Now, I'm on a very tight budget so welcome any tips on how to save pennies with household expenses. It is not my normal t.v viewing (am more of a Dexter/Breaking Bad kind of person) but thought I'd have a nosy at their scrimping suggestions.
Having watched a couple of episodes I've come to the conclusion that:
a) I live near a lot of VERY cheap shops
b) They don't really understand what items people have lying around their homes
c) I must be completely missing the point
I don't have spare Cath kidston material in my linen cupboard, or essential oils, wax, geletin, random bags of sunflower seeds, spare glass vases or whatever else they think you can 'scrimp' candles/bird feeders/laptop covers out of.
A lot of the stuff is in my local pound shop for MUCH cheaper. I understand the recycle/upcycle/ethical aspect of it but its about saving money isn't it?
The food budget part of it was quite good, although my local butchers don't serve 'cheap' cuts of meat any more once it becomes popular (oxtail/pig cheeks? 
)
So am I missing the point, or they aren't that scrimpy or am I just used to being REALLY scrimpy :) (meant to be a bit light-hearted)
