But only a slight one – I promise…
So there already exists the “Who is behind TheThriftyDieter” posts – Part 1; Part 2; and Part 3. Part 4 is somewhere in the works but I figured – I’d just jump ahead a few years and put up this slide show.
Disclaimer – this is actually a year old and not a recent work. I did intend to upload this earlier but it never quite felt like the right time till now.

Why now? What “Site News”?
Those two questions are linked. If you follow the Facebook page – I’ve already posted that I’m going to take things in a different direction. I’ll admit – I’ve struggled finding new and/or original takes on recipes. I have to be thrifty with the money and so I don’t necessarily have funds to experiment with creating new recipes (which could take multiple attempts and the costs associated each time).
The Competition:
I also am simply outdone by the many sites out there offering recipes for Slimming World friendly meals (albeit not always with tight budgets in mind). Sites such as:
(I’ve highlighted a few of these sites before on my “Favourite Recipes from around the net” post).
- http://www.slimmingeats.com
- http://www.pinchofnom.com
- http://twochubbycubs.com/ (These guys do have to come with a warning – may not be safe to view at work)
- http://fopperholic.com/
- https://whatjessicaeats.wordpress.com/
- https://fatgirlskinny.net/
- And goodness knows how many more you can find via a simple google search.
So you said “Why now? What “Site News”?”
So – I got a little ahead of myself. Sorry. So as per the above, I’m moving away from recipes. That’s not to say I won’t be doing some from time to time but I just can’t compete with the big well know blogs like some of the ones above. Plus I feel I’ve moved away from “Thrift” being the focus.
The YouTube video above is a taster of what is to come. I’m going to be making more videos on things I do in the house to cut costs, make things go further, and such forth. There will still be the journey posts, and the rant/musings. I won’t be taking you on video trips around the supermarkets though. 🙂 But I may start doing the “bargain” updates again (Let me know in the comments if you want to see those – and would you want them on the Facebook page or as posts on here?).
