Frugal Friday - 4th November

One of the most useful tools in my kitchen is my rubber spatula. I've had it a long, long time, it must be 18 years old now, bought in Marks & Spencer in Bournemouth - Bean was in a pushchair then! lol Why do I love it? It gets every last piece of whatever out of the jar/bowl whatever, so is a great tool for true frugality in the waste not want not mode of living. Mine is rubber with a metal handle; I'd like wood, but I suspect it wouldn't have lasted these 18 years if it were, with the  constant washing up. I also ahve one of the very tiny ones - great for jam jars and the like.

My dog swallowed the rubber end off of one of those a few months ago, it has never reappeared!

Not quite the responses I expected, but made me laugh out loud. Just goes to show the versatility of rubber spatulas I suppose................ lol
