Hello Cheapskaters,
Well the days are warming up. That means the garden is growing. The bees are buzzing in the lavender bed and are all over the apple tree - the blossom is just beautiful. We've barbecued twice this past week. I love summer and daylight saving, as the days warm up we'll cook more and more on the barbecue and that means the kitchen stays clean and the house stays cool.
On Sunday Hannah and I went through the big freezer in the laundry, and updated the inventory. It's all repacked, and the inventory updated and I was relieved to know that it holds enough red meat, chicken, fish, fruits and vegetables to last us easily four months, probably five. With prices rising, it's nice to know I can wait for decent sale prices to restock.
The veggie garden is looking good. The tomatoes and eggplant are growing every day, but something is eating the basil. I've not lost basil to pests before so I'm keeping an eye out to see if I can find what it is. The beans have shot up, I can't wait to be able to pick fresh green beans for our meals. Wayne put together two more smaller raised beds and we will be transplanting the raspberries into these.
It has been a busy week, and every minute has been thoroughly enjoyed. And it's all been done the Cheapskates way.
There's a lot happening in this newsletter so grab a cuppa (or a cool drink) and I hope you enjoy the read.
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Unwrapped Christmas Gifts
I’d like to add to the tip about not wrapping Christmas presents on today’s newsletter, that when I was young (and then carried in for my children) our presents were always packed into a pillowcase. Easy, cheap and fun to go searching through!
Contributed by Wendy Iacono
Editor's note: This is an oldie but a goodie. Another fun wrapping idea is to save boxes. Cereal boxes, mix boxes, all those boxes that we're inundated with from the surge in online shopping. Don't wrap them, just close with some tap, stick a label and a bow on top. So much fun to wonder what's in a Sultana Bran box or a Kmart box, and be surprised with the contents. Cath
A Simple Wedding CeremonyA lot of people desire to get married in a Church but the cost can range in the thousands for a Church wedding, for example the Anglican Cathedral in Brisbane can cost thousands of dollars. A good way option to take care of the legals is to have a micro wedding, through a service such as Simple Weddings. For $199, the legals and registrations are taken care of. https://simpleweddings.com.au/ If a religious blessing is required after the ceremony, some ministers and pastors do offer this option for those who want it for free. Alternatively, a religious ceremony can be conducted afterwards at the reception where all the guests can be invited.

7. On The Menu
Salad on a Plate The days are warming up, and the evenings are getting longer. It doesn't take long once spring starts, and that means salad weather. In our house a salad is the meal, not a side dish. And it is hearty, and full of fresh fruits and vegetables, bursting with flavour.
A basic green salad consists of lettuce, capsicum, cucumber, spinach, celery, onion and a dressing (my favourite at the moment is balsamic).
We often add to that base tomato, feta or tasty cheese, corn niblets, grated carrot, olives, bread'n'butter cucumbers, mushrooms, pineapple, beetroot and sliced zucchini. Again everyone adds their favourite dressing - or not.
These salads we have as the side/veggie component of a meal, along with whatever protein is on the meal plan: chicken, steak, sausages, chops, corned beef, pastrami, Quick Rice Patties, Tuckshop Burgers, rissoles, hard boiled egg etc.
When I serve salad as a main meal it usually has some or all of the above green salad combos along with either potato salad or pasta salad (Caprese, Curried, , Tuna, Creamy, Summer Veggie are some of our favourites), and coleslaw. It is a full meal and so delicious on a hot summer evening with everything crisp and cold straight from the fridge.
In summer I make coleslaw, potato and pasta salads in bulk at the start of the week, leaving the dressing off the coleslaw so it doesn't go soggy. I boil a dozen eggs and put them in the fridge, ready to peel and add to a salad plate. Two or three tins of pineapple are put into the fridge to chill. When one is opened (we get two meals from one can of pineapple rings) the leftovers are put into a Tupperware container and stored in the fridge.
Salad plates don't cost a lot, and if you grow most of what goes on them they cost even less. Tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, spinach, capsicum, zucchini, parsley, celery and onions are all easy to grow, even in a small backyard or a tiny apartment balcony. You really can't beat the taste of freshly picked produce in your salad.
Salad no longer needs to be the boring lettuce, tomato and beetroot of years gone by.
Next week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Beef
Monday: Creamed Cheese Patties, salad
Tuesday: Pasta Bake
Wednesday: Honey Mustard Chicken, mash, veg
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Curried Sausages, rice
Friday: Muffin Surprise
In the fruit bowl: bananas, oranges, strawberries
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.

8. The $300 A Month Food Challenge
The Grocery Bill Reduction PlanI'm on a mission, a mission to slash our grocery bill as much as I can over the next month. The aim is to get it down by at least 50%. That sounds a lot, but it can be done, I know, because I've done it before.
I have a grocery bill reduction plan, and I'm working it!
I remember not so very long ago thinking that I'd have to increase the grocery budget, that $80 a week just wasn't enough. Then I realised that I could trim that figure and still have the things we wanted and needed. I just had to go back to basics, the way I shopped when Disaster Struck.
2020 has seen me change the way I shop, again. With the shortages and price rises, restocking as something is used has been the easiest way to ensure we always have the pantry stocked. But that means drawing on the grocery budget more often, and buying smaller amounts. I have to say I much prefer a once a year shop and get it over with. And I'm planning on returning to that way of shopping in 2021, just so you know.
But right now, a small shop is done each week. That made it easy to start trimming. I started off small, trimming just 10 per cent from each food bill. Before too long the savings were three, then five, sometimes seven times that amount. I've managed to trim our grocery bill right back, to just $200 a month! That's what is was when Disaster Struck and the kids were babies. And I can still add to the stockpile and the slush fund with this budget.
Here's the plan I used to slash the grocery bill:
Week One:
1. Do a complete fridge, freezer and pantry inventory. I did this again last Sunday. It took a couple of hours but I know exactly what we have, how much we have and how long it will last. As you inventory, note what you have and use these ingredients to menu plan for the week. Include breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. Make up a shopping list adding only the ingredients, toiletries and cleaning products that you need. Use one of the online shopping lists to calculate the total cost. Take just that amount of money with you plus $5 to cover fluctuations in produce costs.
2. Do not buy water (your tap water is just as good, if not better, and much cheaper). Do not buy cordial or soft drinks. If you really need a flavoured drink, make up some cordial or use real fruit to make old fashioned cordial (there is a great recipe for 50:50 Cordial in the Drinks recipe file) or slice a lemon or lime or orange and float it in a jug of water. Cut back on the tea and coffee too - perhaps you only need one variety of each, after all you only drink one cup at a time. I found our tea consumption had more than doubled with everyone working from home. So now I make a pot of tea with three tea bags, let it brew properly (the secret to a really good cuppa) and pour it into the thermos to stay hot. We're back to almost pre-pandemic tea bag consumption. You'll not only save some money, you'll save kilojoules too.
3. Absolutely no pre-packaged snacks (crackers, chips pretzels, nuts, dips, lollies etc.). Instead use the food you have to make your own snack foods. Try veggie sticks with peanut butter or vegemite, or pita crisps (dry pita bread in the oven, then break into chips). Whizz a can of chickpeas with some tahini to make hommus. Or add a little french onion soup mix to some sour cream and bring back that party staple of the 1970s the french onion dip.
4. Take your list and your cash with you when you shop - leave all your cards and other cash at home. Stick to the list, resist all temptation to stock up or add things that are on sale. You are on a mission to cut your grocery bill, not increase it.
Next week we'll tackle what to do in week two of this grocery bill reduction plan.
