Hello Cheapskaters,
Well it is wet, windy and cold here! Great weather for sitting by the fire and reading or knitting. Great weather to be locked down! Or for baking, and that's what I've been doing this week. Baking up a storm! The cake tins are full, some of the ingredients that needed using have been used and having the oven on helped to warm the kitchen too. Oh, and I slipped some stale bread into the oven to dry as it cooled down, then whizzed it into toasted breadcrumbs. Waste not, want not.
Living the lockdown life is fun isn't it? Well no, it's not really, but a little attitude tune up and it can be. Yes, it's stressful, especially if you can't work. Or if you have school aged children at home that you need to supervise (and if you do you I am cheering you on, I am in awe - I've seen the way they teach kids math and spelling these days!). Or perhaps you're working from home and supervising school lessons. Or like me, missing my girl! She's locked down in her own home, far away from me, and we can't visit.
But isn't it amazing that this is 2021 and we have access to the Internet? We can do video chats whenever we like to catch up. Or we can go old school and actually make a phone call and talk. We can order our groceries online and have them dropped at the door, or book a time and go do a contactless pick-up. Even our library is allowing call and collect so it's easy to update books - now that's service! And we can login to the Member's Centre and find a new recipe to try, or join a conversation in the forum, or download one of the ebooks, or find the answer to a question in the Tip Store.
And if you're not working, there are quite a few hours in the day you can use to do pretty much whatever you want around the house and garden. If you're working from home, think about the time you're not sitting in traffic or on a train or bus - time to finish that book or knit that jumper, or even learn a new skill or bake a cake. Time to read to the children or play a game. Catch up on all those movies you've recorded or saved on Netflix.
And time to think about how blessed we are to live in Australia. Yes, lockdowns are tough. But we live in a country with an amazing health system. We live in a country with an amazing social security system. We live in a country with just 33,843 cases - and that's since January 2020, and if I've done my sums right about 0.15% of the population! We live in a country with a temperate climate (even if I'm thinking it's jolly cold today). And we live in a country where we can freely whinge and whine and complain about lockdowns and restrictions and dare I say it, our Governments, without fear.
So yes, lockdown is hard. But we Australians are tough, and blessed to live here, and determined, and we will survive.
Have a great week everyone.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Plan the Move and the Deliver and Save Hundreds
Moving house is a lot of work and expensive. Those hours put in by the removalists add up. What I do is go over to the new house a day or two before everything gets moved. I take sheets of paper, some sticky tape and a thick black texta. I give each room a number and put a sign on each room’s door, with the number clearly shown. I then measure up and decide where each piece of furniture goes and use the paper and textas to make a sign. For example, if I am in the lounge room, I write ‘TV unit’ or ‘3 seater sofa’ then place each sign on the floor where I have decided that piece of furniture will go. When I have worked out a room I quickly note all the things that are going into each numbered room. On moving day I stand outside the front door and as the men carry things in, I tell them which number room it goes in. They go to the correct numbered room, look for the furniture signs on the floor and place the furniture on the sign. The furniture goes exactly where I want it. All the decisions were made well before moving in day. Last time we moved house we saved 2.5 hours of removal time. There was no extra shifting of furniture needed. With the saving of 2.5 hours of removal time, we saved about $240.

Saving Over $1,000 with Aldi Yearly Mobile Plans
A few times a year Aldi have their yearly mobile home packs. $99 for a year of unlimited texts and calls and 15 g of data. It is on the Telstra network and once you sign onto it you can have it carried on year after year for only $99 per year. I personally go over the 15 g of data but just take a $35 extra data when I’m out. My entire plan for the year is $ 134 and my husbands $99. Has saved us over $1000 each per year. They also do a yearly pack with heaps of data for the young ones for $159. Have had no problems with the network and well worth the value.

Simple Shoe RepairI have used super glue to repair shoes before, when the sole comes off away from the top of the shoe. This has been short lived. I was recommended a product called SikaFlex which is a sealant as well as an adhesive and it works quite well, just be sure to use as directed when gluing the sole back to the top of the shoe.

5. The $300 A Month Food Challenge
Shop the Sales
I know, it's commonsense and nothing new, but you'd be surprised at just how often sales are missed and good opportunities to keep the pantry stocked on budget are lost because one simple step is skipped in the grocery shopping process.
I do the bulk of grocery shopping at Aldi, and usually buy generic or store brands, but there are some things we like in a particular brand and won't compromise on, so when I'm writing my shopping list, I always do it with the Coles and Woolworths websites open and my price book handy (to check the Aldi prices). There are a couple of local supermarkets I look up too, because occasionally they have great prices on things we use.
This is probably the biggest way we save on groceries; having the online catalogues open lets me compare prices between the supermarkets quickly and easily. This means I can jot items down under the supermarket they are cheapest.
Like most Australians, I'm surrounded by supermarkets, or pass at least one of the majors when I go out, so it's easy to check the shopping list and pop in to pick up whatever is on the list when it is on sale, preferably half-price.
Some of the things I shop around for are:
Tea
Coffee
Butter
Cheese
Vegemite
Meat/Chicken
Toothpaste & toothbrushes
Shampoo & Conditioner
Eucalyptus oil
I do the same thing for fruit and veg - look at the specials for the greengrocers I use, and choose what to buy and where to shop and how to stretch those dollars until they scream.

MOO Tomato Soup
A few weeks ago on our YouTube show I was talking about how easy it is to MOO tomato soup (and yes, I still use cans too). I make this soup for weekend lunches. Sometimes I serve it with grilled cheese sandwiches, other times with toasted, buttered crumpets and vegemite.
Occasionally I add a tin of savoury brown lentils to it to bulk it up. This makes a lovely soup that is good enough to serve to guests. Actually the plain soup is good enough to serve to guests.
The trick is to puree the tomatoes until they are very smooth. Do this with a food processor or a stick blender. If you don't have either of those tools you can press it through a sieve, this just takes a few minutes and the end result is well worth it.
I hope you like my MOO Tomato Soup.
MOO Tomato Soup
Ingredients:
2 410g cans diced tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 litre milk
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Blend the tomatoes until smooth and pour into a large saucepan. Stir in the tomato paste, milk and sugar and mix well. Warm the soup to a simmer over a medium heat, then stir in the butter. Do not let the soup boil or the milk will curdle. Blend with a stick blender or strain to remove any seeds or pieces of tomato. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This makes six hearty serves of the most delicious tomato soup.
Don't be tempted to omit the sugar, it takes away the acidity of the tomatoes. The butter gives the soup a richness and also helps to thicken it.

Lesson 29 Are you a Thrifty Thelma or an Extravagant Enid?
Great question isn't it? Makes you stop and think - or it should. Themla is a Cheapskate extraordinaire, and makes sure she always gets the most bang for her buck. Edith on the other hand just shops, usually without a plan and without thinking about where the money for her shopping habit is coming from. Because yes, Edith is in the habit of just shopping.
Thelma is dedicated to stretching her money and making it work for her. Edith isn't. Don't be an Edith. Go back to Lesson 1 and review your answers to the questions.
Whether you are a Thelma or an Enid or someone in between, take a few minutes to think about where you are. Take your Saving Revolution notebook and write some positives about where you are in your financial journey. Make a note of the areas where you are doing well in saving and pat yourself on the back.
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.
