Hello [% member:first_name default="Cheapskaters" %],
Merry Christmas! It's December so I can officially say that now.
Last week was crazy busy, with errands for Mum and finishing the decorating, more baking, a little time for gardening, as well as doing a stocktake of the stockpile so I know where I'm at. Throw in a couple of unexpected visitors, a new job for Hannah and the week just flew by.
At least Christmas is covered. The Own Your Christmas challenge has officially finished, but if you're still working on owning Christmas, it's not too late. All the planners, tip sheets and help is still available here.
Have a great week everyone,
Happy Cheapskating,
Cath

Holiday Pantry Challenge Saves a Bundle
Approximate $ Savings: $250+
On the last day of school my routine was to go to the supermarkets and stock up for the holidays so I wouldn't have to drag my kids around with me during the holidays. This year for the first time I decided to do the opposite. I didn't go anywhere near the supermarkets and I still haven't. I am looking in my fridge, freezer and pantry every day and am creating meals as good as ever. I have spent a total of $3 on milk and I still have so much food to use that I am thinking I'll be able to keep this up into next week. This will definitely be my new holiday routine.

Recycling an Empty Tissue Box
When my family has colds, or right now, hay fever, we go through a lot of tissues (I don't like hankies) and we end up with a lot of empty tissue boxes. I was struck by the ornate designs on tissues boxes these days and thought that it’s a shame to throw out (into the recycle bin, of course) such lovely, albeit empty, boxes. Most tissue boxes have writing on one of the two longer sides but if you cut up the box (long sides only), score it down the centre with a sharp blade, then fold in half, you’ve made yourself a beautiful gift card. Although the inside is not white, like a standard card, the ‘cardboard effect’ of the inside of the tissue box gives it a recycled feel which is very on-trend. I also used the end pieces to make gift tags, and part of the second long side of the tissue box to make a bookmark, being sure to cut off any branding.
Approximate saving:
$1.00 per card made (from an item that would otherwise be thrown away)
+ $0.50 per gift tag (x 2)
+ $1.00 per bookmark
+ $2.00 per photo surround
x Amount of gift giving occasions in one year = a lot of savings!

The Zero Food Waste Trifecta
I love to cook, save the environment and save money, so these simple actions win the zero food waste trifecta!. In our house, when I cook, I have two lidded containers at hand. Any fresh vegetable and fruit scraps that the rabbit can eat, go in one (for example: a half-eaten apple, broccoli stalk). All of the peelings and other organic matter go into the other container, with egg shells, coffee grinds etc., to go into the compost. Added to the compost is rabbit poo and crappy sand from our yard, leaves etc. When we have finished eating our meals, I collect any cooked leftovers or scraps from everyone's plate and put them into ziplock bags. I also save zip lock bags from when I buy things like rice, muesli, nuts etc that have a reseal option. Then I pop them into the freezer. When I have so many bags my freezer is full, I call my friend who has a dog and she collects it in bulk to feed her pooch. So, that about covers my zero food waste trifecta!

Chicken Tetrazzini
This is a low fat version of an old favourite. It makes 8 large serves or 12 smaller serves. Use left-over chicken to make it more economical. I like to use spatzle, a German egg noodle, for this dish but any flat noodle will do.
Ingredients:
375g uncooked whole-wheat egg noodles*
1 spray cooking spray
2 tbsp margarine
3 tbsp tarragon flavoured vinegar
500g mushrooms, sliced
1-1/2 cups low-fat chicken stock
1 cup skim milk
4 tsp cornflour or arrowroot powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried tarragon
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1/4 cup low fat sour cream
3 cups cooked chicken meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
3 tbsp grated parmesan
Method:
Cook egg noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a lasagne dish with cooking spray. In a large non-stick fry pan heat 1 tablespoon of the margarine and all of the vinegar together over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, stirring; about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside. In a medium-size saucepan, whisk chicken stock, skim milk and arrowroot together until smooth. Stir in remaining margarine and cook over medium heat. Stirring with a wooden spoon, cook until thickened and boiling, about 8 minutes. Stir in thyme, tarragon, salt and pepper. Remove sauce from heat and stir in sour cream. In a large bowl, combine cooked noodles, chicken, mushrooms, peas and carrots and sauce. Pour into prepared lasagne dish; sprinkle with grated parmesan. Bake until bubbling and hot, and top is starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
This week we will be eating:
Sunday: Roast Lamb
Monday: Portuguese style chicken, baked veg
Tuesday: Chicken Tetrazzini
Wednesday: Lamb fritters, steamed vegetables, gravy
Thursday: MOO Pizza
Friday: Honey mustard chicken
Saturday: Honey soy chicken wings, fried rice
In the fruit bowl: apples, oranges
In the cake tin: fruit cake

