Your wristlets are beautiful and I am sure the recipients will be very pleased. I love pasta too, and typically have spaghetti and meat sauce or meat balls,<br />then with the leftovers I can usually make 2 spaghetti pies, sometimes I give one away if the opportunity presents itself. They are super easy and taste quite good.<br />Hubby as saved us a ton of money in the last few weeks with all the repairs we had to have done after the lightning strike, and saved my SIL Susan quite a bit monthly by<br />putting an antenna on her TV rather than cable, and she gets all the stations she<br />previously watched............<br />I always save on buy one get one free deals at our Publix supermarket too. Now you have me thinking............lol<br /><br />Well, you have a delightful day hon,<br />Blessings, NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-21202379226728907462015-08-10T22:17:04.515+10:002015-08-10T22:17:04.515+10:00Mimi, those wristlets are just amazing.

When I was at the Sunshine Coast a couple of years back a jewellery shop had been flooded after something happened in the shop next door and some of the gorgeous and expensive necklaces were being sold for $3!!! I bought two. You made some great savings last week.

I used the black tulle you gifted me a while back. I just knew the right idea would come along for that. The soup mix is cute, and the Risotto brew even more so. The instructions on the Risotto specify chicken stock and white wine, so I'd be tempted to gift those along with it in a pretty basket. I would love to receive that as a gift. There truly is no end of ideas out there once you start looking. I know that you sausage rolls would be at least around the $3 mark each to buy (and nowhere near as nice), so just that total alone is staggering. We're worth more than rubies, for sure...lol! I hope your family are all blooming....Love Mimi xxxMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189100084557458199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-66519055931308063762015-08-10T13:20:06.675+10:002015-08-10T13:20:06.675+10:00Hi Jo.

You separate the pasta (that's why it's on top), soak the rest overnight, rinse, then simmer with stock and/or wine, adding the pasta in the last half hour. What appears to be peas and corn, is just commercial 'soup mix'...or at least that's what I used. It's certainly a cute idea for a non-cook type :) Mimi Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189100084557458199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-50394586160425086202015-08-10T13:16:50.392+10:002015-08-10T13:16:50.392+10:00They're addictive Patsi!

I have a lot of tall thin jars that would be suitable for this... thanks for taking a photo of that idea. A photo is so good to explain it!<br />The chicken bargain was fabulous. SO much you can do with cooked chook. What a bargain. <br />The savings are staggering. I added up the value of sausage rolls I made on the weekend... its all mind boggling. I wish everyone knew how much their work at home is worth. Worth more than rubies is what I say!<br />Have a good week, Love Annabel.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-28593433838664830132015-08-10T13:13:48.642+10:002015-08-10T13:13:48.642+10:00So I'm trying to work out how those minestrone...So I'm trying to work out how those minestrone brews would work - I mean really, you have to soak those beans for 24hrs before cooking, but not the pasta obviously, so you must have to separate those ingredients.. and did I see dried peas and corn? To be honest, I don't think it would be anywhere near as appetising as my usual minestrone, but it seems like a good idea for a gift, but needs some tweaking.. did you read the instructions for it?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-14799431580325957932015-08-10T12:26:53.544+10:002015-08-10T12:26:53.544+10:00Your Salted Caramel Yoghurt Parfaits sound delicio...Your Salted Caramel Yoghurt Parfaits sound delicious.
