- Hi Guys, in this video I show you what I've been up to, to help save me money at home. I've finally finished the winter jobs, hung my thermal curtain and put my foil covered cardboard behind the radiators.
I've also prepped all the food I could, from the pantry so it lasts as long as possible, and nothing gets wasted.
Thanks for watching :)

I remember in the 70’s we had no central heating, dad used to get up first and make the coal fire and a big pot of tea. We used to bring our clothes downstairs and get dressed in front of the fire. I used to sleep in a double bed with my 2 sisters and we had a hot water bottle for warmth, there was always ice on the inside of the windows during winter. Guess what? We’re all still alive! Modern society has made us all soft, there are lots of things we can do without, or make do with what we’ve got. Lizzy, you’re an inspiration to many, me included. A tip… after you’ve had a bath, don’t drain the water immediately, the warm water will heat the bathroom up. Love to you all, keep warm. Xxx
This sounds like my childhood too :) thank you 💕
Hahaha I was saying exactly the same the other day. No heating in schools freezing winters ice inside windows itchy blankets on beds. 51 years later I’m still here 😊
I see that you had them in some limes and you were going to slice, & freeze them. Well what we do here at home is we juice them into an ice cube tray and stick it in the freezer. After frozen we put them into a freezer ziplock bag. That way that we could use them to make lemonade or limeade or what ever you might want to use them for. Any time of the year hassle free.
You're an absolute wonderful gardener
Thank you 💕
My frugality holds no bounds..if I run a shallow bath to freshen up..I use the used water..and add a small amount of clothes washing liquid..then add the clothes from washing pile..I proceed to walk on them..till they are thoroughly washed..squeeze dry and transfer to washing machine..use spin mode..then set on rinse and spin..result.. clothes washed in half the time..saving electricity..and of course re-purposing perfectly good warm water..😉
That's a great way to wash ur clothes and reuse water 💕
My heating cost for natural gas went
from $55 equal billing to $93 a month. We’re wearing sweaters but my one guy won’t keep his socks on. Things in Ontario have increased so much. Trying to stretch my meals as much as possible. I get tired of eating the same things but I cook what’s reasonable
Very expensive everywhere at the moment, yes I feel sometimes I would like to be able to eat what I fancy and not what I have to because that's what I can afford. Keep going you're doing great 💕
Make your own sausage rolls for xmas... mix sausages ( removed from the skins) with stuffing and a bit of Cranberry sauce and maybe a bit of bacon. xxx
I've just done this, but without the stuffing. I will try with stuffing next time, as I love sausage rolls xxx💕

Feeling cold is a common symptom of post Covid. I see you wear hooded with pockets and I know you are crafty! I sewed myself small bags of rice with a bit of lavender and keep them in my pockets. They need a couple of seconds in the microwave to warm up. Brilliant video!
That's exactly what I did today, made them a while ago and totally forgot to use them. They kept me toasty and warm while I was going about doing my jobs. Thank you 💕
love the music, the tune, the vibe😊 Had to say this before I watch the rest😘
Thank you 💕
My mom went to the feed store and bought flaxseed. She made a small pillow and put in lavender. I would microwave that pillow before bed. It did make the bed warm.
Great idea using flax seed 💕
If you cut lettuce with a metal knife it will oxidise on the edges. Tearing it or using a plastic knife will prevent that from happening (apparently!)
Yes the ends where I cut turned brown, the rest was fine though 💕
Also store lettuce in a ziploc storage bag and as you zip it close, squeeze the air out of bag. It will look shrinked wrapped. I do this and my lettuce will last for a month. Air is its enemy.
I wrap lettuce in kitchen paper or a serviette before I put it into the ziplock bag this prevents it sweating.
Thanks for thr heads up o the peanuts love them .I saw a lady other day wrapping sausages with her streaky bacon and freezing g them for Xmas she then made stuffing balls with stuffing sausage meat added cranberry froze it In big batches and bread sauce. Gravy even did her potato's head of time to nearly cooked then put in goose fat and froze .so I'm in festive mode and going to prep early and also the sausage rolls sound yum x
Yes I'm going to prep early to, did start filming yesterday but had a disaster so I will try again today 💕
❤️You always make me happy❤️Thankyou 💖
Thank you 💕💕💕
You look a lot better today , sorry your son was ill hope he feels better soon . I was going to do that what you did with your cabbage . Still want some of those gloves . God bless you your son , and your dad .
Thank you 💕
Hello 🤗 Have you tried thermal layers (clothing)? Tesco do some great thermal long sleeved tops, and matching and leggings that you can wear under your usual clothes. They're not expensive either. I bought men small size when I got mine, as they were on sale x
They are on my Christmas list 💕x
You are such a fabulous person ❤❤❤
Thank you 💕
Hi, Lizzy I know that cold feeling well😞 ever since I contracted Lyme disease about 15 yrs ago, As soon as I sit still I’m cold from the inside out. Just finished sewing liners for drapes today; now to get them ready to hang tomorrow. We had our first snow, it was beautiful, but all melted now. Take care. from: Susan
I'm hypothyroid so I get cold like that too. It makes it harder to get and stay warm on budget
It's horrible isn't it, snow is beautiful as long as it doesn't stay too long. Thanks for watching, take care Susan 💕
Oh gosh, I bet it does. Sending lots of warm hugs 💕
@@frugallizzybee Actually Lizzy I love snow and the more the better! We had a brief snow shower at supper time, but it, too, will soon disappear. Poor me 😢 A good evening for a bit of knitting. S.
@@peterleprevost2154 It's worse when it's too cold to snow.
Unplug kettle til actually need it
Great thank you, I have stated unplugging things hopefully it will become a good habit and I will automatically start doing it 💕
Love watching your videos, take care xxx
Thanks for watching xxx💕
I was seriously ill in intensive care with Covid last September (2021) and over a year later I am still suffering side effects...one of them is my temperature. I can be on fire 1 minute and the next minute I'm freezing ....exhaustion is a major issue following covid ....so I would say how you're feeling is normal post covid .... hopefully you will be back to normal soon x
I'm sorry u were so poorly, its nice to know that it is covid side effects though and that it's normal. Thank you 💕x
You often talk about the food your son takes to school. I was wondering what you use to keep certain food items warm in his lunchbox? I found it difficult keeping cocktail sausages warm let alone curry etc. Thank you in advance for your comment xx
Perhaps a food thermos
Yes I use a thermos food flask, I also have a SHO one for him too. Pour boiling water in it for 10 min, add ur hot food and it keeps it warm for up to 6 hrs 💕
Snuggle a hot water bottle Lizzy xxxx
Great idea, thank you xx💕
Another fantastic vlog, you have given me some great ideas and tips, so glad i found your channel❤ 1:31
Thank you 💕
Lizzy, what is cabbage like frozen?
I boil it till its really well done, so u can't really tell its been frozen, but if you like it a little less cooked I think it has a rubbery texture 💕
If you blanch it before freezing, it keeps well, and then only needs a few minutes to cook. To blanch veggies, boil up some water in a pan and then add the veggies. Let it come back to the boil, then scoop out the veggies and dunk them for a couple of minutes in really cold water. Drain well, and then freeze them.
How do I find your things on Etsy please X

We once tried the idea of leaving your heating on low all the time and it cost us hundreds. And that was before these awful prices. Please don’t try it.
Thank you, I'm just putting it on when I need it 💕
I can never keep my lettuce fresh no matter what I do
Mine went a bit brown where I cut it with a knife, but the rest of it stayed good for a few days with the wet kitchen paper in it 💕
