You honestly don't have to spend a lot of money to have a great Christmas so I thought that I'd share with you 50 ways that you can have an amazing Christmas on a budget with you today! Every year I hear about the amount of money people spend and read stories of people who are still paying off their Christmas debt halfway to next Christmas and it makes me sad. Not sad because of how much is money is actually spent because I totally get people who spend more than they probably should (I may occasionally be guilty of this) and ultimately, it's their money to spend how they want. No, … [Read more...]

What we ate in a week {November 2017}….
I thought I might start a new monthly series on the blog called 'What we ate in a week' which is, as the title would suggest a post about the food we ate in a week! ;-) My plan is to start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and simply update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day so let's give it a go.... Monday We made some really quick and easy fajitas for tea tonight with some sliced yellow and green peppers and red onion gently fried in a little olive oil with two chicken breasts that I remembered to get out of the freezer last … [Read more...]
The Festival of Thrift 2017
Every year for the past four or five years we've visited the brilliant Festival of Thrift. Here's what we thought of this year's festival.... The Festival of Thrift has been held every year for the last four or five years and I've been going since the second year it was held so it feels like a bit of an annual event now.

It's such an eclectic mix of stalls, workshops and … [Read more...]
15 of my favourite ways to use up Leftover Gammon….
Gammon is one of the few meats that Master Frugal enjoys so we generally have it at least once a week. This means that meals that use up leftover gammon are regular additions to our meal plan. I always cook my gammon in the slow cooker - sometimes just in a little water, sometimes in Dr Pepper and sometimes in diet coke but however I cook it, it's always a family favourite. I always have enough leftover gammon for at least one or two other meals but I try to vary them as much as I can so it doesn't feel like we're constantly eating gammon. ;-) Here's a few of the things I … [Read more...]
Moneysaving Back to School tips….
Contrary to popular belief, back to school shopping doesn't have to cost a fortune! For the last couple of weeks, emails keep dropping in my inbox telling me just how expensive it is to do your back to school shopping. From memory, I think that the amounts it's claimed that people spend range from £200 - £500 per child which I can't help but think is ridiculous for most schools. I get that there will be times when you will have to buy everything which will inevitably cost more but my two haven't cost anywhere near that much. Here's my top tops for saving money on your back to … [Read more...]
