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 Approved Food and I was so impressed with what I got for my money 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'm not sure if you've heard of Approved Food before so before I go any further, I'll tell you a little bit about them and why they can save you so much money on … [Read more...]
How to bake a cake with no butter and 10 other frugal food substitutions….
I can't tell you the number of times that I'm just about to cook something when I realise that I'm missing a vital ingredient! It's so frustrating because I either need to make an unscheduled trip to the shops (never a good idea) or change my meal plans for that day.But then I came across a post on Pinterest suggesting using apple sauce instead of butter in a cake when you've ran out of butter. I tried it and the resulting cake was absolutely delicious so I had a look into what other substitutions were possible.There's loads more than you would think, or at least there's loads more … [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...]
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’s meal plan {2nd May}….
This time yesterday I was lazing in the sun with a (non alcoholic) cocktail in my hand waiting for a lovely Halloumi and ham salad to be delivered to my sunbed while I made the most of the last few hours in the sun before we left Cyprus to travel home. This morning I've woken up to grey cloudy skies, a mountain of washing and a week's worth of meals to plan!I'm actually quite looking forward to planning this week's meals if I'm honest - mainly because I've had a week off from my Slimming World diet thanks to our all inclusive holiday and I can't wait to get back on it again. The food in … [Read more...]
How to make shabby chic wall art and a menu planner using wallpaper samples….
One of the things I was planning to do when I did my living room makeover last weekend was to get some large ornate style photo frames and frame some wallpaper samples rather than wallpapering a whole wall. I was a bit disappointed that I never managed to do this as I couldn't find the style frames that I was looking (I'm still on the lookout though) but today I have done something similar in my kitchen and I think it looks brilliant.I bought the frames from Ikea this afternoon and they're cost £2 for the smaller frames and £4 for the larger one. These frames are great for the … [Read more...]
