Our young student left on Tuesday night so now we have a bit more time for frugal living ! The freezer still has lots of produce in it and we are adding to it with the windfall apples, so there has been lots of home cooking going on. I made chocolate cupcakes, homemade popcorn, homemade tortillas, homemade chapattis, bread and pizza. We also stewed windfall apples, picked and ate plums and picked and ate lettuce and cucumber.
We got a year round pass for the Open Air Museum along with our entry fee and took along our own food and drink to avoid the expensive cafe prices. MissShoestring gifted us her chicken and roasted vegetables leftovers when she came home one night and I used them to make chicken fried rice for an evening meal.
MasterShoestring passed 9 GCSEs and to celebrate requested takeaway pizza, that was much cheaper than taking him out to eat so his Dad treated him to 2 Mars Bars for dessert as well !
