Sunday brunch this morning: sweetcorn fritters. I' Sunday brunch this morning: sweetcorn fritters. I'm loving our new $39 mulri-snack maker from @kmartaus I wanted to buy a waffle maker for my son's birthday. He really loves waffles and we wanted a square design. After researching I decided on the Kmart one as, with four plates (waffle, pancake, donuts and panini) it seemed like good value (it is). Its really easy to change the plates - and as they are removable, they can easily go in the dishwasher. Plus multiuse means less storage space for a small kitchen, and it uses less energy for cooking than a stove. What I'm really loving is the pancake plates. Usually, I find myself turning the stove temperature up and down - none of the settings are just right for making pancakes. But this appliance has just the right temperature. Plus I can set and forget and focus on doing the dishes while cooking:) This is my recipe for frugal sweetcorn fritters 1/3 cup milk powder 1/2 cup wholemeal SR flour 1/2 cup plain SR flour 1 egg 1 cup of water 1 cup fresh corn kernals 1 tablespoon spring onions (chopped) Salt and pepper Mix the flour and milk powder in a bowl. Make a well and crack in the egg. Gradually add in the water while stirring. Stir in the corn kernels and spring onions and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for around 30 minutes. Heat and grease the pancake maker. Add three generous tablespoons. Cook for seven minutes. Note: this is my independent views and it is not a sponsored post. I do not have a commercial relationship with Kmart - just like this product. #thejoyfulfrugalista #frugal #frugalliving #frugallife #onehundreddollarchallenge #sweetcorn #sweetcornfritters

A recent @costco_aus shop on our $100/week challen A recent @costco_aus shop on our $100/week challenge. Things we spent up on included steak, beef mince, garbage bags, pressed tofu, a bottle of Prosecco (on sale), flour and UHT milk. My boys wanted steak for dinner, which prompted the shop:) This haul cost around $235, and required me to dip into my kitty. But even so, I currently have $410.70 in the kitty so could afford to buy a bit more. What do you buy at Costco? #thejoyfulfrugalista #frugal #frugalliving #frugallife #onehundreddollarchallenge #groceryshopping
