Anyone fancy some Thrifty Household Tips for 2023?

[AnonWeeMouse]

Inspired by current happenings on certain other social media platforms, I thought it might be fun to share some Thrifty Kitchen tips, other rooms in the home are acceptable.

I'll start.

Run out of Baking trays?
Simply use garden planters filled with soil and some baking parchment. Place baking parchment on to soil and press shapes of items to cook into the soil below.

Lost your favourite bread knife?
Simply use a Black And Decker Jigsaw with a new blade fitted to cut through bread like a dream.

Make Washing liquid go further!
Simply dilute it down in a second bottle and use that for washing up.

garden planters? For use in the oven 🤣🤣🤣 is this a joke they’d melt!!!

It's meant to be somewhat silly yes.

Continually running low on Milk?
Simply drill holes in spoons used by cereal eaters and rebottle the milk once all cereal is eaten.

Save money by not buying shampoo. Oh hang on, has that one been done? 😉

Save money on bin bags by using gift bags from Christmas to put your rubbish out in instead.

Save on laundry by wearing your underpants outside your trousers.

You can buy fewer pairs of pants if you adopt the 4 ways of wearing approach.

1st the right way.
2nd the backway.
3rd inside out and right.
4th inside out and backward.

1 pack of 3 pairs becomes 12 pairs with this one handy trick.

Save money on food and on heating by taking speed.

Is this supposed to be like Viz’s Top Tips?

Haha I know what this is

And bus fare... Fly to work instead.

Plastic bags and sellotape are good for storing leftovers. As are margarine tubs and jars.
But so are spent mortar shells. Just launch the mortar shell, rinse the innards with hot soapy water and you've got a stylish now place to keep rolled up newspaper.

No...

I'm collating them all for a very very serious new book.

Save money on binoculars by simply moving closer to the thing you wish to see.

In that case; save money on expensive jigsaw puzzles but emptying a bag of frozen chips on the table and getting the kids to make up whole potatoes out of them.

Can't afford a haircut?
Simple use a rolled up newspaper and a lighter. To gently singe the hair to desired length.

People are being rather mean. I wish I'd heard of these tips before.

When I was desperate for a couple of perfectly round fried eggs I bought two diamond bangles from Bonham's and used those.

When I stupidly bought a tin of chickpeas without a ring-pull I had to go out and buy a Range Rover just so I could run the tin over.

When they didn't have any Flash in Sainsbury's I had to fly to Saudi Arabia so I could buy napalm at a rather dodgy arms' fair.

If I wasn't so completely thick, lazy and unimaginative, I wouldn't be so poor.

Have you had a bath and don't have a dry towel? Simply use a shower squeegee directly on your skin to remove the water.

Have a home phone and often need to take notes? Simply use the back of letters and circulars...
