I've been thinking about all the little ways that we earn money without really doing anything and it all started with our weekly food shop at Asda yesterday. We did our usual shop, bought everything we needed for the week and came away with £4 in Asda Rewards and another £2.95 in cashback through Sprive.That's almost £7 back from a shop we were going to do anyway and it took literally seconds of extra effort to earn it. And that got me thinking about how much money we actually earn throughout the year just by remembering to scan a loyalty card or going through a cashback app before buying … [Read more...]

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.

What I found when I did a full freezer audit…
I haven’t shared a proper meal plan for a little while, mainly because meal planning has been a bit more hit and miss than usual over the last few months.Earlier in the year, when I was off work and not very well, we actually worked our way through a lot of the food that I’d previously batch cooked and stashed away in the freezer. That’s exactly what it was there for, so I was very grateful for it at the time, but once I was feeling better and went back to work I never really got around to building those stocks back up again.Getting back into work life was a bigger adjustment than … [Read more...]
Five little things that have saved us money this week {25th September 2026}….
Every week I share five small things we’ve done to save a bit of money, make life easier or help us spend more intentionally. None of them are usually huge on their own, but that’s kind of the point. Those small choices add up over time and give us more room for the things that really matter — whether that’s days out, holidays, home projects, treats we’ll actually enjoy or just a bit more breathing space in the budget.I made a fridge-bottom frittata I had a bit of a fridge rummage this week and made a frittata using some random bits that needed using up – spring onion, sausage and some … [Read more...]
