Autumn is such a lovely season for family adventures. Crisp leaves, cosy jumpers, and plenty of free or low-cost things to do — perfect if you’re watching the pennies. Here's a few ideas of things we've done over the years to have fun in the Autumn. Most of them are free but even the ones that do cost, won't set you back more than £10 for the day if you're organised. 1. Leaf Collecting & Nature Walk 🍁 Head to a local park or woodland and challenge the kids to collect the biggest, brightest, or crunchiest leaves. Bring them home for crafts like leaf rubbings or an … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {27th September 2025}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous 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. Hey!1) I forgot to share this last week so I'm going to pretend it was this week... 😁It was Miss Frugal's Birthday last week and even though she's older now, I still like to make a bit of a fuss. (who can believe that she's actually 23!!!) I bought some cupcakes in place of a full cake as I saw some amazing ones at the Farmers … [Read more...]
Save money by changing your washing machine habits….
With the rising costs of electricity, I've been thinking about the different ways that we could all save a little bit of money. One of the areas that we can probably save some money would be by making a few small changes to the way that we do our washing and over the years, I think I've perfected my washing machine routine to use as little water and electricity as possible. Don't get me wrong, this isn't going to save you a fortune but when prices are as high as they are right now then every penny in your pocket is a bonus! I asked ChatGPT what the savings could be if the tips below … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {20th September 2025}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous 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. Hey!1) The clear out continues here. 😁The latest thing to go is a Kurt Geiger bag that I bought a good few years ago. I don't think I paid very much for it as I am sure that I bought it pre-loved from a website called Vestiaire which is a site that sells second hand designer goods. A bit like a posh Vinted. I bought this one as I have … [Read more...]
How to cut your heating bill before Winter….
I've just had an email from our Energy supplier, e-on, letting us know that our energy bills are likely to go up over the next year due to the Ofgem price cap increasing from the 1st October. This is the estimated costs for the next year, compared to this year:It's not a huge increase to be fair but it just feels like another bill that's increasing!We were planning to switch to Octopus energy for this house when we move to our new house as that's who supplies my old house (where a now 20 year old Master Frugal lives) as I've been really impressed with them since they took … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {13th September 2025}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous 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. Hey!1) We got a great Too Good to Go bag this week - in fact, we got two. 😁There's a shop near us that has a 4.6 out of 5 rating for the quality of their bags which is well deserved as we've had a few bags from there before and have never been disappointed. They don't come up too often though so when we saw a couple on Sunday night, we bought … [Read more...]
