Don't worry if you don't have a Vase? Here's 8 ways to display your flowers without a Vase...Considering at least half of my weekly five frugal things posts used to start with a picture of some reduced flowers that I've bought through the week, it might surprise you to know that I don't actually own a single vase. I did used to have a few basic ones but honestly, they just took space up in the cupboard under my sink so I gave them away - one to a friend with a bunch of flowers arranged in it prettily and the others went to the charity shop. I've never missed them in any way … [Read more...]

This month’s pre-loved bargains {May 2024}….
You all know that I love a good pre-loved bargain, whether it's from a charity shop, the car boot sale or even from somewhere online and this is the return of my monthly post to share some of my bargains with you! This always used to be my favourite post to write each month and even though it's been a while since I've actually shared any of my bargains, I've still been enjoying my regular mooch around the charity shops in my area and picking up bargains when I see them. 😇Where I live now, I'm a five minute walk from the village high street where there are four charity … [Read more...]
How I save for Christmas through the year (without saving any actual money)…
I save for Christmas all year round without actually 'saving' any actual money so I thought I'd make my first official post of 2024 a post telling you how I do it.I've realised that, pretty much every year, I share this information in one of my five frugal things post later on in the year when I'm about ready to cash in all my little savings posts and by that point, it's way too late for you guys to do something similar so this year, you're getting it a lot earlier so there's no excuse. :-) Last year was a quiet year for my savings as I was barely online but in previous years, … [Read more...]
15 Basic Money Management Tips….
We're going back to basics today with these 15 basic but essential money management tips!Over the last six months as my life has been ridiculously busy and if I'm honest, budgeting has probably been the last thing on my mind most of the time - manageable only because our outgoings were significantly less with the kids on lockdown at home and our income was significantly increased due to all of the overtime I was working. Now we're having to deal with the fact that this is our new normal and our outgoings are creeping back up while the overtime is on the decline so I don't have … [Read more...]
Homemade Reed Diffuser….
This homemade reed diffuser is super simple to make, costs next to nothing and can be customised to match your home and your own favourite scents!You know I love a good DIY when I get a chance so today, I wanted to share my homemade reed diffuser with you. I mentioned it a few weeks ago in one of my five frugal things post but I'd only just made my first one and I wanted to make sure it was worth sharing before I blogged about it. I wasn't convinced that it was going to actually last long enough that I could smell it for more than the first hour. 😂 It's really impressed me … [Read more...]
Could your junk mail save you money?
I know I've touched on how something that you might class as 'junk mail' can actually save you money a few times before in my weekly five frugal things post but today, I thought we'd give it a whole post of its own.(I first published this a couple of years ago but money's tight for lots of people right now so I thought it was worth a quick update and a reshare to remind you of a couple of different ways to save some money) Lots of people mentally sort their mail into three piles - you have the boring bills and grown-up life admin stuff, the waste of paper junk mail and finally, what's … [Read more...]
