We all know how much I adore wacky frugal tips – probably the only good thing about the impending economic doom is the inevitable increase in frugal tips on the internets.

Yesterday, I found something which could usurp my favourite frugal tips of all time: ask God where to cut back and water down your milk (your kids will never know the difference).

You know when you see DIY self-tanning lotion that awesome will surely follow.

And it did not disappoint.

Ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon white unscented lotion

and … (wait for it) …

• 1 tablespoon pure cocoa powder

Hilarity ensues.

Actually, I’d recommend adding milo for a more crunchy tan.
