So please use your local library and spread the word! I like the idea of a spending diary as I often feel we are far too wasteful in this household. This would need a whole family approach though, a non-starter here, with both husband and daughter spenders rather than savers.

I thought I'd use our glut of tomatoes and found a recipe on another blog. I made it tonight instead of watching the rugby. I nipped out to get the ingredients and 6 jars. I'm positive it would've been cheaper to buy ready made chutney. Worked out as approximately £4 a jar taking everything into account! Hope it tastes nice. This month has not been very frugal so far .<br />Mrs LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070413740231580278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-89357020573873018162015-09-18T20:59:21.680+01:002015-09-18T20:59:21.680+01:00The Lampedusa is a classic.

I find a large chunk of our costs is on snack things like biscuits and yoghurts for our boys, we can manage without and are trying to cut these out as much as possible now. I just got a new bread machine so I can make enough bread quickly - I usually set it to cook overnight. It's cheaper than shop bread but better than that it smells wonderful and tastes nice and is much more filling.
