We love going on holiday and it's something we're very happy to spend money on. In fact, one of the reasons we try to save money throughout the year is so we can afford to travel and have more holidays, so when we do go away we want to make the most of every minute.That's a big part of why saving money on holidays, for us, isn't about finding the absolute cheapest deal or spending as little as possible once we're there. There's not much point spending all year saving towards a holiday and then refusing to spend money on the things that would make that holiday better.Instead, we try … [Read more...]
6 Small Money Habits That Make Life Easier (and Save Money)….
I've realised over the years that it's often the little things I do without really thinking about them that make the biggest difference to how organised I feel with money.None of these are going to magically save thousands of pounds overnight and they're definitely not groundbreaking, but they're habits that either save us money, spread the cost of things or just make life that little bit easier.And honestly, anything that makes life easier while saving a few pounds along the way is a win for me. 😂I meal plan around what we already have Before I plan our meals for the … [Read more...]
How I Got £300 Worth of Christmas Perfume under £150….
I’ve already started my Christmas shopping this year and have been picking up little bits here and there for a while now, but this week I ticked off one of Miss Frugal’s bigger presents. And somehow, what started with me trying to remember the name of a perfume I liked ended with £300 worth of perfume costing me just £156.60. - even less when you take into account the extra Boots Advantage points and the cashback I got from Top Cash Back.It was one of those times where every little offer seemed to stack together perfectly, and it reminded me why I always take a few extra minutes before … [Read more...]
The Benefits and Trade-Offs of Selling Your House Fast….
Selling a house is never just about getting the most money you possibly can for it. Obviously that's a pretty big part of it, but there are so many other things going on when you're selling a house that sometimes getting it sold and being able to move on is just as important.People sell for all sorts of reasons. You might be moving for a new job, going through a separation, dealing with an inherited house, downsizing or you might just have found the house you really want and need yours sold before you lose it.In an ideal world you'd put your house on the market, have a queue of … [Read more...]
Architectural Salvage Yards: What to Expect and What We Found….
We’re still right at the start of renovating our house and, if you’ve been following along, you’ll know that we’re very much taking our time with it.We both want to do it right and really bring the house back to life rather than rush through the rooms just so we can say they’re finished. It’s important to us that we don’t just fill the house with brand new things, even though I’m quickly discovering that doing exactly that would be so much easier, so much quicker and, actually, quite often so much cheaper too.Because one thing I’ve learned since we moved into an old house is that old … [Read more...]
Five little things that have saved us money this week {11th September 2026}….
Every week I share five small things we’ve done to save a bit of money, make life easier or help us spend more intentionally. None of them are usually huge on their own, but that’s kind of the point. Those small choices add up over time and give us more room for the things that really matter — whether that’s days out, holidays, home projects, treats we’ll actually enjoy or just a bit more breathing space in the budget.It’s time for this week’s Five Money-Saving Things, and I’m starting with one of my favourite ways to start these posts... Starting off strong with some bargain … [Read more...]
