Went out for dinner tonight, Korean BBQ. On our way out my kids helped out a server who was carrying too many things, when I was paying the tab.
The owner/manager told me I had a beautiful family and that my kids were super polite.
I nearly broke down crying.
At this point Aussie Frugal Living consists entirely of me. Did I establish dominance and win Best Tightarse, so everyone is now too intimidated to post? Because I am pretty good at it. /j π
Also if you've got frugal food tips/recipes do they go in there or do they go in Food Australia? (ie telling you how to make toasted sandwiches without a jafflemaker, only a frying pan you've already got, or how to turn leftovers into fillings)
Probably aussie frugal but I don't think it matters.
maybe many people who have to live frugally, who are struggling, don't have the time or energy to post on social media much
Fair enough, time is money. But disabled and unemployed exist

Couldn't see your topic til I checked your history. I see now what's happened and why I was mostly the only one there... It looks like there are two separate Aussie Frugal instances?
I've been posting here https://aussie.zone/c/frugal
And your post is in there https://aussie.zone/c/[email protected]
I'd say that I'd simply been posting in the wrong place, it's plausible, but that one also called Aussie Frugal and has an Oz Bargain link in the side π€¨ No wonder there's less activity in each if the members are split.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected]
Good bot
So jealous of these aurora photos. Tried from my place just now with phone and getting nothing. I think thereβs too much light pollution and no view of the horizon because itβs a built up area. Boooo.
Same here, also reluctant to go outside. It'd be cool to live somewhere else and learn a bit of astronomy
Yup and that's why I didn't bother from where I am.
Taken from my backyard using iPhone 3 second exposure. Canβt really see it to the naked eye but insane on camera.
So stoked to see it for myself too. π
Health is still absolutely caning me. Constant pain and not able to keep on top of things. I hate using disposable products... Landfill and paying for stuff that gets literally thrown in the bin... but at the moment it's kind of necessary.
I'm cutting down on that wherever I can but it'd be nice if I had a little countertop dish drawer to run every time I had a full load. It would save water too. Wonder if I could get it funded. I've been budgeting well lately so could perhaps save to get one but vet bills always take priority and it also seems I've got stuck in tightarse mode.
hugs, we do what we can do.
have you been able to go outside and look at the aurora? ππ
Yeah, it just sucks you know.
The pics are pretty but I haven't gone outside. It's a bit fresh tonight, feral neighbours have been screaming and the fuzzball would try to follow me out

omg aurora
I'm too close into the city but I can see the clouds are tinged with pink
Me too. In my area it's too many Mcmansions, boxy townhouses and people who don't care about power bills/the environment with every outside light on. Neighbours on my western side, lookin' at you. Is your gourmet dog afraid to pee in the darkβ½
I have brightly lit up skyscrapers in the way
