1) I'm not sure that this really counts as being thrifty or frugal but I managed to make it through to January pay day without completely running out of money! Getting paid early in December added together with Christmas and paying the deposit on a holiday has meant that it really has been a tight month though so I'm proud that we managed it.2) You might have seen my post earlier in the week where I've started running in an attempt to get fit. I downloaded the free couch to 5k app and am following that at the moment rather than joining a gym and paying out each month. I'm certainly not … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {15 January 2016}….
I hope it's not just me who's counting the days until January pay day!1) This week I've taken my lunch to work every day which is an achievement in itself for me - especially when you consider that I was able to say the same last week too! It's saves me a fortune and considering it takes me less than five minutes on a night to make then I really need to make sure that I keep it up. I've bought another little packed lunch box this week for my crispbreads and cheese triangles (my current favourite lunch) so now I have my sistema containers for soups and leftovers and this little … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {08 January 2016}….
Welcome to the first 'Five Frugal Things I've done this week' post of 2016.I'll be honest, it hasn't been the most frugal week we've ever had but I like to think that the money we've spent is well spent....1) I've joined Slimming World which isn't the cheapest way to lose weight as I'll be paying £4.95 a week for the pleasure. I do think it's a worthwhile investment in myself though and I think going to the group each week will help me to stay on track. I did manage to save some money though as I found a voucher (in the Woman magazine) which meant that I didn't have to pay the … [Read more...]

Five Frugal things I’m going to do in 2016….
Welcome to the last 'Five Frugal Things I've done this week' post of 2015.This week I'm not going to tell you any of the frugal things I've been up to and it's not just because I can't think of five to share with you. ;-)It's actually because I want to tell you about five of the frugal things that I plan to do in 2016....1. I'm going to continue to plan our meals on a weekly basis and more importantly, I'm going to stick to the plan more than I have done this year. When I don't plan our meals I spend more when I go shopping so I need to make sure that I'm consistent with this to … [Read more...]
Christmas Dinner Moneysaving….
I can't believe that it's only three sleeps until Christmas Day!One of my favourite things about Christmas Day is Christmas Dinner although I think that's probably because I don't have the stress of cooking the meal itself as we always go to my Dad's for the meal itself. It's usually all under control when we arrive and after enjoying an amazing meal, I don't even have to do the washing up afterwards (although I always volunteer).We usually have a gammon joint, a chicken and a side of beef to choose from and it's served with roasties, Yorkshire Puds and whatever veg my Dad fancies … [Read more...]
