1. Cath's Corner
Hello Cheapskaters,
I'm away this week. Thanks to modern technology, I was able to get this weeks newsletter ready before I left home. There's no phone or internet cover where we are, so getting ahead was essential, otherwise there wouldn't be a newsletter!
Getting ahead is important in so many areas: meals (having back-ups in the freezer is so handy), gifts (no need to stress when you need one), shopping (one of my personal favourites - shop ahead as much as possible to save not only hundreds of dollars, but hundreds of hours each year too), debt repayments (who wouldn’t want to be debt free sooner, and save some money at the same time?) - just about everything we do in a day we can get ahead on.
As the year winds down, and it is winding down, just seven weeks left of 2019, take a little time to think of how you can get ahead for 2020 (and if you don't already have one, our 2020 Living the Cheapskates Way Budget & Lifestyle Planner is a huge help - a shameless plug here, but there's only a few left!).
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Take a Paper Serviette and Create Something Amazing
Another fun craft idea is to use paper serviettes to decorate cards or fabric. First, peel off the layers off a serviette (usually three including the picture layer) and keep the picture side. Then cut a piece of Gladwrap to the same size. Place your cardboard, material or whatever you wish to have the picture from the serviette on, then a layer of glad wrap, then the serviette right side up, then baking paper to protect the napkin. Using a hot, dry iron, gently iron over the baking paper, pressing lightly, until the image is stuck to the card or fabric. You end up with a lovely card, or placemat or even a wall plaque for a child's room if you use Disney printed napkins.
Contributed by Penny Hughes
Editor's note: the Cheapskates card gang used this technique at the first retreat, about four years ago now, and we were all thrilled with the finished cards. I love the idea of using Disney or other child-themed serviettes to make placemats. You could do a set of placemats with matching coasters and add some serviettes - perfect for setting a birthday table. They'd make having a new table setting for Christmas dinner inexpensive too. Or imagine using pretty florals or tea cups to create a table setting for a high tea! The results are limited only by the variety of paper serviettes you have in your stash. Cath
Using the Safety Net to Build a Stockpile
When we reach the medicine safety net we do not have to pay for medicines 'till the start of the next year. This gives us over $60 a month to use for other things. This is when I stock up on hand washes and shampoos; dishwashing liquids; toilet rolls; body washes and toothpastes. Okay I am not saving a lot of $$'s, but when medicines have to be paid for, we have a cupboard full of necessities. I have been doing this for three years now, and it certainly saves a lot of angst.

Money Up The Chimney
No matter what the time of year, don't let heat or air conditioning escape up the chimney. Even in the heat of summer, your fireplace can be costing you money. Check for leaks and keep the damper closed when the fireplace is not in use.

4. Own Your Christmas Challenge Week 8
Can you believe it? Do you need to pinch yourself? It's true, this is the second last week of the Own Your Christmas challenge!
This is a fun week, I think the best week of the challenge.
If you've followed faithfully over the last seven weeks, this week you'll be putting the finishing touches on your gift buying and wrapping, getting your last lot of cards written, addressed and stamped and enjoying the fun of decorating.
And all either on or even better, under your Christmas budget.
As I said, this week is the week to start decorating, especially if you have outdoor decorations to put up. Give the windows a wash and re-pot or tidy up any pot plants ready for your entertaining. The outdoor lights are up under our verandah. The lanterns have been hung, and we just need to light the tea lights to enjoy sitting outside of an evening. I splurged and bought a gorgeous tea light lantern to hang at our front door. It's so pretty I may just leave it there all year round!
We sorted the decorations a couple of weeks ago and planned where everything will go, including the new decorations Hannah bought. So this week Hannah and the boys will start decorating, and I'll add my finishing touches when we get home, so that everything will be finished for 1st December. I've given over the tall boy in our entrance to her to decorate and where the Christmas trees go has been swapped around - but we have a decorating plan!
While you're at it, you might like to give outdoor furniture a swish'n'swipe too, so you can enjoy balmy December evenings under the stars (with or without guests!).
The tasks are outlined here in greater detail
You can get the Own Your Christmas planners here too.

