1) One of the things I wanted to do this year was take care of myself a little bit better and start making time for me and I'm really trying to stick to that. I'm really pleased with my progress at Slimming World and I'm feeling quote good about myself at the moment even though I've got a LONG way to go.As part of my new 'me' regime I bought myself some new nail varnishes and a new lipgloss from our local Pounstretchers - not bad for a pound each!2) If you pay your council tax over 10 months then this month and next are no council tax months (or at least they are for us). In the … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {29th January 2016}….
1) Last weekend I took Miss Frugal clothes shopping for our holidays and got some great deals on Summer clothes in New Look. She was over the moon when she came out with two pairs of shorts, a pair of flip flops for the beach, two pairs of sunglasses and a pretty top for £11! The shorts had been reduced from £14 to £2 a pair and the sunglasses were reduced from about £7 to 5op which made them huge bargains and just shows that buying clothes out of season can save you a fortune.2) Miss Frugal was given a lovely bag this week from a friend of a friend who no longer wanted it but … [Read more...]

No matter how thrifty or frugal you think you are, I'd bet my mortgage that there are more things that you could be doing to save even more money.

This week’s meal plan {25th January 2016}….
My meal plans are a bit all over the place at the moment as I'm still getting used to Slimming World and learning to adapt meals that I know we all love so that I can continue to enjoy them whilst following the plan. I haven't mastered it just yet so you'll see that on a few nights this week I'm planning to cook two separate meals which I try not to do usually but there are meals I want to try that I know not everyone in the house will enjoy.I'm popping to the shop probably four nights a week at the minute but just to check the reduced section for reduced fruit and veg and I also have … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {22 January 2016}….
1) I'm not sure that this really counts as being thrifty or frugal but I managed to make it through to January pay day without completely running out of money! Getting paid early in December added together with Christmas and paying the deposit on a holiday has meant that it really has been a tight month though so I'm proud that we managed it.2) You might have seen my post earlier in the week where I've started running in an attempt to get fit. I downloaded the free couch to 5k app and am following that at the moment rather than joining a gym and paying out each month. I'm certainly not … [Read more...]
How one small change saves me money on my shopping every single week….
OK, I don't think I'm going to blow your mind here but I did want to tell you about a change I made a few months ago to my shopping habits that's saved me some money!I used to go shopping on a Friday night after work and in theory, I would buy everything we needed to get us through to the following Friday except for a mid-week mini shop for fruit and veg where we needed it.The problem was that we're all at home for most of the weekend and with a fridge full of food we were more likely to snack - not only on treats but on things like carrots (Miss Frugal loves carrot sticks), yoghurts … [Read more...]