6. The $300 a Month Food Challenge
Christmas Dinner on a Budget
A long, long time ago I shared our Christmas dinner menu and costed it out to under $50. Believe it or not, with some nifty shopping, it can still come in at under $50.90
When you're planning your Christmas dinner, remember that it's just one meal, on one day of the year. Yes, you want it to be nice, and special and different from every other meal during the year, but there's no need to spend a month's grocery money on that one meal.
You can still have a delicious Christmas dinner without blowing your budget by:
1. Planning what you're going to eat. Make a detailed plan and include everything from the meat to the veggies to the desserts, nibblies on the table, even the tea and coffee and the milk. You don't want to find out on Christmas morning you're out of a vital ingredient.
2. Making a shopping list of the exact ingredients you need. Shop your pantry, fridge and freezer as you make your shopping list so you're not buying ingredients and items you already have.
3. Put just the quantities you need on the shopping list i.e. if you only need 1 mango to top the pav, then only buy 1 mango.
4. Check the store sales flyers to see what on your list is on sale. Check prices at your local butcher, baker and greengrocer too, then plan your shopping trip around those stores.
5.As you're shopping, if you find a cheaper brand of comparable quality, seriously consider using it to save money. If you're not sure, leave it, but make a note to try it another time. Christmas dinner isn't the meal to experiment with unknown ingredients.
This is the Christmas dinner that has become a family tradition for us, with planning and careful shopping it is always under $50.

8. This Week's Question
Q. I am wondering if you have a recipe for bath salts, scented candles and scented soap for gifts please. Paula
A. There are a number of recipes for bath salts, bubble bath, body wash in the Member's Centre. Here is one for bath salts.
All the ingredients for these bath salts can be bought at the supermarket or a chemist. If you aren't sure, good craft stores carry the ingredients for bath salts, but at a price, of course.
You will need:
A large glass or metal bowl
2 cups Epsom Salts (don't be tempted to use ordinary table salt it will dry out your skin)
1-2 teaspoons bicarbonate soda (makes your skin silky soft)
10 - 12 drops essential oil (lavender for relaxation, geranium, eucalyptus or whatever takes your fancy)
Directions
In the bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Now, add the essential oils and stir, stir, stir like crazy, mixing well, so the bicarb doesn't fizz up. Stir the salt until the aroma begins to come up, about 2 minutes of stirring. Now you can pour the salt into jars and seal.
Use clean, glass jars with airtight lids (baby food jars, pasta sauce or even bottling jars are good). Make sure they are completely dry. Decorate with a ribbon and a label, or a circle of fabric glued to the lid. Attach an instruction label such as "Add 2 tablespoons to warm water for a relaxing bath."
These bath salts are so easy to make a five year old could do it, so if you're stressing over gifts, let the kids make some for you.
You'll find the instructions for making scented soaps (there is a particularly nice vanilla and almond version) in the Tip Store. Melt and pour soaps are the easiest for beginners, and I've put the instructions and ingredients here.
For candle making, it depends what type of candle you want to make, there are so many, from dipped to poured to rolled beeswax and even soy. I don't make candles, so my knowledge is limited to what the kids made in youth groups. I suggest you google "candle making for beginners" and you'll find plenty of information. You might also like to visit your local craft shop and ask about classes or kits. If you are knew to candle making a kit will give you an opportunity to try the craft and decide if it's worth your while.
