Five Frugal Things we did this week {14th February 2020}….
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. 1) Sunday and Monday's lunches were homemade soup made from some leftover shredded chicken and a leek and potato soup mix that I bought for 55p from Tesco.It was amazing - the shredded chicken which I made with some Italian Seasoning added a lovely flavour to it.

Fakeaway Slimming World Meatzza….
OK, you're going to need to bear with me on this one because I absolutely know that a Slimming World Meatzza (which is essentially a pizza with a meat base rather than the usual dough base) doesn't necessarily sound the most appetizing meal in the world. Stay with me though because I made this last weekend and honestly, it was a huge success and even the kids enjoyed it which means it's a great family meal and not just a Slimming World meal. I add in lots of veggies to the base and as for the topping, that can be pretty much anything you want it to be just like a normal … [Read more...]

Usually, I'm all about a good homemade sugar scrub but when I went to make one last weekend, I had to make a choice between using the small amount of sugar we had in to make fruit cobbler or to make a sugar scrub. I decided to go with the cobbler for the sugar and cracked open my cleaning kit to get out the coarse salt and made a salt scrub instead of the usual sugar scrub.
