We are now on half term so I imagine this week will be full of Halloween preparations. This is my Thrifty Finds for last week:
- I didn’t buy a magazine! I came across the Breathe Christmas Special and it seemed to have so many good articles on how to have a mindful Christmas and alternative gift giving. .However at £7.99 I just couldn’t justify the cost.
- I did, however, pick up a couple of free magazines this week: The Boots Health & Beauty magazine which is free to card holders, and a copy of a food magazine that had been left in the kitchen at work.
- We received an extra pack of waffles in our Sainsbury’s delivery.
- I was also given three free pumpkins from a friend who grows them on her allotment. Every year she distributes them, in exchange for a donation to Diabetes UK (both of her sons have Type 1 Diabetes)
5. The girls have already carved their pumpkins, in preparation for Wednesday night. I saved the seeds and roasted them with soy sauce to make a really tasty – and moreish – snack.
Hope you had a good week and – if you mark Halloween – a fun evening!
Do you peel the pumpkin seeds? I tried roasting them once without doing so and it went horribly wrong. However, peeling them is so fiddly!
Actually I don’t. It means they’re very crunchy but I think they taste ok!
If you cook them straight away, I imagine the skins are still soft.
