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,
Pretty flowers

Thank you. They were lovely to see. Arilx
DeleteI too would rather have flowers in my hair than diamonds around my neck!We have also been taking a walk around a local church yard.While admiring the lovely wild flowers,I was heartbroken to see that the council have taken any little windmills and teddys off the childrens graves.A notice was put up,saying that all the toys and little trickets were in a big rubber bin and could the parents collect them from there as they are not allowed.I cannot see what harm they were doing and it must be heart breaking for the parents to see the small toy they had bought for their babies grave just discarded like this.Now it is just barren land with small name plaques.I felt heartbroken for them,xx
ReplyDeleteI understand where you're coming from. Sometimes the graveyards have rules that say you can only leave things that naturally biodegrade. It's a difficult one. Arilx
DeleteThere's a large, historic cemetery near me that has similar restrictions on what items can be placed on graves; however, during the weeks before and after Memorial Day, almost anything is allowed. There is a special section for infants in one corner, where the toys and trinkets remain undisturbed. This is also where a charity group periodically holds funerals for unclaimed stillborns. One thinks well of the current management -- and with relief, since friends and family are resting here.
