Over 12 posts, I'll share what I've learned the HARD way.

• What's actually cheaper to make vs buy
• how to batch cook and freeze like a pro
• Which plants are worth growing in pots and patios (and which aren't)
• where to shop - aldi, asia shops, wholesalers, markets - to actually Save
• How to stretch a sunday roast into three meals.
• Why joy projects (like jam and chutney) matter just as much as penny pinching!

It's thrify, it's messy, it's full of humour and it's rooted in the chaos of real life, not a fantasy small holding.

So grab a cuppa and come along. We're about to find out what's truly worth the apron time... and what belongs back on aldi's shelves.
