    Welcome, Berrycottage! There are some villagers from the UK and I am sure they will be a long soon to say hello.

    OK I AM in the UK welcome to the Village!

    Most of the stuff that is on the site, in regard to saving money is applicable in the UK too

    However, the coupon and freebie thing, well not so much here

    It depends on what you are hoping to achieve/where you want to save etc.

    I can't type too good at the moment ( long story) but I hope to be back to relative normality ie, bad grammer, loads of typos very soon!

    If you have time read back over some of the money saving threads, there is a lot of good stuff in there.

    Hi - I'm new to Frugal Village and I'm in the UK.

    This is my first post, glad i found other people from the UK.

    I've been browsing the forums for a few days and found lots of useful tips, but find some recipe translations from US to UK a bit tricky. I can work out Cups of dried goods (about 16 tblsp), but how to work out a Cup of butter?!?

    If anyone knows any good sites for recipe translations, would love to hear about them.

    Tallulah.

    Hi there everyone from the UK

    I just joined this forum this week and I am originally from the UK. Born in Northampton and then lived in Buckinghamshire, London, moved to Dublin then the South of France and then moved to the US six years ago and looks like I am here to stay.

    I think most things (apart from coupons and rebates) are similar to the UK and will be useful.

    Let me know if you need any translations and I will try to help...
