Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {21st July 2017}….
1) I should have shared this last week but I completely forgot about it! It's a good one so I'm sure you don't mind me sharing it this week instead, right?Basically, Miss Frugal's bedroom drawers fell apart and no amount of glue was going to save them this time around (they're the one's we bought for her nursery before she was born) so we popped to IKEA to buy the Malm drawers and bedside cabinet that she's had her eye on for the last year!As we always do, we headed to the Bargain Basement as the last stop before paying where we found the same set of drawers that we had in our … [Read more...]

1) Did you see my homemade sunglasses case on Sunday?It's my first sewing project and I'm over the moon with it just because I know I made it myself!2) I'm a bit of an Ed Sheeran fan, not a mega fan but I do enjoy listening to his music so when the tickets went on sale last Saturday I was determined to get some tickets for me and Mr Frugal to go along. I waited and waited in a queue and finally got to the front and actually managed to get some tickets allocated with a ten minute timer to make the payment before they were released to the next person in the queue.But then I … [Read more...]
Six ways to be supermarket savvy!
Like lots of people, I'd love to be able to shop in the local independent shops but I honestly just don't have the time to shop anywhere other than our local supermarket which is open longer hours than the local shops.More often than not, I do my shopping later on an evening when the kids have taken themselves off to their bedrooms to relax and chat with their friends on Facetime or on the Xbox. This means that I'm lucky enough to pick up some great bargains when I shop but I still have to keep a careful eye on what I buy as I'm one of those people who's easily seduced by a bargain - or … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {7th July 2017}….
1) Last weekend I bought some reduced price sausages and made an amazing posh toad in the hole which I'll tell you all about next week. It was a much cheaper Sunday Dinner than the planned one which involved a gammon joint I was planning on popping in the slow cooker and it was amazing!2) I was on a roll with the posh toad in the hole so I even made chocolate cherry puddings for afters which were equally amazing and used just store cupboard ingredients and a tin of cherries I bought at least a year ago.3) Away from food now and on to some moneymaking - I've sorted out a few boxes … [Read more...]
