Todays jumble sale buys

I Dont normally have time to visit the book section of the jumble sales but as there was some time to kill and not enough time to go home in between  two jumbles  so i took a look and i was really pleased that i did ,

  Just lately  i read my books then pass them onto my neighbour but these are in such good condition especially the hard back ones i will read them then sell them on my stall , They all cost 10p each , Even the cookery book , 

The paperback is in not so good a condition but i really fancy reading a christmas book so i am going to start that one today as doing two jumbles in one day has tired me out.

This boys hoodie was 20p and the original label is still intact and it was nearly thirty pound.

These shoes were £2.00 and they are brand new.

Disgusted at last nights eat well for less

The women on last nights eat well for less was spending more in a week on food that some people have in a month to spend , 

Alright she could probably afford it having her own dance school but it was disgusting she said she had a phobia of big supermarkets and shopped at the local garage shops or one stop small tescos

I think the producers of programs like this should come into the real world , Yes people need educating about food and swapping brands etc but surely there is a better way to do it , people need to go back to basics with ordinary cheap ingredients ,

 Even when i was working full time i spent sunday mornings batch baking and filling the freezer with meals for the week like spag bowl spaghetti bolognese, chilli , pizza , quick meals were simple egg and chips with beans or stir frys ,

 There are lots of frugal food bloggers out there who would really contribute to this type of program , simple frugal meals and cakes and puddings like these.

I will have to stop watching the bake off

Every time i watch the bake off it reminds me that i have not baked a certain thing for some time in the past few weeks i have baked sponge puddings and a bakewell tart as you know,
 so this week i have a made a lemon meringue , I tend to be a frugal baker choosing ingredients that we already have or buying the cheapest ingredients to make something,
 so i wondered how much i would have to  buy that's not in my store cupboard and it turned out to be just the lemons at £1.31.
 I thought it would be an expensive make  as where i live now it's almost impossible to get yellow sticker lemmons like i used to be able to buy them, Drastically reduced ,
 The recipe called for two large lemons and i had 5 medium sized ones , so i grated all the peel and pressed the juice out of all of them and froze half for another pie so its not as expensive as i initially thought ,
Mind you i was so gutted when i found out i didn't have enough  white plain flour for the pastry so i had to use a third wholemeal , Not so nice but saved a trip to the shops , I really dont know what happened as i dont run out of flour usually
