and, if you compost, instead of buying the stuff to get it going you need to get a man to pee on it, honest! Only male pee works

If this works for Compost, I wonder if it would work for e-juice mixes.

We could put Vape Wizard out of business overnight!!

My frugality got me vaping...

Now a few trips for the frugal vaper...

(1) - Don't buy any mod more than £20...they don't last even if they are £50....
(2) - Mix ya own
(3) - get good recommended batteries from china (learn to love postie stalking )
(4) - get a good cheap rebuildable clone from china and love it...again no more than $20 or $30 and stock up on bits for it

Now my 'normal' frugal tips

Join Moneysavingexpert (not least the payment a day thread...they are lovely) and look up a snowball calculator for debts. Avoid any stop smoking thingies on there they don't like e-cigs and think we're all trolls and are paranoid about us (not that we are trolls but I've argued the point till I'm blue in the face and it's just not worth it)

Don't join the frugal living thread on there..they spend more on their pets than they do themselves and make ridiculous demands of you

But even if you get the weekly email that'll help

Ask them for advice (MSE) before buying white goods...saves in the long term

Develop a love of spreadsheets (MSE can tell you where to get free office software) and online banking......Monitor it like your life depends on it

Don't get any more debt and get rid of credit cards asap....

Hope that helps

By the way re bread. You can do your own no kneed recipe. I have one that I did over the weekend but hashed the oven temp so not putting it on here. Plus it was out of a book. But google it. Have a frugal friend - also a vaper - who spends the whole weekend making about 2 loaves of bread or whatever she needs for the week using the no kneed method
