    When I was a child small towns didn’t have self service shops until the 60’s, old grocery shops had large slabs of butter which the assistant would extract lumps of using butter pats to Pat the butter into the weight required, it was quite a talent.

    OH,Sean, That water bill is far to much.
    As you know I live alone, in Wales. I have a water meter. And you can request one even if you share a pipe, any way I hate to see you ripped off.
    My water bill for the Year is £246. With a water meter, you would save so much. Ask your landlord and Dwr Cymru. A water meter will save you loads . Dear Sean, please look into it. The money is better in your pocket than theirs.
    Iceland Fishfingers, in boxes of 10 ,they cost,£1, and are really nice.
    I always take a bag with me when I go shopping, so I never buy another one, save a few pence.
    Love your videos really do.
    Just saw you putting up the Rhyl fridge magnet. Glad you received it 😊
    With love Sandra. Rhyl. 🎉🎉

    Sean, may I make a suggestion. When it comes to your fruit and vegs. If the grocery store keeps the fruit and vegs in non refrigeration. You should be able to keep them on the shelf. Once you cut up some fruit, then you can put it the fridge if needed.same for your drinks. I would use the grocery store as a guideline for storing your groceries.

    I am amazed at how you filled your small fridge. Wish you could buy a larger fridge and keep it in the spare room. It will really cut down on your frequent trips to the store. It would have an extra freezer compartment for you too. We buy in bulk all the time and there is only the two of us now- empty nesters. But I look for sales and then fill up my dry goods cupboard and freezer. Really helps the budget. Also as the summer progresses I fill up my freezer with all my garden veg…..peas, carrots, beans, zucchini,beets , tomatoes etc. I have already filled 8 freezer bags with the first growth of my rhubarb. Soon you will be doing the same from your wonderful homestead. Looking forward to seeing your shed. A great addition. Have a good week. Take care.

You do ned nother freezer, Sean, but what about a cool box. We took one when camping. We either used ice packs, or bottle of frozen water. Bucket of cold water for your drinks. I wash up once a day, saves washing up liquid and water! I put them away the following morning when they are normally dry.

      @@susanxa8158 Refrigerators might be a bit more efficient when full as well. Due to the thermal mass of a full refrigerator it will not need to cycle on as often, but when it does cycle on air flow is impeded and it may need to run longer. But, when you open a full refrigerator, not as much air will escape it and be replaced with warm air that needs cooling.

    Another lovely video. I think you may need to buy yourself a bigger freezer even if you have to keep it in a different room to the kitchen, for example the extra bread you bought etc could have been frozen down until you needed it. Also I don't think those drinks need to be chilled constantly, they would be ok just chilling them a few hours before you know your going to drink them. Just love the way you were so honest about not knowing anyone you know that you would want to go around the world with etc, think secretly most people would say the same if they were being quite honest. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛💐

    Hello Sean...I am the OCD person who comments!...and I have an idea...clear everything out of the cutch (cellar head is what it is called where I am from), I dont think your cabinet would fit there, but if it will...maybe consider having it there. If it doesnt then get a smaller container/cabinet/ shelf set or even just a veg rack and place that in the cutch. All your fruit and veg could then be stored in the cool of that cubby hole...that's assuming it is cool in there!! Just my musings Sean...feel free to ignore me!

    Hi Sean, your water bill seems excessive to me at almost £67 pcm - I pay £26 (water meter) my house roughly same size as yours, I have a large garden that takes a lot of watering and I too live in wales so imagine it’s the same water company. Do contest that bill just in case they’ve included arrears from the last tenant. You really do need a larger fridge/freezer or a separate freezer for all those veggies you’re going to be growing. Maybe that brilliant store Too Good to Waste has a decent one 👍🏻😀

The only thing I missed was not being able to have ice cream. So, what did do? I made it a special treat to go to the ice cream parlor. Just over 3 years ago, I was finely able to purchase what we call an “apartment” size fridge with a tiny freezer not much bigger then your freezer. And you know what? I got so use to having the small “bar fridge”that the one I have now always appears half empty! LOL

    A little tip i picked up from facebook pod is tgat, if vegitables you buy are not frozen in the supermarket keep them out of fridge at home. Put in a cool dark place (under stairs perhaps?). Apparently with some veg the cool of the fridge damages tgem so tip is...
    Take from any plastic packaging, put in cool dark place to let them breath naturally and keep fridge for products it tells you to put in fridge.

