I can’t believe it’s October already! I’m starting to hear the Christmas word but I am really not ready for it ….!
Last week’s Thrifty Finds included:
1. I went shopping at the local greengrocers and used my reusable Onya bags. I’d forgotten that this grocers has a loyalty card scheme so was able to earn a few stamps 🙂
2. Talking of loyalty cards, I did download the Caffè Nero loyalty app for my weekly latte treat .But it only gives one ‘stamp’ per coffee – whereas I always get two stamps on my paper card for bringing in a reusable cup. I know I should use the paper free version but I like getting my two stamps!
4. My collapsible Stojo coffee cup (as above) has proved so handy that I’ve ordered two for friends’ birthdays these month.
5. Finally I was given a huge haul of tomatoes from a friend who had a glut of them at her allotment. I plan to turn them into roast tomato soup to take to work (working in the centre of Bath means there are 101 lunch places so bringing in my own lunch helps with the purse.)
Do you take lunch to work, and if so, is it sandwiches or leftovers?
Oh yes, I take lunch to work. Generally, I cook enough to have for lunch what I ate for my evening meal the day before. I wonder how much money I’ve saved over the years.
Anyway, I’m thinking about getting some Onya bags for my vegetable shopping as well.
That’s such a good idea about taking leftovers for lunch. I try to do that, but with five of us to feed there’s not always enough left. I really recommend Onya bags, or a similar make.
It’s not really leftovers but rather an extra portion, so there is always some left after our evening meal. With five of you, though, I can see it might just not make it till the next day!
