Hello Cheapskaters,
Welcome to another Bright Ideas newsletter.
Bright ideas come in all forms, and from so many different sources. One bright idea shared with me this week was for a very simple muesli bar (the recipe is in the Slices recipe file). Quick and easy, and inexpensive, especially compared to the price of even generic muesli bars, it was a hit in our house.
Another bright idea was a tip for composting without a compost pile. I've already started trenching (see Latest Tips) in the fallow beds, with plans to plant in them come spring. Gotta love an easy and free way to revitalise and replenish garden beds.
Living the Cheapskates way is all about bright ideas and using them to enhance our way of living, debt free, cashed up and laughing. Just taking a simple idea and using it to save money or time or energy, or all three, is empowering. Taking a simple tip and using it to make life better is even more empowering. There are over 12,000 simple tips that will help you do that in the Tip Store, and over 160 Tip Sheets full of bright ideas in the Member's Centre. That's a whole lot of money you could be keeping for fun stuff!
Have a great week everyone.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Perfect Slow Cooker Roasting
Usually when you're cooking a chicken or piece of beef in the slow cooker you need to either use a rack or balls of foil to keep it raised. This is so it doesn't stew in it's own juices, but rather roasts.
Instead of wasting foil, use whole potatoes. Scrub them, but leave the skins on, then arrange them in the base of the slow cooker. Place your chicken or beef on top and cook.
The potatoes will cook in the juices, becoming soft and delicious, and the chicken or beef will "roast" away. It's usually fork tender by the time it's cooked. Serve it with the potatoes, and use the juices in the bottom to make gravy. Yum!

Look for Op Shop Bargains at a Better Price
Try your local op shop, they usually have a few to choose from at a much better price. The option of an "auto" setting is great as it will turn down and simmer until you get home from work. Yes, some of the more expensive cookers have fancy options, but they are not necessary. I've had my cheap brand for years. Think about the size that will suit you best, if you have the freezer space I'd recommend a larger size cooker.
Contributed by Jenny McManus
Broaden Your Horizons When it Comes to Slow Cookers
My best advice is broaden your horizons and consider an all-in-one cooker. Not only are they an awesome slow-cooker, they are also a pressure-cooker, rice-cooker, pasta-cooker, steamer, and baker! You can do everything from ribs to risotto, cakes to casseroles, and soups to slow-cooked anything! Best thing is, the included recipe book (and online resources) will give you the slow-cook AND the pressure-cook option for relevant recipes. So if you are prepping in the morning, you can select the 8-hour slow-cook option, and if you didn’t have time in the morning and need to whip up dinner after work, you can select the 20-minute pressure-cook option. Same-same! Plus, everything becomes a one-pot meal due to the sauté/sear functions. I have the Philips All-in-one and LURVE it! If you have littlies that are likely to try to open a pressure cooker, then perhaps worth paying the extra for the Pro version, but otherwise save your money and get the original. You’ll wonder what you used to do without it!

3. This Week's Winning Tip
This week's winning tip is from Sonja Smout. Sonja has won a one year Platinum Cheapskates Club membership for submitting her winning tip.
Buying Bulk Meat Saves $500
Due to health reasons I'm very fussy about the quality and ethics of the meat I buy. But grass fed, organic/free range meat is SO expensive. I also have a lot of dietary restrictions, so ready made things aren't an option for me. I've found a company that is a farm and butcher all in one. They are within 200km of home (I'm in a major city, so cattle farms aren't just up the road!) You can choose to buy large amounts of meat - up to a whole cow if you have the freezer space. I get a 1/4 cow, and spend a day portioning it out into one meal serves for my husband and I. This way we are getting the amount we need and not wasting money by eating more than we actually need. I prepare most of the mince into ready made patties with herbs and salt and pepper and this saves a lot of time on busy days. And if I run out of plain mince, I can still use these for most meals even with the flavouring in them. I cut the steaks down to weight and save all the off cuts for packages of diced meat. While I'm doing this, I throw all the fat into my slow cooker and render it down so I've got tallow as well. This gets frozen in small amounts and used instead of oil. For a day's work I usually save $400 - $500 vs buying it in smaller amounts from organic butchers and I know for certain I'm reducing food transport distance and supporting local farmers!

