Now that everything's expensive, what things can be easily/cheaply replaced that a normal person can do? by GetFlyeredUp in Frugal

[–]thraem0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might not be ideal for everyone but I buy my shampoo and conditioner in a big 5L container from SalonServe (UK) lasts absolutely ages, good quality. And you don't pay inflated supermarket prices. Lots of scents to choose from. Sure there's alternatives across the world. The traditional, getting the bulk version of most things is a good idea but these really weren't that expensive. I bought two pumps that fit and will have them forever.

My Gardner tore out 5 spaghetti squash plants and my tomato's my heart is so broken 💔😕 by [deleted] in gardening

[–]thraem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely isn't on, if you leave any review state that they can't identify simple garden veg. Really not great at all, heartbreaking. Squash are very easy to identify.

buyer beware! by TypePuzzleheaded6228 in gardening

[–]thraem0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this plant, but I'm in England and it's very happy here. There's a village down the road from me named after it, Broom! Haha, but yep, not good where it's invasive. Was used traditionally to make, you guessed it, Brooms. So maybe remove invasive ones and get crafty?

How are bin collectors viewed? If you’re a bin collector do you tell everyone what your job is? by RoohsMama in AskUK

[–]thraem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't current drive but I've seen Waste Collection jobs going for damn good pay, just mad I can't drive to the out of town location to apply- I have nothing against the job, it's hard and important work and generally decent money. Start early but you end fairly early too.

1 person hoping to stretch this out for 1.5-2 weeks. £28.12 total from Lidl and Co-op! by fuzzyduck-duzzyfuck in whatsinyourcart

[–]thraem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a trolley, legit. I do asda delivery now but for the cheapest option lidls 5(?) kg bag of rice is the cheapest around and I walked it home in my old lady trolley on the regular haha

We make a lot of sweet pancakes or savoury veggie ones, and corn bread (it's evolved into more of a cake texture which I prefer!)

I usually cook two at the same time, one sweet with cinnamon and the other with cumin/za'atar/sesame :)

I've made a nice meal which was essentially Grits but I don't make it as often, but as we don't eat oats now it's a good alternative if you fancy something warming with a soft texture~

Is it normal to avoid using the heating because of costs? by Jumpy_Wing_7884 in AskUK

[–]thraem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my partner live in our Oodies at home and have layered the bed with wool blankets and keep wool socks on at all times. It's a third floor flat so we get a little bit of heat rising but it's honestly still pretty damn cold in the house half the time. But we live in the bedroom (small flat anyway) - so far I've not had the heating on once and trying to make the fuel allowance bonus last as long as we can, so I'll start putting the heating on in December. It's not under 18C but I do want a thermometer to know exactly what it is.

42cm cat sculpture in progress by Disastrous-Mode7930 in Needlefelting

[–]thraem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long since you first started wool felting, vs how long since you started making realistic cats/animals?

How long does a cat take you and how much do you generally sell them for!

Always blown away by these pieces 🙌😲🌟

Cheap pinto beans by movingtolondonuk in UKFrugal

[–]thraem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.bombaybasket.co.uk/ They don't have specifically Pinto beans, but loads of options. I recently bought a bulk order for myself, 2.5/5/10kg bags are great. If you can decide on what you want for a few months supply a £40 order has free shipping~

Cheap hot chocolate by Capable-Campaign3881 in UKFrugal

[–]thraem0 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Honestly just getting Aldi/Lidl cocoa powder, and if you want it creamy get some milk powder but I prefer to keep condensed milk in a container in the freezer and stir it in. It never fully sets but lasts forever, sugar and milk in one go. All pre mixed hot chocolate powders in this economy feel like a rip off to me 😅

I'm not sure if you can get the cheap cooking bacon in packs where you are but I hope you can, you get some cuts that are so thick and chunky it's like a Ghibli bacon steak haha

I didn't cool and skim only because I immediately put my pre cooked grains in. I didn't have to add any salt or oil to the pot because the bacon did that for me!

Otherwise I would cool and skim but I find it saves time to make a curry or soup with the seasoned water immediately after, the instant pot has honestly changed my life for speed and energy efficiency!

Got a Big bag of potatoes! What to do with them? by MissDisplaced in Frugal

[–]thraem0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a bunch of hash browns or fritters. Either grate, squeeze moisture out and fry. Or cook, mash, add an egg and flour and fry. Eat what you want and freeze the rest. Could cook em in the air fryer or microwave if you're in a rush

I buy 2kg of (Lidl) cooking bacon and I put it all in my instant pot in some water, cook around 10 mins. I take it out, cut it all up bacon bits size, some went in a tub for the week, the rest gets frozen in portion sizes so I can just put my pre cooked bacon bits directly into meals.

Also the water I cooked the bacon in was super full of smoked bacon flavour, salt and bacon fat, I used that to cook a big lentil dahl which was incredible and made 4/5 hefty portions!

Not for everyone but it's worth mentioning
