We're halfway through a week away so this week's five fabulously frugal things post is brought to you live from Butlins in a very wet Bognor Regis where I'm sat writing it whilst the kids are in their bedrooms chilling after a very busy day and Mr Frugal is sat playing some random shooty game on his phone!1) We work hard for our holidays so I like to make sure that we enjoy them as much as we can and that means being able to afford to say yes to the kids more than I say no. Every night this week they've had money for the amusements (which I think is a waste of money but they love) and … [Read more...]
30 Ways to Make Money….
One of the most popular posts on my blog has always been my 50 ways to save money post and I love some of the lovely emails that you guys have sent me after you've read it and started to implement some of the ways to save into your lives.This morning, as I'm trying to sort some things out for a car boot sale this weekend, it occurred to me that I've never shared all my posts about the various different ways to make money as a round up in one post so rather than keep sorting junk as I should be doing, I thought I'd do that instead. ;-)I'm pretty sure it's not going to be as impressive … [Read more...]
Delicious slow cooker gammon cooked in Dr Pepper….
Last week we managed to pick up a good sized gammon joint reduced to £2.56 when we popped into Tesco to see if we could find any bargains. Our local Tesco is a funny one as the best bargains are around about 5pm and if you go much later then there's nothing left at all other than limp looking salad usually.Since it was so cheap, we decided that we would have a go at something we'd been wanting to try for a while - gammon cooked in Dr Pepper! We'd been put off making it in the past by the thought of wasting a good gammon joint if we didn't like the results but seeing as the joint had been … [Read more...]
How to save BIG on your grocery shopping….
Let me just say straight away that this isn't a review. Or rather it is a review but one that I'm writing because I placed an order myself with Approved Food and I was so impressed with what I got for my money that I wanted to share it with you guys too. Some of the links I've included are affiliate links though which means that if you do buy something, you'll pay exactly the same but I might also get something too. Thanks. ;-)I'm not sure if you've heard of Approved Food before so before I go any further, I'll tell you a little bit about them and why they can save you so much money on … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {12th August 2016}….
1) I needed to some Turmeric this week to whip up a batch of our Nandos style spicy rice and I picked up a small jar of it in the spice aisle at our local Tesco - 85p for 45g I think it was. I carried on wandering with my shopping list and stopped at the ethnic food section to pick up some coconut milk and I managed to pick up a packet for 100g for just 99p which is double the amount for an extra 14p. Bargain!2) Stock up when you see something on offer! This week I've bought three packs of our favourite cheese as it's reduced to £1 from £1.79 and I've bought six packs of steak rub … [Read more...]
How to bake a cake with no butter and 10 other frugal food substitutions….
I can't tell you the number of times that I'm just about to cook something when I realise that I'm missing a vital ingredient! It's so frustrating because I either need to make an unscheduled trip to the shops (never a good idea) or change my meal plans for that day.But then I came across a post on Pinterest suggesting using apple sauce instead of butter in a cake when you've ran out of butter. I tried it and the resulting cake was absolutely delicious so I had a look into what other substitutions were possible.There's loads more than you would think, or at least there's loads more … [Read more...]
