$21 challenge is very good Jess, great if you can do it once a month.

I just thought there were some good ideas in the recipes.

Thanks, DJ. Inspirational.

My little saving discovery for this week was to make a mix of fresh garlic, fresh ginger and brown onion , chopped together in TMX to form a paste. Put into sandwich bag and press flat and freeze. Break off lumps as require and add to chicken stock, steamed fish or chicken in Varoma. There is lots of fresh garlic available in Australia at the moment, remember harvest on longest day.

Fresh garlic from my garden.

Thanks for the tip Chookie - what are the quantities?

Great idea Chookie, I have five heads of garlic and don't want them to go green.

About equal amounts of each.
Michele , love your new Avatar. Very special.
AB, home grown garlic is very special. We don't want to waste it.

I will get back into this when school starts as it would be good to run the pantry down and save some money. I will be looking at $120 per week to make it viable for me.
