Do you waste money?I bet most of you said no to that question but I wonder if your answer will be the same after you've read this list of 11 ways that people waste money every day....Food Waste is a big one because, according to the stats from Love Food Hate Waste, families in the UK thow away around 7 million tonnes of food and drink from our homes every single year and and at least half of this could have been eaten. That's a scary fact isn't it - even more so when you consider that this wastage cost the average family with children around £700 a year which is £60 ish every month. … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {2nd June 2017}….
1) We renewed our family railcard earlier in the week when we decided at the last minute to travel to Edinburgh airport by train rather than drive. The family railcard took the price of the rail travel down from £220 to £120 so it was definitely a worthwhile purchase, especially considering we need to travel by rail to Gatwick in October.We love travelling by train as it's so much more relaxing than driving and we have much more space - and we don't have to stop every half an hour when one of us needs a wee!2) I had a lovely wander around the charity shops last weekend and I … [Read more...]
Are you missing out of free money when you shop?
Everyone raise your hand if you shop at Asda.Now, keep your hands raised if you know about the Asda price guarantee AND actually use it to check your receipts after you've shopped with them?I bet there's not too many of you left with your hands in the air is there?OK, I know you probably didn't raise your hands there but you get my point I hope.

Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {26th May 2017}….
1) We're away on holiday to Milan next week (biggest bargain break ever) and I've been saving for our holiday spends. This week I've cashed in my loose change vases that I keep on the kitchen window sill (£18), my holiday savings jar where I save notes and try really really hard not to raid it on a regular basis (£125) and emptied my holiday savings bank account for the rest of my spending money. I've said lots of times that I want to travel as much as possible this year and the trips we've booked have been great value but its the spends that can break the budget so I'm trying really hard to … [Read more...]
Ten genius ideas to bulk out your meals and save money….
Do you know why people used to eat Yorkshire Puddings?It was because they were cheap to make and very filling so they were traditionally served as a starter before the main meal was served to take the edge of any hunger and to fill people up before the main meal, traditionally a roast beef dinner, was served.We always had our Yorkshire Puddings before our Sunday Dinner when I was growing up and even now, when we go to my Dad's for dinner, we have our Yorkshires before the rest of the meal which never fails to amuse the kids. In theory, because we've had our Yorkshire Puddings before … [Read more...]
Calming essential oils sleep spray….
I've mentioned my homemade essential oils sleep spray a few times now and today, I'm finally getting around to sharing it with you so you can make your own if you want to have a go.It's a calming blend of lavender and cedarwood essential oils an it's so cheap to make as I bought my essential oils from the chemist near us for a couple of pounds each and it feels like I've hardly used any out of them yet despite me making this sleep spray a good few times now.I first started making it when I went back to work in January as I was having trouble switching off on a night which meant that … [Read more...]
