Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I've filled one of the drawers in my garage freezer with reduced breadbuns that I bought for 1p a pack in Tesco. They're the small pre-sliced Warburtons buns and the pre-sliced hot dog buns and they're brilliant to have in for packed lunches! I just get one out on a night make the sandwich while the bun is frozen and then pop it in a sandwich bag in the fridge overnight and it's perfect when he goes to have it the next day!2. On the subject of reductions, we had a whole meal for three of us for just 65p from the reduction bay this … [Read more...]

Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I know I've already mentioned this in my post about our visit to Mount Grace Priory last week but we've got ourselves an annual family membership to English Heritage which means we can get into over 400 sites across the UK without having to pay anything other than our monthly Direct Debit which will be less than £8. We've already had two great days out which would have cost around £50 if we had paid entry so in one week we've already got some great use out of it!2. Remember the fruit and veg that we bought when we got lost last … [Read more...]

Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. After our visit to a Lavender farm this week I've used the lavender I came away with to make lavender sugar. I'll write a post up about how I did it but it's super simple really and once the lavender has infused itself into the sugar I'm going to bake with it - Lavender Shortbread is the first thing on my list!2.

Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {21st August 2015}….
There's kind of a holiday theme going on in this week's five frugal things post as we've booked a weekend away for this weekend. ;-) Five frugal things I've done this week:Despite knowing that this was the weekend we wanted to go away I only booked the holiday yesterday as I wanted to get the best deal possible. We managed to get an amazing deal with Butlins which is where the kids were desperate to go back to and it was cheaper than we were expecting to pay so I also booked adventure passes for them which are cheaper if you pre-book. I would definitely recommend leaving it until the … [Read more...]
