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...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {15 January 2016}….
I hope it's not just me who's counting the days until January pay day!1) This week I've taken my lunch to work every day which is an achievement in itself for me - especially when you consider that I was able to say the same last week too! It's saves me a fortune and considering it takes me less than five minutes on a night to make then I really need to make sure that I keep it up. I've bought another little packed lunch box this week for my crispbreads and cheese triangles (my current favourite lunch) so now I have my sistema containers for soups and leftovers and this little … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {08 January 2016}….
Welcome to the first 'Five Frugal Things I've done this week' post of 2016.I'll be honest, it hasn't been the most frugal week we've ever had but I like to think that the money we've spent is well spent....1) I've joined Slimming World which isn't the cheapest way to lose weight as I'll be paying £4.95 a week for the pleasure. I do think it's a worthwhile investment in myself though and I think going to the group each week will help me to stay on track. I did manage to save some money though as I found a voucher (in the Woman magazine) which meant that I didn't have to pay the … [Read more...]
