1. Cath's Corner
Hello Cheapskaters,
Is it too soon to be saying Merry Christmas? Probably, for most of us. But really, October and November are two of my favourite months, because they're when we do the annual Own Your Christmas challenge, with the aim to have Christmas organised and wrapped and decorated by the 1st December. Then we can sit back and relax, and this year the relaxing is going to be more important than ever.
There's more information in the newsletter, and if you haven't joined the fun yet, there's still time.
Have a great week everyone.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Put a Message on Your MOO Christmas Gift Tags
Approximate $ Savings: $10
After Christmas each year, I collect the cards I have on display and pop them into my Christmas box (wrapping, filler pressies, decorations etc.). Then for next year's Christmas, I cut the card in half and use the front cover as a tag. One side has a beautiful Christmas picture, and the other side is blank for a nice long message (I like to put personal messages on my Christmas tags).

On the Fly Undercover Clothes Line
If you're renting or can't drill holes to hang things under your patio you can tie rope loops around the rafters at a distance of a bit less than a broomstick. Make the loops at a height you can reach. Then thread the stick (or old tent pole, garden stake etc.) though them and balance them. On rainy days you can hang your washing on hangers undercover. Easy to take down and no damage done.

No More Soggy Bath Mats
Have your towel handy and drape the end of it on your bath mat ready for you to step out of the shower or bath. Ensure your first step is on the end of your towel, then dry yourself as usual on the dry bath mat. You won't even need to hang it up.

3. This Week's Winning Tip
This week's winning tip is from Frances. Franceshas won a one year Platinum Cheapskates Club membership for submitting her winning tip.
Beat AusPost Delivery Time and Charges for Interstate Gifts This ChristmasThis year I have no problems sending presents from Adelaide to my grandchildren in Queensland. From the comfort of my armchair, and phone in hand, I have asked my daughter for ideas for birthdays, Christmas etc. I then shop online for the gifts, at stores I know that are in reach of Townsville. After finding the availability and the best price, I order what I need, pay for it through PayPal. I then choose the 'click and collect' option and have it with my daughters details. Within hours, they contact her, ready to pick up. DONE. With the long delivery times from Australia Post, I will be doing this from now on. Savings on - postage, time, shoe leather and $$$$.

5. Own Your Christmas Challenge
With just 85 days until Christmas, it's time to face it and get organised (if you're not already). To own your Christmas you need to put some effort in now. Then come December 1st you'll be sitting back, relaxed, organised and prepared, while everyone else is just realising they only have 24 days to get organised and prepare. And this year, being prepared and organised is more important than ever if you want to come in on (or even better under) budget, and still celebrate the way you usually do.
And of course, a side benefit is that in January, when the bills start rolling in, your letterbox will be Christmas bill free - you owned your Christmas so you won't have any bills to fear or worry about.
If you haven't joined the challenge yet, head over and get started.
This is a fun challenge, one that will save you money, time and energy, and really allow you to enjoy the Christmas season stress free.
Each week there are some tasks to be done. All broken down into doable chunks that even a pandemic can't mess up.
The Week 1 tasks are outlined here in greater detail, and you can get the Own Your Christmas planners here too.

6. On The Menu
Quick Apricot Chicken
Sometimes you need a quick, easy meal, and this Quick Apricot Chicken is it. You can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes, starting from scratch!
Ingredients:
2 chicken fillets
400ml tin apricot nectar
1 pkt French onion soup mix
1 cup rice
2 cups water
1 tsp chicken stock powder
Method:
Dice the chicken fillets. Brown in a hot frying pan. While the chicken is browning, mix the soup mix into the apricot nectar. Once all the chicken has browned, pour the apricot nectar mixture over and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down so the sauce is just simmering. Cook for 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
While the sauce is cooking, put 1 cup dry rice, 2 cups water and 1tsp chicken stock powder (or a cube) into a microwave safe dish. Microwave on HIGH for 12 - 15 minutes, until rice is cooked.
Serve apricot chicken over hot rice.
You can skip the rice and serve over mashed potato. You can add dried apricots to the sauce. You can add green veggies as a side dish. Lots of options with this meal, but the best thing is the speed you can get a complete meal, from scratch, on the table.
Next week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Lamb
Monday: Lamb Souvlakis
Tuesday: Refrigerator Lasagne
Wednesday: Corned Beef, & cabbage
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Apricot Chicken, rice, veggies
Saturday: Sausage Sandwiches
In the fruit bowl: Strawberries, oranges
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.

7. The $300 A Month Food Challenge
Free Meals From The Freezer
Today is the start of the Own Your Christmas Countdown. It's time to get serious about Christmas and planning for the holidays.
One thing on the list of things to do is make room in the freezer. Yikes! That means eating all those bits and bobs, putting freezer meals on the meal plan, getting creative with the food on hand.
It's a great way to save great way to save your grocery money. 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.
If your freezer is full of tasty, ready to heat and eat meals, now is the time to use them. Empty that freezer so you have room for the Christmas food. You know, the chickens, turkey, ham, roast beef, legs of lamb, prawns, salmon, ice cream, pastries, cakes, puddings - you get the idea. Room for whatever you enjoy for Christmas and New Year.
This year, probably more than any before, getting the Christmas food early is a good idea. Apart from the fact that you won't need to worry abut
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.
