Household hints & tips to save money

In a spray bottle I put 200mls water, 200mls vinegar and 50mls methylated spirits.
It cleans the windows and shower screens a treat too.

This has been amended. Apologies everyone.

Also 50mls of vinegar boiled up in the kettle cleans it up beautifully.

In a 500ml bottle I put 350mls water, 100mls vinegar and 50mls methylated spirits.

Just an amendment to the water, vinegar, metho recipe.
DH says I have it wrong - It's equal amounts of water and vinegar and 50mls of metho.
Apologies All.

To save money, don't go looking at the shopping thread....

PS Don't grocery shop with the kids either..

[mcmich]

And don't shop with DH (as bad as kids). End up with way more in the shopping trolley.

When I take DH and kids with me shopping, we spend about 3 times more.

I take the kids about twice a year, which was Sunday....

this is very handy, love it 

Portion your mince meat and other moist foods in a bag using a chopstick or other item you may have on hand before you freeze it so you can easily choose exactly as much as you need for later use

Fabulous Uni - I always vacuum pack as flat as possible (for quick defrost) 500gms of mince at a go.
I will start freezing 1kg lots like that. You're a genius.
