the moussaka.
Sprinkle with extra parmesan.
Bake for 45 minutes until moussaka is bubbling and golden on top.
Next week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Beef
Monday: Quiche & salad
Tuesday: Ricotta Gnocchi
Wednesday: Vegetable Moussaka
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Chicken Curry & Rice
Saturday: Hamburgers

5. The $300 a Month Food Challenge
Last week we tackled the pantry.
This week's it the fridge. The fridge can be a big money sucker if we don't keep it clean, tidy and use what's in it.
So do you know what's lurking in the back of your fridge? Perhaps there's a science experiment or two growing on the bottom shelf or some leftovers waiting patiently at the back to be used up. You could even have some veggies wilting sadly in the crisper, ready to be used in a soup or casserole or even a good stock.
The only way you'll really know what is in your fridge, and how much money you won't be binning is to get that fridge cleaned, tidied and organized.
To get started, fill your sink with hot, soapy water.
Start with the Door
1. Empty the shelves. Put all the jars, bottles, tubes, individual sauce packs and anything else on the bench.
2. If the shelves are removable, take them off and wash them in that nice hot, soapy water and dry them thoroughly. If they aren't, get a wet washcloth and a tea towel and wash them thoroughly, wiping them dry as you go. Don't forget to wipe over the actual door panel.
3. Get a damp cloth and wipe over the seals, being sure to very carefully get into the seal proper, wiping out any crumbs and dust that have worked down into it.
4. Go through all those jars and bottles on the bench. Check the best before and use by dates. Anything past its use by, toss. Anything past its best before date, use your discretion. Anything you know you will never, ever use toss. Empty the contents into a bowl to go into the compost and put the containers in the recycle bin.
Tip: If you have double (or even triple) bottles and jars of the same thing, check the best before date. On the jar that expires first, put a great big No. 1 with a permanent marker. On the jar that expires next, put a great big No. 2, and so on until all the jars are done. Now you know which jar or bottle to use first. As each one empties, put it in the recycle bin.
5. Put everything back, organizing as you go. Put sauces with sauces, all the salad dressings together, mustards together etc.
The Fridge Proper
1. Start with the top shelf. Empty it completely. Remove it from the fridge and put it in the sink to soak.
2. Go through everything you have taken out. Anything you aren't sure of, compost. Put the jars, packets or tins into the recycle bin.
3. Wash and dry the inside of the fridge cabinet, don't forget the top. Unclog the drain if you have one in your fridge. Put the shelf back in place.
4. Repeat the process for the second shelf.
5. Take the crisper drawers out. Empty them, then wash and dry them thoroughly.
6. Any sad vegetables put aside to process for casseroles, stock or soup. Any science experiments add to the compost bowl.
7. Wash the sides of the fridge cabinet, paying particular attention the back and floor under the crisper drawers. These areas are notorious for catching spills and drips and hiding them until they are sticky, horrible messes.
8. Put the drawers back.
Put the Food Back
You'll have a pile and a half of food on your bench and it's time to get it back into your fridge.
How you organize your fridge is up to you.
I keep condiments, cream, sour cream, butter, eggs, cheese and containers of beetroot, pineapple and sun dried tomatoes on the top shelf. I use a lid from a Décor container that broke as a tray to hold the jam, cream, sour cream, cream cheese, mustards etc. together. The tray slides out easily so I can get what I want and it keeps the jars together.
On the second shelf I keep yeast, yoghurt, shake-n-bake, dried fruits and any prepared meals or leftovers to be used up.
On the third shelf, left-hand side is a square container. In it you'll find blocks of butter and tasty cheese, tubs of sour cream and cottage cheese. Next to it is a Tupperware container of chopped vegetables, ready to be used. The small green container holds mushrooms or spring onions. In front of it is the meat thawing for tonight's dinner.
In the crisper drawer I keep fruit: oranges, apples, mandarins, lemons etc. and some vegetables. I use Gel Bags to keep the vegetables in the drawers fresh until they are used.
Organize your fridge to suit your family and the way you work.
Cleaning the Outside
Clear everything off the top of the fridge. Take all the pictures and photos and magnets off the door.
Get a damp cloth and wipe it over. Pay special attention to sticky finger marks. Wipe over with a dry tea towel as you go.
And you're done!

9. This Week's Question
This week's question is from Denise, who is battling stockpile fairies.
Denise writes
"I have a 15 yr old son who is the pickiest eater, the only thing he will have for breakfast is an ‘Up and Go’ breakfast drink. This is not the problem, I shop well and stock up when they are half price, and at least I know he is getting a decent breakfast. The problem is, when he knows there are a lot of them, they will disappear at a rapid rate. I don’t particularly like hiding food around the house (and it seems my stockpile is invisible unless there is something they want like chocolates or biscuits)…and I’ve tried explaining the money implications to him, but it doesn’t seem to matter. Any ideas on how to hide his Up and Gos? I often buy a few slabs at a time, so they aren’t small or light. Thanks:)"
