It consists of a breaded cutlet of chicken or pork topped with a white béchamel sauce and cheese, usually cheddar cheese. … [Read more...]

This may come as a surprise to you (although more than likely not) but I'm not always a shining example of frugal-ness. ;-) I spend so much time on here sharing ways to save money and ideas on how to be frugal and rarely share much of the non-frugal side of my life so I thought I'd start a monthly post to share some of the slightly non-frugal things I've done!

Five Frugal Things we did this week {13 September 2019}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)1) We won the lottery!It wasn't a huge amount but it was £135 which is … [Read more...]

Mini £15 Charity Shop Haul…. #SecondHandSeptember
As part of #SecondHandSeptember, we decided to share a mini charity shop haul with you to show you some of the bargains you can pick up.Last week, I told you all about why we were joining in with #SecondHandSeptember and I promised a mini charity shop haul so that's what today's post is all about. I roped Miss Frugal in to help me with because (a) she has a little mini eBay business that she set up as she couldn't get a Summer job and (b) she's a teenage girl who knows her own style and has never (until recently) been a fan of wearing charity shop clothes. Basically, I … [Read more...]
