Making soap is one of my goals this year, I even have the rose molds. I just need to get to it.<br /> I read the comment above and would love if you had a YouTube channel. I'm in the US but watched your tv segments when you posted the link a while back and I really enjoyed them.<br /> Well done on persevering during this financially challenging time. I'm hoping things will get easier and cheering you along as we continue to save as well.<br />Love, KelseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-17820443326356208032018-02-20T21:10:10.992+11:002018-02-20T21:10:10.992+11:00Congratulations on your new arrival Samantha.

It felt like Christmas each day. With all the frugal tips available on the internet these days, you'll be streets ahead of where I was as a new mum.<br /><br />I'll put some thought into what I can offer people to see if it's viable or interesting enough. I'm even considering You Tube videos on how to make things and demonstrating frugal tips.Wendy Gowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079131126381265901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-72496829480127244272018-02-20T21:04:49.296+11:002018-02-20T21:04:49.296+11:00Thankyou Jo.

Congratulations to the happy couple. I a...Hi Wendy,<br />Congratulations to the happy couple. I am sorry to hear you had to tighten the belt. Remember when you were on ACA and you went into some peoples homes and went shopping with others to help/ show them how to save? I would love this as a service and is something I would pay for (only I am in Sydney) why don't you start up one day a week where people can book an appt with you to come to their home or go shopping with them and show them how and where they could save? You could charge for your appointment/ services. That way you make money and whilst people have to pay they will be shown ways to save in the long run. Just a thought as I think you have a lot to offer. <br /><br />I just had a baby girl 2 weeks ago and I am enjoying being home with her and not going out to spend money. I was so worried about not working however it's funny I am saving over $100 on not using tolls and petrol or buying lunch/ coffee out. I am enjoying the newborn bubble and will be living the frugal life from now on.<br /><br />Enjoy your week. <br /><br />SamanthaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-41146444393473994632018-02-20T07:35:54.042+11:002018-02-20T07:35:54.042+11:00Hello Wendy, Congratulations to Jessica and Eugene...Hello Wendy, Congratulations to Jessica and Eugene.

This costs under $1.00 and we grow some of our own veggies to go with it. Spag bol is dirt cheap for two people. Salad from our garden with a couple of slices of silverside each with a baked potato cost about $1 for the two of us.<br /><br />We don't buy expensive cuts of meat or put huge amounts of meat on our plates so this helps with costs.Wendy Gowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079131126381265901noreply@blogger.com
