Ten things your teenager absolutely does not need to take on holiday….
Packing for a long weekend away in sun is never easy but packing with a teenage girl takes it to a whole new level. Seriously, every time I look in the two bags we've put to one side for our packing, there's something else in there that I need to take out!Here's a few of the things we've argued about debated so far.... 1. A pillow Yes, an actual pillow has been taken out and put back in it's rightful place on her bed. 2. A blanket Taking up half the bag was a blanket which again, is now back on her bed! 3. Bath bombs Even if they made the journey in one piece and didn't crumble … [Read more...]
What does ‘being skint’ mean to you?
A couple of week's ago I read a post on one of the frugal living forums where a woman shared something that she thought was a bit of a frugal win. She used to shop at one of the big supermarkets but this particular week she had less money than usual (she used the words 'a bit skint') so she'd decided to pop to her local Aldi to do her shopping.She went on to proudly post a picture of her shopping trolley to show just how much shopping she'd managed to get in Aldi for about the same amount of money as she would usually have spent in her usual shop.Now I looked at her photo and thought … [Read more...]
Is it worth paying a bit more for Benefit ‘They’re Real’ Mascara….
Being frugal doesn't mean that I don't like nice things (although it does mean that I have some money spare to buy the nice things I like) but no matter how cheap or how expensive a purchase is, I like to know that it's going to do what it should do and that it's going to give me value for money.So every now and again, I thought I'd share with you something that I've bought that has cost me a little bit more than I would usually pay and let you know whether it turned out to be worth paying that bit more. I'm starting today with Benefit 'They're Real' mascara....Without exception, … [Read more...]
Super Easy Homemade Breadsticks Recipe….
I'm feeling like a bit of a domestic goddess this morning as I have some homemade breadsticks baking in the oven ready to serve at lunchtime with homemade leek and potato soup. I also have a super tidy house and a wash in the washing machine!I could lie and tell you that it's my amazing organisational and culinary skills but it's so not! The tidy house is because Miss Frugal did one her big house cleans for me last night as I was working late, the wash was sorted and put in the machine on Wednesday but then I forgot all about it so I'm just getting around to actually switching the … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {15th April 2016}….
1) On Tuesday we decided to have lazy tea instead of what we had planned so we used some naan breads from the freezer that I'd bought for 9p, a pathetic looking green pepper, the last of the leftover ham from our Sunday dinner and some pepperoni that Mr Frugal bought on his way home from work to make some cheap but very delicious pizzas.Even the cheese was frugal as I'd bought a bag of pizza cheese a while ago and portioned it up to pizza sizes for the freezer. Miss Frugal isn't a cheese fan usually but she does like pizza cheese and she loves the odd homemade pizza so I try to always … [Read more...]