Baked Macaroni Cheese is a favourite in our house. I like to be able to prep it in the morning and finish it off at tea time. It goes well with a big salad - lots of lettuce, cucumber, capsicum, red onion, diced tomato, spinach leaves and olives are my favourites.
Baked Macaroni Cheese
Ingredients:
180g large elbow macaroni
500g sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Cook macaroni in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the water and add 3/4 of the cheese, the mustard, spices, eggs and just enough milk to bring the liquid up to the level of the still hot macaroni. Stir well and heat on the stovetop till the cheese melts. Put into a buttered lasagne dish and cover with aluminium foil. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the centre is hot. Remove the foil and add the remainder of the cheese to the top and bake an additional five minutes. Serves 8.
Note: Yes, the recipe calls for 500g of cheese. You can cut it back if you want to - just be aware the recipe won't be as cheesy or as tasty and the sauce won't be as thick. It's up to you!
Next week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Chicken
Monday: Chops & salad
Tuesday: Baked Macaroni Cheese, salad
Wednesday: Sweet'n'sour chicken, rice
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Fish, wedges, salad
Saturday: Cheesy Filled & Grilled Quesadillas
In the fruit bowl: Still eating the mandarins off the tree, and still loving free fruit.
In the cake tin: ANZAC Slice, Cranberry Hootycreek Slice, Lemon Ginger Slice, Scones
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
Last week was a repost of part 1 of Anne's series on OAMS, this week it continues. Please remember - this is an older post, so the prices quoted were correct when first posted, they may be different now. The idea is to ignore the prices and learn the lesson: anyone can stick to a grocery budget!
MY OAMS Routine Part 2
Last week I shared part one of how I tackle OAMS or Once a Month Shopping. This is the continuation, the list, what I bought and where and how it stretched to feed my family of four for one month.
This is the list from the monthly shop:
3 x 3l skim milk
4 x 2l orange cordial
1 x 1l shampoo
1 x 1l conditioner
1 x 1kg Dishwasher powder
2 x surface spray
1 x 600m dishwashing concentrate
1 x 16pk TP
2 x mixed fruit
3 x Weetbix
2 x ricies
6 x marg
2 x 1kg frozen mixed veg
1 cauliflower
3 x peanut butter
2 x breadcrumbs
1 x 1kg bacon
2 x 500g Strasburg
1kg frozen peas
2 x 1kg tasty cheese
1 x marinated chicken
1kg frozen green beans
2 x 600ml cream
2 x 300g sour cream
1kg frozen corn cobs
175g toothpaste
2kg bananas
1kg brown sugar
2 x 6pk meat pies
2 x 1kg spaghetti
1kg penne pasta
2 x 2kg white sugar
2 x 1kg plain flour
6 x 1kg SR flour
2 x English muffin 8 pk
1 x fruit mince pies (my one treat!)
2 x plain crackers
2 x milk arrowroot biscuits
2 x scotch finger biscuits
1 x 500g honey
2 x blitz mints
TOTAL $179.30
Here's what I had in the fridge/freezer/pantry, which all helped to keep the cost down, although I usually have a pretty well stocked pantry these days thanks to living the Cheapskates way and cooking from scratch:
6 x mince
4 x casserole steak
2 x osso bucco
6 x steak
4 x sausages
2 x soup bones
1 x chicken
3 x roast beef (or pot roast)
2 x silverside
1 pkt cardboard fish fillets
1 x sausage mince
1 pkt frozen mixed veggies
2 x stewed apples
1 x Vegmite
2 x tuna
1 x salmon
2kg rice
1 x rolled oats
icing sugar
castor sugar
lots of herbs/spices
2 x lge beetroot
3 x pineapple rings
1 x tomato sauce
3 x tomato soup
1 x soy sauce
1 x bbq sauce
1 x wholegrain mustard
1 x white vinegar
1 x balsamic
5kg potatoes
1.5 kg onions (or thereabouts)
1kg carrots
1 lettuce
5 tomatoes
2 cucumbers
1/2 cabbage
1 broccoli
2 dozen eggs
SF flour
Plain flour
cornflour
wholemeal flour
bread mix
coconut
I buy my meat and chicken in bulk - last side of beef will last us 6 months if we have red meat 5 nights a week. I'll probably get 7 - 8 months from it with chicken and fish.
I buy chicken in bulk - 25kg skin on breast fillets at a time for 6.99/kg, 10kg wings, whole chickens for 3.99/kg, sausages @ 3.99/kg.
Meat and chicken adds around $18 a week to our grocery budget.
Next week I'll share how I stretch the groceries I buy to feed my family and stay on budget.
