Items I Stock Up On For Winter & Why / Money Saving | Frugal Living

Items I stock up on for Winter and why
I like to have a couple of months during the year where I don't have to spend on certain household items like toothpaste and toilet rolls.
Being able to save on essential items throughout the year means I have more money available during the Winter months to help with costs like heating and electricity or just a little extra to spend on Christmas presents.

This was brilliant Heather, loving your ideas, and I'm with you Heather, I don't buy a lot of cleaning products either and I don't actually use laundry softener I just use a bit of vinegar on occasion. I love your idea about a freezer slot for Christmas produce. I do similar, I have already started buying my Christmas hamper items. ie cracker biscuits, chocolates, and chocolates for baking goods, cheeses and dips in the fridge that have a next year expiry date and things like that. Saves my buying when everything is marked up for Christmas December.

Fantastic - I use white vinegar on the washing too. It stops the machine going mouldy and if wet clothes have been left around it helps them not go mouldy as well. I'm a bit behind on the food shop at the moment but I need to make some room first lols.

we go blackberry picking and stock up on them and put them in zip lock bags in the freezer, we also pick sloes, lidl does 35 cans of peaches, otherwise we stock up on frozen fruit

I love a bit of blackberry picking. I started growing them a couple of years ago which is fantastic. I want to grow more fruit and veggies they taste better and it all helps to keep costs down 😊
