Thrifty Saturday
Food storage and thrifty ways to achieve it. I haven't bought clingfilm or freezer bags for more than 20 years. The only times I've ever bought ziplock bags was when we needed them for the rare occasion when we fly....these are then washed out and used until they're no longer fit for purpose [then recycled]. This is just what I do...gnat bottomed by name gnat bottomed by nature😁 I've found that the bags which house breakfast cereal make fabulous freezer bags [they're also good for separating burgers when you want to freeze them and not have them end up in one big lump]. They're sturdy and keep the contents from going dry. When it comes to securing the top I have some bag ties, but I also keep the ties which come with the coffee bags, bits of stray garden wire, clothes pegs and even cutting the top of the plastic bag and then wrapping it round the neck works. Clingfilm. If I have to wrap something then I use foil and then, as every other thrifty person I know,
Ooo! :)
ReplyDeleteHave searched for places to buy both 'decorative' corn cobs and gourds for decoration but can't find anywhere that sells them dried, only seeds :( May have to take that route for next year but it doesn't help for this one!
I've seen the dark ones before for sale but never the multicoloured ones- half the battle is knowing what they are called! They are all so gorgeous- however, unless I see them dried for sale I won't be growing them!
