Last week, I shared my new discovery with you all, an app that you can use as a scanner, and this got me thinking that there must be lots of other things that can be replaced by an app these days.Looking through my phone, I have a few apps on my phone that replace something I used to have so I thought I'd share a few of them with you, starting with the most useful app I think I have on my phone - Waze. Now I know I mentioned this app a few months ago in one of my weekly ‘Five Frugal Things posts but having used it again last weekend, I’ve decided it needs a post all of its own!I’m not … [Read more...]

Save money like your Grandma used to….
You might have seen in my Five Frugal things post last week that I taught Miss Frugal how to mend a hole in her trousers. This is something I thought would be the first thing they would teach in her sewing lessons at school but no, she can cover a notebook in fabric like a pro but they haven't got to the part where they learn actual life skills yet!It seems a bit like basic skills that our grandparents took for granted have been forgotten about. Things like sewing can be looked at as being a bit old fashioned which is a real shame because it can save money and give you a feeling of … [Read more...]

I bought a Crimpit {Pre-loved}….
A few years ago, I bought a CRIMPiT and completely fell in love with it. I loved it so much that I actually dedicated a whole blog post to the wonders of this little kitchen gadget (which you can still read if you fancy it). But for the quick version: a CRIMPiT is a simple tool that seals the filling inside a sandwich, which instantly makes it more versatile. Once it’s sealed, you can toast it, grill it, or crisp it up into a toastie filled with pretty much anything your heart desires. I used it loads when I was doing Slimming World. It worked brilliantly with those sandwich thins you can … [Read more...]
Simple, Realistic Ways to Reduce Your Food Budget….
Did you catch last week's post about what a realistic food budget looks like in 2026? If not, I recommend going and having a quick look before reading this one? I shared some information about what 'average' families spend in the UK in 2026 and it might really help you to understand where your own food shopping budget fits with that. What I wanted to talk about today is how you can reduce your spend, or at least share what's worked for me.After figuring out our own realistic food budget, the biggest thing that helped me to then bring it down to a level that feels … [Read more...]
Eight ways to use up Leftover Chicken….
Leftover chicken is one of those brilliant ingredients that can stretch into so many extra meals without much effort at all. Whether it’s from a Sunday roast, a midweek slow-cooker recipe or just a couple of pieces left on a tray, chicken is one of the easiest things to turn into something completely different the next day. I'll be honest, I've found so many different things to do with leftover chicken that I actually used to make big batches of Shredded Chicken in my Instant pot to pop in the freezer so I had chicken in to use in these recipes for when I didn't have leftovers! … [Read more...]
