1. Cath's Corner
Hello Cheapskaters,
Wow these short weeks sure go fast! That's a good thing, it keeps me on my toes, and I need to be ready for anything this week.
We are finally moving forward with the kitchen reno. That means that the decluttering is in full swing. All the cupboards have to be emptied. All the pantry has to be moved. All the furniture will need to be moved, but we'll leave that until just before the building starts.
The kitchen dresser will be the last thing to declutter and move. It is full. Full of things I love and for the most part use. To me having something pretty and not using it is a waste. I'd much rather use the nice things we have and enjoy them, than let them sit in a cupboard collecting dust just in case something happens to them. So I use my crazy tea set. I use the crystal bowls and the china plates. I use the glassed and the dishes. But there's still a lot of them and I need to get ready to carefully move them someplace safe for a few days, then move them all back again.
Oh well, it will be worth it in the end. And once the kitchen is finished, we'll be able to do more cooking shows!
Before I go, we'll have our first monthly tip competition winner next week, so keep an eye out -if you entered a tip in May, it could be you!
Enjoy your newsletter and have a great week everyone.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Just Hit RefreshAre you sick of throwing away half eaten packets of crackers that have lost their crunch? Just put them in the oven for 5 - 10 minutes to refresh them and they'll be as crisp as - or crisper than - when you opened them. This works for rice crackers, rice cakes, corn thins ... any kind of crackers. (Remember to do this when you've already got the oven on for something else!)

Fruit Box Gift Wrap
The small plastic boxes that berries come in make the perfect container for sharing homemade goodies at Christmastime. Start saving them now so you have plenty on hand when you've done your baking. Line the box with baking paper then tie a ribbon around the top outside edge. Use pinking shears or other decorative scissors to decorate the top edge of the paper. Fill with your favourite biscuit or mini meringues in Christmas colours for a cute gift.
Cleopatra's Secret
Cleopatra did it, so I thought I'd give it a try! I found that using a lot of those facial foam cleansers were not only harsh on my skin but too expensive, so I decided to give good old fashioned milk a try. In the shower I pour a very small amount (say 50mls) into a plastic bowl & dilute it with a little water from the shower to warm it up. Then I just dip my face washer into the milk, give my face a good scrub & splash any excess milk onto my face. I still remove my make-up at night using a store bought make-up remover, but in the 3 years I've been washing my face with milk, I've rarely had a blemish & I honestly think my skin looks better than it ever did when using those over-priced foaming facial cleansers.

3. This Week's Winning Tip
This week's winning tip is from Ruth Gregor. Ruth has won a one year Platinum Cheapskates Club membership for submitting her winning tip.
Making Veggies Last with VinegarWe shop once a fortnight, living in an isolated area. I found fruit and veggies would rarely last the fortnight, with mould spoiling many items even though washed and dried before refrigerating.
By washing veggies and fruit in water with vinegar added (about 1 tbsp per litre), air drying on a tea towel, then packing between layers of newspaper in the crisper, or using a tea towel or cloth bag, most of my veggies now last until next shop. They are so expensive here, and are hard to grow with our limited water supply, so it's well worth the extra effort!
Congratulations Ruth, I hope you enjoy your Cheapskates Club membership.

5. On The Menu
French Onion Steak
This recipe is ideal for cheaper or budget cuts of steak that sometimes are not quite as tender as they should be for grilling or barbecuing. I often use Oyster Blade or budget rump for this recipe and it is delicious. In fact our non-steak eating child will devour steak cooked this way.
Ingredients:
Steak – Oyster Blade, Blade, budget Rump or whatever you like.
1 pkt French onion soup
Butter – approximately 1 tsp per piece of steak
Method:
Lightly oil the base of a shallow casserole dish. Spread one side of each piece of steak with about 1 teaspoon butter and then lay them in the casserole dish. Evenly sprinkle the French onion soup over the top of the steak. Cover the dish (with the lid or foil if it doesn't have a lid). Bake for approximately 1 hour in a moderate oven.
This dish makes delicious gravy as it cooks.
Next week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Lamb
Monday: Apricot Chicken, rice
Tuesday: Gnocchi in Tomato Sauce
Wednesday: Stir-fry noodles, chicken & veggies
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Corned Beef Hash
Saturday: Pies
In the fruit bowl: apples, oranges, mandarins
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.

MOO Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
One of the most popular MOOs on the Cheapskates Club website is the Cream of Anything Cup-a-Soup mix. The next most popular is the MOO Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup. I demonstrate just how easy this is to make at workshops - and I'm usually still talking about it when the whole recipe is made - that's how quick and easy it is.
So which would you prefer? Two jars (tins) for 50 cents (just 25 cents each!), or paying over $2 a can?
My favourite MOO** mix at this time of year, when the weather is cooling and casseroles are featuring more on my meal plan, is the MOO Condensed Cream of Chicken soup - so easy to use instead of a tin and much, much nicer.
I have a lot of recipes, mostly inherited from my mother and Wayne's Granny, that use tinned soup, especially condensed cream of chicken soup. It's a great casserole base, very versatile. It goes really well in chicken and rice casserole or a tuna bake. It makes a lovely version of scalloped potatoes too.
The problem is the tinned version you buy at the supermarket isn't particularly healthful and it is very expensive, even bought on half-price it is more that twice the price of the MOO version. Tinned cream of chicken soup is over $2 a can - this recipe makes the equivalent of two tins and costs around 80 cents to make if you have MOOed chicken stock, about $1.50 if you have to buy it. It is cheap! Really, really cheap. And it is good! Really, really good.
It is the easiest thing to make at home, and there are no special ingredients in it other than a stock cube if you don't usually use them.
MOO Condensed Cream of Chicken SoupThis is the equivalent of two tins of cream of chicken soup, much cheaper than bought and far healthier too.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups chicken stock (if you don't have your own, a bought stock is just fine, but adds to the cost)
1 Vegeta chicken stock cube (you can use another brand if you like, I prefer Vegeta)
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp paprika
1-1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup plain flour*
Method:
Put chicken stock, 1/2 cup milk and the seasonings in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute. Whisk the remaining milk and flour together until there are no lumps. Add to boiling mixture, whisking continually until mixture boils and thickens.
Yield: approximately the equivalent of two tins of Cream of Chicken soup. Freeze immediately or keep in fridge for up to 5 days. This soup mix freezes and thaws beautifully. Use to make soup or in place of tinned soup in recipes.
*I use plain wholemeal Spelt flour to make this mix. It gives it a nutty flavour. If you don't use white flour plain wholemeal works just as well.
**MOO - Make Our Own
So what is your favourite cream of chicken soup recipe? Mine is Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice Casserole, a favourite from my childhood when Mum made it in her trusty original burnt orange Crockpot :)
