Until then it's just not spent, so to me saying I saved money by making the sweet potato cup cakes wasn't true until I had actually banked the money into our savings. In this case, the cupcakes were for a birthday celebration, lunches and snacks and to take to a party. So I took half from the birthday budget, and a quarter each from entertainment and grocery slush fund.

From where? I understand the concept of savings from homemade to shop bought goods and having envelopes for groceries etc but where do you get the money to switch around?Lorraine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379640218491078465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-32721010269522381302017-12-02T18:51:52.869+11:002017-12-02T18:51:52.869+11:00I like the sound and look of those sweet potato ch...I like the sound and look of those sweet potato chocolate cupcakes Cath, and great savings there. The price individually of those cupcakes is ridiculous, yet some people pay for those items as if there was no other option!<br /><br />My biggest saving this week was rain! We had a heap on Thursday night and now the gardens don't need watering for a little while as the weather is staying cooler for the next week. The car also got a free wash as we put it out in the rain.<br /><br />We were in Adelaide last weekend, so I stocked up at Aldi. The main item I purchase is their organic tin tomatoes as I use them a lot. I also buy the dried fruit, like dates, apricots, sultanas and mixed fruit for cooking. I buy extra for my mum too! <br /><br />This comment is a little late, but I have been trying to stay of the internet (especially social media) a bit more so I can get some things done. It is always great to catch up on what you have been doing.<br /><br />Have a lovely week!<br /><br />xTania<br /><br />Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.com
