{I published this back in 2015 originally but I've discovered some brilliant frugal blogs lately that I know you'll love as much as I do so I thought I'd start to update it. Once I started, the list grew from about 10 to 30 so if I were you, I'd go grab a cuppa and take a bit of time to have a good read through them all to see if you find a few new favourites. If you don't have time now then you could always Pin it for later. ;-) } There's nothing I love more than sitting down with a cup of tea and a jaffa cake and getting the chance to read some of my favourite blogs in peace. … [Read more...]
Stop spiders the natural way….
I know there's nothing to be scared of about spiders and I try to be brave for the sake of the kids as I don't want them to grow up scared of them but when I see one of the little eight legged creatures in the house, I can't rest until it's gone.Mr Frugal is great at rescuing them and freeing them in the garden, far far away from the door and I have an amazing next door neighbour who fills in for him when he's not here but I'll be honest, I'd rather not see them at all. This time of year is particularly challenging as they all seem to want to come inside and make their way to whichever … [Read more...]
Homemade peanut butter and banana dog treats….
At the grand old age of 5 and a half poor Buddy is being subjected Miss Frugal's version of dog training and it's not going well!Buddy was never the easiest dog to train although that may not necessarily be his fault as the vet thinks it might be linked to the medication he had when he was a very young puppy. When he was just a few weeks old he was diagnosed with Puppy Strangles (I'm not sure what the technical term for this is) which can be fatal for puppies. Luckily they caught it early on and with the help of a fair amount of medication, he pulled through but we have no idea what the … [Read more...]
Thrifty and frugal ways aren’t always the cheapest ways….
I'm just going to put it out there that I'm really not a fan of the word 'FRUGAL'.I chose it as a blog name all those years ago because it sounded good with the word family and it did seem to sum up what I was trying to achieve. In my head now though, the word conjures up images of miserable people doing without the things they want in life to save money and even the Thesaurus uses words like miserly, scant, skimpy and insufficient to describe frugal and that makes me a bit sad.I'd like to re-write the definition of the words thrifty and frugal so instead of using all those miserable … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {7th October 2016}….
1) It's October and we haven't had the heating on yet - that's mostly been because the weather seems to have been a bit milder than usual but there have been a few days where I've considered it. I hate having the heating on because our house is quite a warm house anyway and it feels quite stuffy when the heating is on so I try to put it off as long as I can. I've added a nice fluffy blanket to the bottom of everyone's bed but I can't see that they've been used yet.2) Did you see my meal plan earlier this week? It was a total triumph for my batch cooking as I've had a super easy week for … [Read more...]
Homemade coconut oil bath melts….
Miss Frugal love a good pamper, as do most teenage girls I suspect.At least once a week, she'll disappear into the bathroom with various products and come back out smelling like a walking version of a Lush shop. She has bath bombs, bubble wands, bath melts, hair shampoo she buys herself that costs double what mine does and that's just products. On top of that there is every type of buffer, sponge and cloth known to man in there too!Last weekend I dropped her off at the train station and made her promise not to buy any more bath related smellies - in exchange for this I promised her … [Read more...]
