Thrifty Jack with the food ring pulls..come on! Yesterday we had tin can opener poverty and also established that food ring pulls are the tins the better off can afford, because more expensive (conspiracy!) and now we are supposed to put them on coat hangers. The clothes are taking up space in the wardrobe anyway, because they are...in the wardrobe... no matter how they are aligned. I can't remember one of those 'hacks' has ever brought any value to my life. The best (worst) one I have ever seen was to put a toilet brush (unused but still ) on a drill and then switch it on and hold it in a bucket of water (very safe) with potatoes which are then peeled.Does anyone use bath salts any more? My aunty used to give me some rose bath cubes every year, despite the fact I was a preteen and also allergic to them.
The cat food ring pulls are from Gourmet Pearl which is 52p for an 85g tin from Asda (£6.12 per kg) while the bog standard Felix I use is 40 * 100g pouches for £9 (£2.25 per kilo).
My moggy eats 2-3 sachets of food a day plus a small amount of dry. Even 2 tins of Pearl would cost £1.04 a day which is more than she would spend a day feeding 3 people for £20.
How many ring pulls can a woman need? There's over 700 a year from the cat food alone!
Stop the hacks!!!
