Weekly letter from Darren

Cut the power bill and stop the fridge running your money down

A weekly letter of old bush and goldfields know-how: keep food from spoiling, run the fridge less, and take the sting out of the grocery shop.

What lands in your inbox

Built to use this week, not to file away.

1 Less fridge, lower power bill

Old cooling ways that keep food good while the meter turns slower.

2 Food that lasts past shopping day

Bottling, salting, drying and curing so the grocery shop stretches further each week.

3 Works in a rented flat

No land, no building, no dear gear — one windowsill and a cupboard.

A real issue

See what you get before you pay a cent.

No smoke: the full guide, the exact steps, the fix — every week.

The Coolgardie Safe: Cold Food While the Fridge Sits Idle

Build a Coolgardie safe from a crate, hessian and a water tray, then shift the day's food into it and let the fridge — and your power bill — take the night off.

The rest — the part that makes it click — is for members.
Why it's worth $9.90/mo

One good week pays for a month. This saves you many.

You're not paying for 'content' (that's everywhere and half-wrong). You're paying for the tested way, the exact steps, every week. Reply to any letter.

“I used to lie awake listening to the fridge and thinking about the power bill. Now the veg sits in the safe out the back, and the bill came back looking like something I could actually pay.”

“The grocery shop was beating us, and half of it went soft before we ate it. Bottling and salting of a Sunday changed that, and the fridge isn't running all night for nothing anymore.”

No contract, no calls, no spam. Your first issue lands this week. If it's not for you, you leave and lose nothing.

Fair questions
Will any of this work if I rent and have no yard?

Yes. It is all built for a flat or a rented house: a cupboard, a windowsill, a bucket, a bit of hessian. No building work, no landlord permission, no dear equipment.

Is it safe to keep eggs and veg without the fridge?

These are the household methods your grandparents used, set out step by step, so you know how to prepare it, how to store it, and how to tell when something should be thrown out.

Isn't this on the internet for free?

Bits of it, scattered and half-wrong. Here it's tested, start to finish, with the exact steps — and a fresh one every week.

I'm not as young as I was — is it hard?

No. Plain steps, big print, one a week. Nothing fancy, the way it's always been done.
