1. Cath's Corner
Hello Cheapskaters, From little things, big things grow. We've all heard the saying and for the most part believe it. I've actually witnessed it. We had an oak tree in our back yard that constantly dropped acorns, which we raked up because we didn't want another oak tree. Long story short, we missed one. And it grew. And grew. It was a stubborn little thing, resisting all our efforts to kill it off. It was mowed over, stomped on, trampled by little feet. And still it grew.
In the end we gave up and moved it to another part of the yard, where it is still growing, strong and healthy. The difference is today it is a big, beautiful and shady tree. That grew from a tiny acorn.
Regular saving is like the tiny acorn. $10 a week, put away regularly, adds up quickly. It's easy to save a small amount regularly. You can always find that little amount to save, using the change in your purse, the $1 in the washing machine and the leftover grocery money.
If you are wanting to build savings, start small. Save $5 or $10 a week, regularly. As you get into the habit of saving you'll get excited and start to save more. It's addictive, you won't be able to help yourself. Just remember that from little amounts, big amounts grow.
Have a great week everyone.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Enjoying Coffee and Saving with Keep Cups
I buy at least four coffees out a week and found out my local coffee shop offered a 50 cent discount on every coffee if you brought in your own cup. Based on my calculations I will save a minimum of $104 dollars a year, plus all the cups I won’t use help save the environment - a win win all round. My coffee tastes so much better in my stainless steel keep cup and stays hotter too. Ask your favourite coffee shop if they offer a discount if you bring your own cup, and if they don't suggest they do!

Cut Through Greasy Water and Save
Washing greasy dishes by hand? I've found a dash of vinegar into soapy water cuts through the grease more effectively than simply adding more soap. I've drastically cut down the amount of dish soap I use when washing up and haven't had to re-wash anything for ages!

Making Hard Worker's Pants Last Longer
My husband is a farmer. When his work pants get holes in the fronts I mend them. When the patches get holes I do not mend them instead I cut out all of the backs and throw the fronts away. I have good material for patches for another pair.
Contributed by Anne Wilson
Editor's note: I do this too! And I take off the buttons and zips and put them in the mending box. The pocket linings make good patches for pockets - Wayne has a habit of shoving screwdrivers in his pockets and they often make holes. I simply stitch another pocket over the outside of the holey one. Cath

4. Own Your Christmas Challenge
It's only 10 weeks until Christmas, but that doesn't worry us now does it? We'll be ready to enjoy the holidays well before the 24th December.
I saw the first "it's 10 weeks until Christmas" meme over the weekend and shuddered. Not because I won't be ready, because with the Own Your Christmas Challenge I will be, but because I was imagining all the panic that one little Facebook post created throughout the world.
Week 2 of the challenge is Trappings and Wrappings week and I've been busy sorting and tidying the wrapping paper, gift bags, ribbons and bows and sticky tape. I picked up a four pack of sticky tape over the weekend, and checked the gift tags on Monday. I've been making gift tags and cards from the scraps left from card making all year, so there are plenty to choose from.
The lovely Maureen shared some gift bags with me a couple of months ago, they just need to be decorated (or re-decorated) and the gifts slipped in them and the wrapping is done! Woo Hoo!
I'm still working on Christmas cards, I have most of them done. There are a few "special" cards that need to be finished and then they'll be ready to drop in the box. The change in post office delivery means they'll take longer to be delivered and I like the tradition of having them arrive on 1st December, or the closest to, so I'll be posting them on
Some new resources were added to the Own Your Christmas Challenge this week too. Hop on over to get this week's tasks and have a peek at what's new.
If you haven't joined the Own Your Christmas Challenge yet, it's not to late. Join us here , and look forward to a debt free Christmas in 2019.
This week's tasks:
Task 1: Do a stock take of your Christmas supplies. Find all the wrapping paper, sticky tape, tags, ribbons, bows, boxes, cards and decorations. Make sure you have everything you need because this week you are going to start wrapping and writing.
Task 2: Write up this week's Christmas Cards.
Task 3 : Buy, wrap and label the first lot of gifts.
Task 4 : Continue working on handmade gifts.
The tasks are outlined here in greater detail

Boiled Cakes
Boiled cakes may seem a little old fashioned but they are so easy and the end result is a delicious, rich and moist cake. These are two of my favourites, a fruit cake and a decidedly decadent chocolate cake.
Boiled Pineapple Fruit Cake
Ingredients:
440g pineapple pieces,
1 teaspoon mixed spice
500g mixed fruit
½ cup brandy or sherry
200g glace cherries
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
1 cup self raising flour
125g butter
¼ teaspoon salt
Method:
Pre heat oven to 160C, and line and grease a 20cm square tin. Combine pineapple, mixed fruit, cherries, sugar, bicarb soda, butter and spice in a large saucepan. Stir the fruit mixture over a medium heat until sugar dissolve and butter melted. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and allow to boil uncovered for 3 minutes. Add the brandy and allow to cool completely. Mix eggs into the fruit mixture until just combined. Stir through the sifted flours and salt. Pour into the tin; the cake may be decorated with blanched almonds if desired. Bake in the oven for 1½ hours, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cover with a tea towel and allow to cool in the tin.
Boiled Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup water
2 tsp cocoa
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
125g butter
1 1/2 cups SR flour
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place sugar, water, butter, cocoa and bicarb soda into a medium saucepan and stir over a low heat until butter has melted. Bring to boil and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. When mixture cools stir in beaten eggs and SR flour. Beat well. Turn into a greased and lined 18cm round cake tin. Bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour. Cool in tin 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
This week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Chicken
Monday: Quiche, salad, chips
Tuesday: Refrigerator Lasagne & salad
Wednesday: Haystacks
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Sausages, salad, bread
Saturday: Toasted sandwiches
In the fruit bowl: bananas
In the cake tin: Fruit cake, Cranberry Hootycreek Slice

6. The $300 A Month Food Challenge
It's Time for a Pantry Challenge
October may seem like a strange time for a pantry challenge, but I think it's the perfect time.
For most of us, we need to make room in the pantry, fridge and freezer for the Christmas and New Year grocery shopping. I also need to make sure there's room for the yearly stockpile shopping, as well as the extra Christmas goodies.
I've already started the stockpile shopping, trying to get a head start, and I have a few non-perishable Christmas goodies stashed in my wardrobe. I still need to make room though.
The meal plan for October, November and December is done and on the fridge, so I'll do my best to stick to it. If there's something we don't have, I'll hunt around for a substitute.
I have more fruit soaking to make Christmas cakes (bought on clearance from Aldi before last Christmas and frozen. Did you know you can freeze dried fruit for longer long term storage?). This will be an ongoing ritual for a couple of weeks until they're all done.
I still need to make the puddings. This is something I always did with Mum, and this is the first Christmas without her guiding me with this family tradition, so Hannah and I will do this together, and we'll be laughing and remembering all of Grandma's Christmas traditions as we measure and mix and cook.
The baking list is long, it always is at this time of year:
Christmas cakes - large
Christmas cakes - small
Christmas puddings - two
Shortbread
Fruit mince pies
Fudge
Christmas Snickerdoodles
Cranberry Hootycreeks
Lemon Cheesecake - two
With all the baking and cooking to be done, we need room in the pantry for the ingredients and the fridge and freezer for the finished products.
And that's why I've given myself a pantry challenge.
Are you going to join me? Do you need room for all the Christmas food? Have you thought about the money you'll save by using up what you have (I have - it's going straight to the holiday fund for our trip next year!)? Have you started your Christmas baking? Have you finished your Christmas baking?
