I've shared my recipe for slow cooker pulled pork a good five and a half years ago now and over the years, it's become a firm family favourite that regularly features on our meal plan.Last Friday, I bought a big piece of pork shoulder from Morrisons and made a big batch of slow cooker pulled pork which we had for tea in yellow stickered brioche buns (from M&S no less) with some Potato wedges from the freezer.I wasn't around for tea on Saturday night but I did leave instructions for Mr Frugal to make a batch of homemade pizza dough to make pizza for tea, which he did after much … [Read more...]

Why you should always check Trip Advisor before a trip (and why you should take some reviews with a pinch of salt)….
Today, I'm going to tell you why you should always check Trip Advisor before a trip but also, why you should take some reviews with a pinch of salt.Have I ever told you that I used to work as a travel agent? I worked in a small independent travel agency for about five years after leaving school and I absolutely loved it and not only because I got at least two holidays a year either free or massively reduced. ;-).

20 ways to love your leftovers….
Using up your leftover food can save you money as well as time so for today's round up post I thought I'd share 20 ways to turn your leftovers into a whole new meal....One of the things that makes me smile when I think about my lovely old Nana was how she could whip up a meal in the kitchen from practially nothing.

Amazon Prime Benefits That You May Not Know Exist….
Until recently, I had no idea that there were so many benefits to being an Amazon Prime member so I thought I'd share a few of my favourite Amazon Prime benefits with you today.I originally bought Amazon Prime about 18 months ago when a couple of the Xbox games that Master Frugal had added to his Christmas wishlist were actually cheaper for Amazon Prime members. It was the first time I'd come across this difference in price and over the two games, it was just short of £20 difference. I'd been umming and aahing for a little while about signing up simply because of the free one-day … [Read more...]

25 ways to use up bananas….
One question that I've seen come up at least three or four times in our Facebook group is the question of how to use up bananas so today I thought I'd share a few ideas!Bananas are one of those things that I buy every single week when I do my food shopping. We all love them and as well as eating them just as they come, we also use them for everything from mashed on toast to sliced up on porridge.The problem is when they go from lovely bright yellow to brown speckled because the kids have a thing about eating them when they start to go like this (as do I if I'm honest). … [Read more...]
