Useful Tips In Lockdown...

[Chipchopper]

Anyone have any handy tips during lockdown, things that may limit the need to go out for supplies would be appreciated.

I'll start the ball rolling.

Surplus milk that you may find in your cereal bowl, once finished. Save that for your tea or coffee.

I drink it

[Hopkirk]

I put a bit more cereal in.

[emmie]

i don't drink milk, nor eat cereal...
i can't think of any handy tips, except i give the birds some leftover bread....

[Chipchopper]

I would think that adding that drop of milk to a hot drink is drinking it.

Stock up with food that lasts longer to save going out so often, ie frozen, canned, pasta etc.

So you get lumps of muesli and Shredded Wheat floating in your tea?

[Chipchopper]

Only minimal, but straining it might be an option.

[Hopkirk]

How about using stale bread to make bread and butter pudding? Yum yum.

[emmie]

stale or going bread is given to the birds, i don't buy seeds as don't have a garden -

If you're decorating your home while in lockdown; when cleaning glossing brushes with white spirits, save the spirits to thin the gloss down. I've seen people wash their brushes, discard the spirits then use fresh spirits to thin paint down.

You could, of course, drink it if you're that way inclined :-))

Stale bread - blitz into breadcrumbs and freeze

[Vagus]

White spirit..no.
Gin..yes. Drink plenty of it in lockdown and you won’t care how long lockdown lasts ;)

[emmie]

no mine goes to the birdies, perhaps next time i will buy some seeds... and mix it up a bit.

[emmie]

bread that is not gin...

[bednobs]

im not entirely sure if this post is apee take or not. Bleugh to cereal milk in tea. My tip for making sure you don't need to go out as often is buy more milk in the first place so you don't have to do the vile thing you are suggesting :)
Or, get a milkwoman

Lighten up - it's not WW3. It will all be over by Xmas!

[ummmm]

That sounds gross.

I freeze milk.

Maybe you should get a bigger freezer :-)

Get it delivered (it's not rocket science)
