I'm thinking either chicken curry or cajun chicken. Hot dogs and fries are actually those little Richmond sausages which I bought reduced last week and some reduced hot dog buns so less than 75p for the … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {24th October 2015}….
I usually sit down on a Friday afternoon after work and have a good think about what I've done that week to try and be more frugal and thrifty that's interesting enough to be included in that week's Five Frugal Things post.I didn't get chance last night though as I was too busy doing number 1 on my list, so I'm a day late but here's my five frugal things for this week....1) I got a new settee which is usually not very frugal but this one was given to me by my Dad as he bought it for himself not long ago and has now decided that it's too big for his Living Room.

11 tricks and tips to help you save money on your make-up….
Before I had children I was a bit of a makeup addict - forever searching for a lipstick that really would last all day and a mascara that wouldn't smudge and leave me looking like a panda before lunch. I remember my makeup bag being filled with all sorts of things - all promising to make me look beautiful and looking back, I bet I probably spent a small fortune on the contents of it.Then along came the kids and my priority was no longer trying to look good. It was enough sometimes just to make it out of bed and get dressed when they were both toddlers so managing to find the time to … [Read more...]

Five UN-Frugal things I’ve done this week {9th October 2015}….
Every week I tell you about five frugal things I've done to save some money and whilst some things might not be as frugal as others, everything I share is something that I think is frugal or thrifty for one reason or another.But I wanted to do something a bit different this week, I wanted to share some things I've done that aren't very frugal at all - not because I haven't done anything frugal but because I don't want you to think that I'm some sort of frugal wonder-woman who excels in all areas of frugal-ness (is that even a word).1.
