Today, I've got 8 reasons why buying second-hand clothes is the future for you. :-) I'm not going to lie, I think reason one is enough all on its own but I added the rest in case you still needed a bit of persuasion.I shared a post a couple of weeks ago where I asked the question 'Are charity shops too expensive?' and it got me started on all the reasons why buying second-hand clothes is the way to go. My reasons started to take over the whole post so I dialled it back and copied it over to this post as this topic really does deserve a post of its own.I share a post every … [Read more...]
Don’t have a Vase? Here’s 8 ways to display your flowers without a Vase….
Don't worry if you don't have a Vase? Here's 8 ways to display your flowers without a Vase...Considering at least half of my weekly five frugal things posts start with a picture of some reduced flowers that I've bought through the week, it might surprise you to know that I don't actually own a single vase. I did used to have a few basic ones but honestly, they just took space up in the cupboard under my sink so I gave them away - one to a friend with a bunch of flowers arranged in it prettily and the others went to the charity shop. I've never missed them in any way and always find … [Read more...]
Opening a bank account for my 16 year old….
Opening a bank account for my 16-year-old was so easy that it took me longer to find his passport than it did to do the application!This afternoon, I helped Master Frugal open his own bank account with Monzo and it was so easy that I thought I'd share it with you because it was so much easier than I expected!(BTW - I'm not working with Monzo at all, I'll explain below why we picked Monzo over the other options 😂 )The first reason we chose Monzo was that they advertise an 'easy' online account opening process which was a big sell to me after the nightmare we had trying … [Read more...]
Actifry Fajitas Recipe….
My recipe for Actifry Fajitas is actually so simple that I feel like a bit of a fraud calling it a recipe. It's currently our favourite meal though so I thought it was worth a share today.I've been after an Actifry for ages and last month, I finally caved and bought one when I saw them on offer in B&M for about £30 cheaper than I'd seen it anywhere else. I don't think I've quite converted to the Actifry fan club but I've got high hopes for when I've got the hang of it.So far, I've used it for chips which are OK and these Actifry Fajitas which the kids have informed me are … [Read more...]
Easy Baked Oats Recipe…
Today, I'm going to share Miss Frugal's easy baked oats recipe because so many of you messaged me over on Instagram when I shared a photo of it earlier this week.This easy baked oats recipe makes a brilliant meal prep breakfast as you can cook it the night before but it's also great for lunch or a snack too as we discovered this week. Miss Frugal decided to make me a bit of a healthy snack when I was working one afternoon (she's a star encouraging me as I'm trying to be healthier) and it was so nice that me and both of the kids just grabbed a spoon and ate some from the bowl … [Read more...]
