About me:
welcome to my penny pinching pantry :)
This is my favourite selection of frugal, old fashioned recipes. please feel free to comment and add to them. I am a huge Nigella Lawson fan and there are loads of her recipes featured here, mostly they are from her latest series, Nigella Express.
I live and work in North Yorkshire. I am married and have two boys, (11 & 23) and a fab black labrador, who is the total baby of the family!
If you enjoy this site add me to your blogroll or your favourites.

Hi Victoria,
I am glad you like my blog, it has become a bit of an obbession, really!
I found out about menu planning on an uk forum, moneyaving expert, old stlye forum. I will send you the link. The people on there are really friendly and we try to inspire each other as much as possible. Jane who posts on here, is also an old stlyer!
I have saved loads of money, since I started using the old style tips and menu planning advice.
Most of my menu planning and tips are on this site , under menu planning in blue letters down at the bottom of the page, just click the link, to see the posts.
hope this helps?? you can copy my menu plans from this blog to help you get started xxxx
