Mr Frugal was having a read through of my blog last night and he made me smile when he said how frugal I sounded from all my frugal posts this month and he wondered what you would think of some of the very un-frugal things that I choose to spend some of the money I save on.He said that some of you would be very un-impressed with some of the things I spend my money but I think he's wrong. I said you would understand that one of the reasons that I choose to be frugal in some areas of my life is so that I can be un-frugal in others.Let's see what you think of some of the un-frugal things … [Read more...]

Five things to do on a morning to make your day easier….
One of the most popular posts I've ever written is my post about six things to do before you go to bed to make your next morning easier and honestly, I genuinely feel better the next morning when I take the time to do these six things.Someone once commented on a Facebook post about this post to say that she 'couldn't be bothered to faff about on a night' but I'm not a morning person and find it much easier if I can just get up and go without having to think about much at all. I also find that getting organised for the next day on a night helps me to relax at bedtime because I know … [Read more...]
Style on a Budget – the one with the full outfit for under a fiver….
A couple of weeks ago I told you about how Miss Frugal and I try to fulfill her love of designer labels without breaking the bank and today I wanted to share a charity shop triumph with you. We found a full outfit that she loves for under a fiver at the Age UK charity shop in our town. I love the Age UK shop as they don't charge ridiculous prices and they're a goldmine for clothes that Miss Frugal will actually wear.We think all three things will be fab to take to New York as they're quite versatile and can be worn with other things to make different outfits....The picture … [Read more...]
65 Free or Frugal Valentines Gift ideas for the one you love….
I love the idea of Valentines Day as a day to celebrate your love but I really don't think all of the commercialisation of the day is necessary. Almost as soon as Christmas was over, the shops were stocking up on all things pink and red in preparation for the day when couples feel almost obligated to buy something that costs more than it should just because it's pink, red or has a heart on it to show how much they love their partner.Don't get me wrong, we did the whole Valentine's gift thing the first few years that we were together but these days, we make our presents more about the … [Read more...]
Frugal Investments for a Frugal Family….
You don't actually need very much at all to start living a more frugal lifestyle but there are a few things that you can invest in that will certainly help so I thought I'd spend some time today sharing my favourite frugal investments with you....I know it might sound silly to be recommending that you actually spend money buying things to help you save money but bear with me, these things are things that I've bought that have saved me money or allowed me to be frugal without having to make a huge effort that I don't necessarily have time for as a working mum who doesn't have enough hours … [Read more...]
A message to all you fledgling frugal-lers….
A lovely lady emailed me a little while ago to thank me for showing her that being frugal doesn't necessarily mean shivering in the cold with extra socks and jumpers instead of turning the heating on which was the impression she got from some sites online and someone else recently mentioned to me that they were so overwhelmed with all of the frugal tips and tricks that they'd found online that they had no idea where to start with it all.These two comments made me stop and think because I do know what they mean from my own personal experience because it's so easy to look at what others are … [Read more...]
