Half term is not usually one of the frugal-est (is that a word) weeks of the year but I don't think we've done too badly this week. Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Miss Frugal isn't growing that much so she hasn't grown out of many clothes but her taste has changed so much since she started secondary school so we had a sort through of her wardrobe this week. Because she's quite small, she's still got clothes that we bought for her in Year 5 so you can imagine that her taste has changed massively now that she's as a much more sophisticated (;-)) Year 7 girl. We photographed what … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {13th Febuary 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. This isn't a massively frugal thing but we've been shopping for new fridge freezers this week and despite falling in love with a big American Style one, I chose a smaller and much cheaper one that has more freezer space than we have in our current one. I took a photo of the model number and came home to see if I could get it cheaper. I managed to get it £25 cheaper as I found a discount code on the 02 Priority Moments app so I'm really pleased I didn't buy it there and then!2. I've discovered a free car park that I can park in when I pop into … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {6th Febuary 2015}….
I meant to start doing a 'Five Frugal things....' post every week but last week wasn't great for us as we were hit with a tummy bug that wiped us out but we're on the mend now so here I am again to share with you all five frugal things that I've done this week. Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. This is something I do every week but only realised what a habit it was when Master Frugal told me that he knew it was Sunday because the washing machine was on. Basically, I try to only wash on a Sunday and I do one white wash, one dark load and one colour load. By waiting until I have a … [Read more...]
Tried and Tested – Morrisons Sweet and Sour Sauce….
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the Tesco value curry sauce jar as part of my new tried and tested feature where we will be trying lots of different value products and reporting back. I was really pleased at how positive the comments were as I was half expecting lots of people to say that cooking from scratch was the only right thing to do.Today I wanted to tell you about our experiences with the M Savers Sweet and Sour sauce from Morrisons which we bought for the bargain price of 25p!I completely failed with taking note of the ingredients for this but I did read through them … [Read more...]
My favourite guilty pleasure….
I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned hundreds a few times that I love moving house and since I bought my first house, I've moved house four times and spent countless hours searching for our next dream home browsing online estate agents sites.As much as I love where we live now, I do love looking at other people's houses. I like to see how they're decorated and get ideas for what I'd like to do in my own house but even sadder than that, I like to pretend that I've won the lottery and find a house that I would like to live in if money was no object.I sometimes forget that these sites are … [Read more...]

I bet you all do lots of frugal money saving things on a daily basis without even thinking about it! They're just things that make complete sense to you and you do them without even thinking about it aren't they?But sometimes, until someone points something out to you, it doesn't even occur to you so I thought I'd do a post each week to share some of the frugal things I've done that week with you all. Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I've redecorated Master Frugal's bedroom on a budget with a little inspiration from Pinterest and Facebook, specifically the Homeclick Facebook … [Read more...]
