    This was a great episode! A real eye opener for some people and in this day and age every penny counts! We use whipping cream to make our own butter - the side benefit is that the left over liquid is butter milk - great for baking!

      Thank you. All i do hope for is to try and show how a few pennies can still be saved, even in this modern fast paced world. I didn't know about whipping cream and butter, but will look into it as it sounds great.

      @@themanofthewoods - here is a link to show how we do it. The woman in this clip is not using a wide mouth mason jar, I would recommend that. Also, leave the whipping cream sit for a half hour when you remove it from the fridge, it speeds the process up.

    I like the way you present everyday life on your channel. Simple and wise, and at the same time it makes you think about what should be important in everyday life, not just the pursuit of money but the simple peace of everyday life and happiness from simple activities. 😁

    The porridge oats is by far, more filling, slow release, cheaper and better for you. From someone that tries to keep on a plant based diet. Nicer smell when cooking with cinnamon. Going to share your you tube to my daughter and granddaughter, they might try your oat squares tomorrow 😊

    Sat out with the horses for the second night after a terrible couple of days when they escaped and were running free.
    My sweet treat for the night, rolled oats, a pinch of salt and a few spoons of sugar, hot water added and stirred ( cocoa powder used for a chocolate drink to go with it).
    Great vid by the way. Take care, stay safe Kev

    My frugal means utilising everything no waist ..sure you understand that,.if i had money saved id rather put into something i can continue it may take more time but yh i think frugal folk its not that they tight its there just logical with aspects included i mean there is no doubt you can make a vastky superiour oat bar in all aspects for less so why wouldnt you...but again as you know the word 'Time' tricks people because time is money and the time needed is often short in reality its more being organised n knowing what your doing...so yh its a ethos not being tight 😂....just my 1 pence 😂 👍🤙
