Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) If you saw my Pre-Loved Bargains post last Sunday then you'll already know about this one so feel free to skip to number 2. 😂 Basically I bought a dress for £3.95 with the intention of selling it on as it was a Jacques Vert dress that still had the tags on showing a price of £159 so I was confident that I could make a cheeky profit on … [Read more...]
Homemade Halloween Puzzles for your little ones…
It's been a long time since my two were little enough to want to do puzzles and jigsaws with me but when I saw these Halloween puzzles I knew they'd be perfect for some of you who have little ones.I've got three super cute Halloween puzzles for you today that I think will be suitable for around ages 3-5 if my memory of little children's hands and minds serves me rightly.

10 Foods you didn’t know you could freeze….
You probably know by now that I'm a total fan of using my freezer to help with my meal planning - whether it's batch cooking things like tomato sauce or using ice cube trays to freeze small portions of things like wine. Freezing food is a great way to extend the shelf life of items you use but may not use fast enough to make it economical to store fresh. I thought I'd share a few things that you can freeze because there have been a few things that I've discovered over the years that have literally changed the way that I'm able to save money on our family … [Read more...]