Slow Cooker Corned Beef
Ingredients:
1.5kg - 2kg piece corned beef
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider or brown vinegar
2 tsp mustard powder
Method:
Rinse the corned beef and place in slow cooker. Add brown sugar, vinegar and mustard powder. Fill with cool water until the meat is covered. Cook on HIGH 6 - 8 hours or until meat is cooked.
Tip: cook the meat the day before needed and let it cool in the stock in the fridge overnight. It will cut much better and have deeper flavour.
Next week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Chicken
Monday: Corned beef, mash, carrots, mustard sauce
Tuesday: Baked Spaghetti, salad, garlic bread
Wednesday: Butter Chicken, rice
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Roast pumpkin & parmesan risotto
Saturday: Enchiladas
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
Stop Composting Perfectly Good Food
I don’t mean stop composting waste, but stop putting perfectly good food in the compost and watch your grocery bill shrink. I mean it. Just because a carrot is hairy or the celery is limp or the apples are wrinkly, doesn't mean they're compost or chook food.
They are still perfectly good to eat, so when you compost them or feed them to the chickens or the dog you're throwing money away.
Everyone has wrinkly veggies and fruit sometimes, it's a fact of modern life. But make sure you use them all up.
Make soup.
Grate them for fritters.
Put them in stews.
Grate them and put them into a veggie pasta bake or a veggie lasagne.
Grate or slice them and dehydrate them if you can't make soup or stew or fritters.
Make relish or pickles from them.
Roast them - older veggies are best for roasting.
Slice, dice or grate and add to pizza toppings.
Add them to frittata or omelettes.
Use them in pie filling.
Use them in fruit or even vegetable crumbles.
There are so many ways to use veggies, wrinkly or otherwise, so there should be no throwing good food in the bin.
Peel anything too hairy or wrinkly. Revive carrots and celery in an ice bath for 15 minutes or so.
Just because it's wrinkly or hairy doesn't mean it's bad. Bad is mouldy and stinky. If the fruit or veggies are mouldy and/or stinky, then compost them. Don't eat anything obviously off - I'm hoping you'll use commonsense here. If the eyes and nose say no, bin it.
And if you find you have wrinkly veggies all the time you may need to rethink how much you buy or grow.

9. The Weekly MOO Challenge
MOO Fabric Softener
Vinegar is an amazing fabric softener, and it works to keep your washing machine clean too. But sometimes you want something more. Something with a little fragrance, that will remove all the detergent residue, keep the laundry soft and not damage your washing machine (and most commercial fabric softeners are not friendly towards your washing machine).
This fabric softener works a treat if you have sensitive skin, suffer from eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis or if you're sensitive to the ingredients in commercial products.
So here's a simple, frugal, effective and safe fabric softener you can whip up in under a minute.
You will need:
Epsom salts
Non-iodised salt (rock salt works)
10 - 15 drops of your favourite pure essential oil
Simple put equal quantities of Epsom salts and sea salt in a jar, add your essential oils and shake like crazy to mix.
Then add 1 tablespoon into the washing machine (I add it in when I add the detergent) and let it do its job.
How easy is that?
You can buy Epsom salts from the supermarket and some pharmacies. It will cost you about $8.50 for a kilo box.
Rock salt is approximately $4/kilo.
Essential oils vary hugely in price, but I allow 10 drops costing 50 cents (most will be much less, this works for me and makes costing the fabric softener a little easier).
That equates to $6.50 per kilo, or 7.5 cents per tablespoon (working on 64 tablespoons per kilo average in an 8 kilo washing machine).
10. 2021 Saving Revolution
Lesson 24 Shop Smart, Buy Smart
Shopping is not a recreational activity!
Shopping is a chore.
No matter what you are shopping for the routine is the same.
• Do an inventory.
• Make a shopping list.
• Calculate whether you can afford to buy right now or have to save up.
• Do your research.
• Hit the stores and start haggling.
Don't be conned by the super cheap prices and the limited time span. If you don't need or want something then it's not a great deal, it's just expensive clutter. If you do need or want something, and can afford it then stick to the routine and enjoy your shopping.
Just remember: shopping isn't a hobby. Keep that in mind when you're out and about and you will be a super smart shopper.
Log into the 2021 Saving Revolution forum and join the discussions too. They're fun, keep you accountable, and over the course of the year will be an amazing source of valuable hints and tips for you too.
