yogurt is my favorite. my kids go through 1kg minimum a week. i make a nice greek yogurt for around 1.40 a kg and it takes around 5min max.love it

I’m a bit hit and miss with my DIY’s but when i have the time i make moisturiser, deodorant, bath bombs, toilet bombs, bin fresheners, bread, chicken broth, healthy (no sugar) baked goods like chickpea cookies and eggplant brownies. I also love to bake naughty delights – but limit that to only occasionally.

I do a lot of cooking from scratch. I used to have a vegetable garden but gave it up because a lot of things didn’t grow well and I was disheartened.

I love making my own vegetable stock, it is delicious and very health. I use it for almost everything I cook.

I have a friend who makes her own lollies (jubes) from scratch and also laundry detergent.

I’ve just crocheted my daughter a scarf with a ball of yarn that cost me $2.49 at Lincraft. Its lovely and saved her the $40 a similar one was on sale for in Myers.

I have also started doing lots of DIY and home repairs; huge savings.

Jewelery. I’ve been making earrings, braclets and ankles. Hoping to sell it all.

Bake bread, biscuits and cakes; make own meals(take away is so expensive), home made gifts, cards, beauty products and cleaning products, soft furnishings; cushions and other easy projects; vegies in the garden(saves a lot of money). The list goes on…but I have a go at doing and making most things. I also; buy presents that have been made by other Mom’s as I like to support other Mom’s.

also flower arrangements, paper, compost, and wall art

biscuits, baking, cooking, art, gifts

Knitting is always a good option!!

All meals, we rarely have takeaways. Biscuits, cakes, muffins.

Biscuits, muffins and nut and seed bars. That way we get healthier treats because we know whats in them and we save money too. I can make a batch of muffins for the cost of one from a cafe. Recently started experimenting with home made chocolate spread using nuts, cocoa, vanilla and a bit of sugar. Not necessarily cheaper cos nuts are expensive, but no additives either.

cakes and biscuits and slices are great made from scratch too

I have to admit something’s are actually cheaper to buy pre made. But if your keen try bread, of course cakes and biscuits , what about perfume using essential oils

cleaning products from vinegar and baking soda are very popular in home made things
