Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I've been wanting to visit the South Lakes Zoo for ages as we've heard some great things about it but it's a good few hours drive away from us so we've never actually made it there yet. Every now and again though I do have a quick search to see if there are any deals around to get the entry cheaper as that would help convince Mr Frugal that it would be worth the long drive. I managed to find a great deal this week which offers entry for the four of us plus some animal feed for each of us for the bargain price of £15 which seems like a great deal … [Read more...]
What to do when you have an ‘I don’t want to be frugal’ moment….
Being frugal and thrifty isn't always an easy choice is it?We all have times when there's something that we really want that isn't very thrifty or money saving and we need a bit of a pep talk to help us remember why we choose to be frugal.Here's three things that help me to when I'm wavering.... I remind myself why we started to live more frugally in the first place For us it started because I wanted to work part time so I could spend as much time as possible with the kids while they were younger. Once we'd made the necessary adjustments for that drop in my wages, we started to do … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {29th May 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Contrary to popular belief, I'm planning on making more than just mojitos with the mint in my new little herb garden (actually mojitos was my plan but Miss Frugal had other ideas). So this week, we've made mint lemonade which I'll be sharing with you at some point over the next week and after that was a success we even made blueberry version. It tasted delicious - even more so because we made it with our own mint!2. The kids and Mr Frugal headed off to Wembley on Monday to watch their beloved Boro play in the Championship play off. They … [Read more...]

Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. We now have a mini herb garden - actually it's more of a pot but it's in the garden and it has three different herbs in it so we're calling it a garden. ;-)I think I've said before that we're not great with the actual growing of plants so when we saw that Morrisons had their herb plants on offer we bought Mint, Rosemary and Chives. Now we just have to keep them alive long enough to benefit from our £3 investment!2. I love Jo Malone perfume but it's not very frugal so I only ever get it when Mr Frugal decides to splash the cash for a … [Read more...]

Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Miss Frugal has a bit of a weakness for Lush bath bombs, which are far from frugal at £3+ per bomb. She often asks for them for Birthday's and Christmas and regularly spends her pocket money on a treat for herself. She bought herself one a couple of weeks ago and she's been saving it for just the right time which was apparently Wednesday night.I knew she was using it in her bath as I could smell it from downstairs but what I didn't know was that she had decided to cut the bath bomb in half with a knife so she could have two baths with it … [Read more...]

I think I'm going to struggle with my five frugal things post this week because we've all been ill since last week. Me and the kids are wiped out from lack of sleep due to all our coughing and sniffling and Mr Frugal had to be brought home from work suffering from a severe vertigo attack! Thankfully, we're all on the mend now and counting the hours to the weekend so we can have a good catch up on all of the sleep we've missed.Let's see if we can actually get to five.... Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I bought some Asparagus tips reduced from £2 to 20p at Tesco last night - … [Read more...]
