1) What would you do with some reduced sausages, a green pepper that's seen better days and a packed of butternut squash soup mix that was reduced to 5p? I made a non Slimming World version of my Slimming World quiche and it was amazing. I added some chives from our herb pot, some cheese and a mix of eggs and milk and cooked it in the oven until it was set!2) Also on my reduced shopping trip I bought the ingredients for a lovely casserole for a fraction of the normal price. The only problem was that I already had tea cooking away in the slow cooker for that night and it really needed … [Read more...]
Homemade essential oils room spray….
A couple of weeks ago I made my own essential oils room spray and I've been loving it but it was in an ugly plastic spray bottle that I found in the back of a cupboard so I was a bit reluctant to show it off!(I know, it's not the way it looks that counts, it's the way it smells but humour me)I did really want to share it with you though because my essential oils room spray has made my house smell lovely and I thought you all might love the fact that it contains no chemicals or toxins as much as I do.Once I figured out that I was an essential oils room spray fan, I figured it … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {23rd September 2016}….
1) I won an award which I know that isn't particularly thrifty of frugal in itself but bear with me here. ;-)I was really pleased to be awarded the Best Lifestyle and Money blog by the lovely team at UK Money Bloggers and gutted that I missed the big posh awards ceremony in London a few weeks ago as I would have loved to meet up with some of the lovely bloggers who were also nominated.My prize arrived this week in the form of vouchers for M&S and (here's where the frugal bit comes in) instead of spending it on yummy food of clothes and handbags, I decided to be practical and … [Read more...]
Fakeaway chicken chow mein….
Fakeaway chicken chow mein is one of our favourite family meals and I'm pretty sure that if you try it, it'll quickly become one of yours too.Last night we had our favourite fakeaway chicken chow mein for tea and as I was cooking it, it occurred to me that I'd never actually shared my recipe with you! So, since I'm a nice person (honest) and I don't want you missing out on the chance to try this delicious meal I thought I'd share it with you today.It's great as a replacement for your local Chinese takeaway to save some money but it's also great for anyone who's doing Slimming … [Read more...]
The Festival of Thrift 2016….
Last weekend was our annual family trip to the Festival of Thrift which is an amazing festival held in the North East every September all about living sustainably with style which is right up my street.We go to the Festival of Thrift every year and I've always had an amazing day so I was really looking forward to visiting again although this year I didn't book into any of the classes or workshops as I wasn't sure if I'd be up to joining in with them when they were released over the Summer. I totally wished I had booked a couple though as the jam making and upcycling ones looked like so … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {16th September 2016}….
1) I'm so excited about this one - after living in our house for six years we are finally getting the bathroom flooring replaced! It's needed doing for such a long time but I thought it would be much more expensive than it actually can be done for so we kept putting it off. You might have read my September goals post where I decided that one of my goals was to at least look into all of the things I wanted doing and this was the first thing. We popped along to a local store with the measurements of our three bathrooms (sounds way posher than it is - one's a teeny space downstairs and ones an … [Read more...]
