Miss Frugal is absolutely loving our new monthly magazine freebies feature - she's just got new Benefit make-up for the third month running! This month she's managed to bag herself a decent sized Dew the Hoola, which is a liquid bronzer for her face, with the September edition of Elle!A photo posted by UK Thrifty Family Blogger (@frugalfamily) on Aug 6, 2016 at 5:41am PDTThis month does seem to be a bit quiet so far on the freebie front but what there is out there is pretty awesome. Here's all the August magazine freebies I've found so far....Instyle magazine have a … [Read more...]
Is a packed lunch cheaper? Here’s a breakdown of what it costs me every day to help you….
Every year at this time, I get lots of emails from you lovely readers asking my advice about whether I think packed lunches are cheaper and better value than school dinners. As you can imagine, this usually prompts me to write a post about packed lunches but last week, when I started to write my annual 'packed lunches are awesome' post I realised that the post I published last year covered everything I wanted to say. So rather than bore you all write it again, I thought I would simply re-share last year's post today and work on a different kind of awesome packed lunches post (keep an eye … [Read more...]
Super easy and versatile scone recipe….
A couple of days ago I saw a photo of a delicious looking fruity scone on my Facebook timeline and ever since then I've been craving one, preferably with some lovely strawberry jam and some clotted cream smothered on it.The problem is that I'm the only person in the house who likes fruity scones and as soon as I said I was going to bake some, everyone else put in a request for some cheese scones. I have a really quick and easy scone recipe from way back when for plain scones so I decided to use that and adapt it a little bit so I could make fruit scones and cheese scones using just one … [Read more...]
How to get good quality meat for great prices….
Let me just say straight away that this isn't a review. Or rather it is a review but one that I'm writing because I placed an order myself with Muscle Foods and I was so impressed with the quality of food for the price I paid that I wanted to share it with you guys too. Some of the links I've included are affiliate links though which means that if you do buy something, you'll pay exactly the same but I might also get something too. Thanks. ;-)I don't know about you but I always feel better buying something from a company when I've been recommended them by people that I know so when the … [Read more...]

This week we've had three, yes three, back garden campouts.The first two were in a small tent that we bought from the car boot sale for the bargain price of £2 and the second was in our new brand new family tent that we're planning on using for a family camping weekend at the end of the month.After three nights in a row of having kids camping in our back garden, I like to think I'm a bit of an expert on this whole camping thing (;-)) so I thought I'd share my top tips for having a successful back garden camp out... The Guests You'll need to make sure that whoever you invite has … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {5th August 2016}….
1) This week I made a batch of our homemade Febreze to give the curtains and carpets a nice little refresh.It really is lovely and refreshing and is a great alternative to the shop bought versions which cost a lot more than my budget version!Make your own here.2) This week I cancelled Miss Frugal's mobile phone contract and switched to a great PAYG deal with EE. For £15 every 30 days she'll get 4GB data, unlimited texts and 250 minutes. Her current contract is £23.99 a month so that's a saving of £8 a month for double the data and believe me, that girl can get through … [Read more...]
