A couple of weeks ago, after a very lovely day out with the kids, we headed to our local Brewers Fayre to have a try of their new Chef's counter menu. The Chef's counter menu changes according to what day of the week it is and is basically an all you can eat buffet based around whatever the theme of the day is.Monday and Thursday are both curry nights, Tuesday is Mexican night, Wednesday is burgers and hot dogs and Friday is chip shop night. We went on a Wednesday as that seemed like the best night for fussy eating Master Frugal and it couldn't have been better for him.We were sat on … [Read more...]
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...]

Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {14th August 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week:Today is my last day at work until September and I honestly could not be more excited. We have so many things that we want to do and we're planning a family conference tonight over takeaway (paid for with vouchers I earned by sharing Zeek with you all) and plan our fortnight. I used Tesco Boost and with my points I managed to get enough vouchers for a lovely meal an Pizza Express, another meal out at a pub chain that I can't for the life of me remember the name of and a day out at Ocean Beach theme park. Not bad for free!It's always … [Read more...]
Super Easy Homemade Iced Tea!
Personally, I can't stand iced tea and if you ask me, tea should only ever be served in a mug with milk and 1 sugar in it! There's no accounting for taste though as Miss Frugal has developed a bit of a taste for it and she loves making her own - she says it's delicious and so refreshing, especially in this weather!She's made a batch this morning which she assures me is delicious so I thought I'd see if there was anyone else out there who was an iced tea fan.It's really easy to make if you've never tried it. You basically add three tea bags into a largish jug (the better the quality of … [Read more...]
How to hold a fun frugal festival in your own back garden….
Despite seeing lots of amazing photos online of the fun that everyone's been having at this Summer's family festivals across the UK, we still haven't made it to one as a family.We decided to have a bit of a festival at home instead though to take advantage of one of the few really sunny days that we've seen this year and I'm pleased to say that the now annual frugal festival was a success and we had a lovely day!We got to choose our own music, we had food and drink on tap and we didn't have to pitch a tent and camp out. Not to mention the fact that we had no wifi issues and we got to … [Read more...]
