Our New Life in the Country: Freebies

Freebies

I don't know if any of you have been collecting the Lurpak butter codes and entering them in the website. But it was well worth it, I managed to get a total of three freebies with my codes.

A pair of blue oven gloves, a really good quality brownie tin, something I was short of as I have never had a square tin always making do with my other tins, and therefore not quite getting the right thickness on my brownies or flapjacks.

And this rather dinky kitchen timer. I love its little note telling me to wipe it clean with a damp cloth and not immerse it fully in water as 'it's not a good swimmer'.

I love it when companies take the time to make you smile.

Lovely little haul, all things that you will use frequently often these "give away" promotions are a little disappointing . One of my favourite sayings is, Cheap is good, Free is better, but only if you want the item.

Hi Sue, I love freebies, I have to admit I have never tried Lurpak, I collect rewards with a few products I buy regularly which are, PG Tips, Kenco, and Just Rol Pastry. I actually saw those tins in Tesco back along there was a promotion for the tin and 2 packs of butter I think it was £4.99.

I didn't realise you could collect butter codes. However, I bought some of their double packs a few months back that came with an enamel oven dish. The dishes are ridiculously good quality considering they were free!

Love freebies but unfortunately we don't have many over here. I have only picked up mugs but nothing for butter.

Oh - lucky you :) How much butter did you have to buy to score that many freebies? :)

There seems to be a lot of this sort of deal on at the moment. One housemate got a free teapot, after collecting coupons from PG Tips. And another housemate got a free DVD after collecting points from her Disney DVDs. It's worth looking out for them if it's something you buy anyways :)

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

Sue xx
