1) My best buy of the week is a book of vouchers that I've been hearing about for ages now in our local area. The book costs £24.99 and is basically filled with over 400 vouchers for local businesses (mainly foodie, days out and activities but with some health and beauty too) offering buy one get one free or 50% off. I bought it from our local shop but I've seen them around in lots of local businesses - I've just never taken the time to actually look at a copy because of the initial price.Each company has three vouchers in the book that can be used anytime up until the end of January … [Read more...]

Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {6th May 2016}….
1) Remember a couple of week's ago, I saved money by spending some vouchers I had on something practical rather than the expensive pair of sunglasses that I had my eye on? I regretted my decision as soon as I pressed buy on the grown up purchases but the cost of the Ray Bans I was lusting after was way too high for me for something I wouldn't get that much use out of. But now, fast forward two weeks and look what I have in my hand....Now the man who sold me them in Cyprus assured me that they were original and promised me on his life that they weren't fake but I have a sneaking … [Read more...]
2 Ingredient homemade hair detangler….
I don't know what Miss Frugal does to her hair when she washes it but everytime she gets out of the bath, her hair is a mass of knots and tangles.To make it easier to comb through before scalp plaiting it for bed (she loves curly hair) we usually spray on a little bit of our homemade hair detangler which really does work wonders.We have a spray bottle that we usually use to make our homemade hair detangler in but last week we made up a smaller bottle ready to take on holiday with us. As I was making it, it occurred to me that I'd never written about how we made it before so I took a … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan {2nd May}….
This time yesterday I was lazing in the sun with a (non alcoholic) cocktail in my hand waiting for a lovely Halloumi and ham salad to be delivered to my sunbed while I made the most of the last few hours in the sun before we left Cyprus to travel home. This morning I've woken up to grey cloudy skies, a mountain of washing and a week's worth of meals to plan!I'm actually quite looking forward to planning this week's meals if I'm honest - mainly because I've had a week off from my Slimming World diet thanks to our all inclusive holiday and I can't wait to get back on it again. The food in … [Read more...]
