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,
I have not seen an actual one, they are great.

we are lucky enough to have one in our local town, unfortunately the gold that was used looks a little more like mustard than olympian gold!
ReplyDeleteThere is one in Sherborne (Dorset) but I've not seen any others. We used to live near Alton but moved down this way 18 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThat was the other one I've seen!
