I don't tend to think of the meals I cook in terms of how much they cost per portion because I often use food that I get reduced or things that I already have in the house but an article I read a while ago shared a few recipes that cost under 50p a portion.Lots of people were commenting how great it was that you could cook meals so cheaply but I must admit that I did look at some of the ideas and the tiny portion sizes and think that I could do better.But could I do better - is it really possible to feed a family of 4 on a £2 meal budget and still make sure that what you're serving is … [Read more...]
Homemade Rapidough Style Game!….
Last Christmas I went to my friends house for a bit of a girls night and we had a lovely home-cooked meal, drank a little wine, did some Christmas crafts and then played board games for the rest of the night!I know, how rock and roll am I?One of the games we played was Rapidough and I loved it - as I was playing it, I was thinking how I absolutely HAD to go out and buy this for us to play as a family.The next morning however, when I was trying to describe how much fun it was to the kids, they just gave me a look and said it sounded a bit babyish! I tried to talk them round but … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {6th November 2015}….
1. Miss Frugal really wanted to go to a Firework display last night but the one in our town wasn't on this year and the only ones we knew about in nearby towns are notorious for the gridlocked traffic getting out of the areas afterwards. So instead of driving to one of these displays, we put our wellies on, wrapped up and headed to the beach with the dog where we got to watch hundreds of fireworks going off across the whole town.We didn't even have our usual sparklers in the garden this year but I liked last years photos that much that I thought I'd share them again. ;-)2. We … [Read more...]
Who needs a Scanner when you have a phone…
Last week I had to scan some receipts so I could claim back some expenses so off I headed to the garage (our printer/scanner is in the garage as I like it tidy and out of the way) but it wouldn't turn on for some reason which wasn't particularly convenient as I was already late sending the receipts off.I poked the scanner a bit, turned it on and off and did what anyone with my level of technical knowledge would do - I sighed dramatically and stormed back into the house!I then had a bit of a whinge on Facebook (as you do) and someone suggested that I just download a scanning app!Why … [Read more...]
This week’s meal plan {2nd November 2015}….
Can you believe it's November already?It's been pretty mild here again so we've still not got around to putting the heating on but I suspect that the weather's going to turn soon and I'm guessing it'll be a different story this time next week! I'm hoping that the mild weather holds for next weekend though as we're planning a cheeky weekend away if we can get something booked.Here's what we'll be eating this week if all goes according to plan....As always, I won't bore you with the specifics of every meal but there's a couple of things I will tell you about:Toad in the hole … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {30th October 2015}….
I always find it hard to be frugal and thrifty when the kids are off school but this week's been easier than usual as it's been a bit of a chill out week for the kids and we haven't done much at all.1. First of all I have an update to one of last week's five frugal things. My new settee is in place and looking very lovely if I do say so myself....I briefly mentioned my cushion bargains in this week's bargain of the week post but just in case you missed it, I wanted to share my cushion bargains with you. I went to Tesco and Asda on the night that I got the sofa as I was so excited … [Read more...]