    Suggestion: Write a plan for your meals for a few days at a time: breakfast, lunch, supper. Place it on your fridge with a magnet. It will help you plan how much you will need for the week. We (two of us--seniors) also keep a list of what is in the freezer. It helps to write the date on your list when you place in the freezer.
    I am thinking you may be able to save money by trying this.

    You can get a little fridge thermometer (I have one in my fridge) which will tell you if your fridge is at the right temperature, as it will change when you put more/less food in - very useful I find! I too follow the wonderful Stephanie on You Tube! I too have tried the sour dough, but do not like it, hope that you enjoy yours, as it looked lovely. I only have a small under counter fridge, with a little freezer compartment in the top, but I do have an under counter freezer, which is very useful I find. You are really good, keeping up with the washing/drying up, and keeping your kitchen clean and tidy. xxx

    If you have to make choices for the fridge I would take some of the fresh produce - Broccoli/ spinach out and possibly store them in a paper bag and in a cool area of the house. I agree with the person who suggested a larger freezer when funds allow and possibly put it under your stairs if you have a power source or in a bedroom?? 😊

    Don't you buy too much food? I buy vegetables (and a few more things) once a week and at the end of that week I ate all of it.
    Not having milk gives me more space in the fridge, I only eat yogarde (organic kind of yoghurt) or quark (soft cheese) with my muesli. When I drink 'tea' (herbal or rooibos) it is without milk.

    The whole sunlight thing is so screwy in those places. Took a few days with the ex up in Alaska and remember sitting in the hotel hot tub at 11:15 at night and it was like the middle of the afternoon outside. That would just mess me up if I lived there! I do have a membership at a local warehouse store and there are things I definitely buy in bulk. Saves money for sure. I buy bulk chicken breast, for instance, and part them out to put into the freezer so I have several days worth. Just a matter of developing a weekly meal plan so I know what to thaw out for the week.

    My favorite snack is sourdough toast and honey with a cup of tea. If you could obtain a crate like the delivery person has, just switch the full crate for the empty one with each delivery. Also, I know you lack the space for a full size fridge but an under cupboard cooler to contain your fruit and veg would save them from getting squished in that tiny fridge. (Or another tiny fridge/freezer in the other room?) Good luck with the shed!

    Kumbucha doesnt need to be chilled, but it is nicer to drink cold.I make my own kumbucha, and flavor it from the juice of the fruits I canned, you can also use frozen fruit, that you can cook down, to release their juice . It seems complicated to make, but it is sooooo easy ! Black loose leaf tea, water , sugar and a Scoby. Scoby doubles in size at every batch, so it's a " buy once" and have it forever type thing .

    Hi Sean,
    I think we all do things the way our parents and our grandparents did, I'm the same... always have had full cupboards, fridge and freezer, you are always ok if an unexpected bill happens.
    Be careful when putting things on top of the fridge as sometimes it stops the fridge/freezer closing properly, I learned the hard way with a defrost 🙃
    A few years ago we had a terrible water contamination where I live, it was bottled or boil situation. Anyway ever since then our water has been rank!
    Its bleachy when cold and smells disgusting in hot drinks. I called them out to take water samples, the guy that turned up said its peoples imagination since the contamination, I said the fish in the tank must have vivid imaginations then as a few jumped out and the rest of them ended up with black scales when we did a water change!
    Anyway we got a letter saying its safe to drink 🤔
    I use a filter jug now for all of it... I can't stand to drink straight from the tap anymore.
    Your water bill seems very high Sean!
    I pay £ 36.99 a month, I'm not on a meter. Its just gone up £3 a month.
    Perhaps check that out, ask your neighbours what they pay maybe? The amount of mistakes that get made by the utilities is unbelievable! Everything seems to have gone to pot since covid.
    The Rusty homestead is coming together nicely now...
    The shed will make a huge difference!
    Take care Sean.
