Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. We finally cancelled Sky TV! A few weeks ago Virgin Media installed the fibre optic broadband in our street finally and we got some quotes which would save us money as well as give us much better broadband but we've been waiting for the man to pop around to sort it. He came earlier in the week and we're all good to go with an installation date of 11 July so we've cancelled Sky and BT finally.I had a dreadful experience with Sky which led me to complain on Twitter but their Social team arranged for someone to call me and a lovely lady rang and … [Read more...]

10 ways to use Bicarbonate of Soda….
I bet most of you have a tub of Bicarbonate of soda (or baking soda) in your cupboard right now and I'd also hazard a guess that if we all went and checked the use by date on it, at least half of them would be out of date.There's a good reason for that - most people don't realise just how versatile bicarbonate of soda actually is so they buy a jar for baking and it sits in the cupboard for months on end, only being brought out when a recipe calls for a pinch of it.But there are so many other uses for it, so why not have a look at the list below and see what else you can do … [Read more...]

We finally got around to having a car boot sale (you can read all about it here) and considering it was quite windy and we were mostly selling Miss Frugal's junk things I actually think we did really well. Everything that we didn't sell went straight to the charity shop so I'd call that a frugal and de-cluttering success!2. This one involves a bit of a white lie so please don't hold it against me ;-)As I mentioned last week, Miss Frugal wanted a room makeover because she wanted her room to be a bit more grown up. We went to B&Q … [Read more...]
