I'm resharing this post a couple of years after it was first published as I made a batch of applesauce over the weekend with some apples that a lovely friend brought round when she popped in for a cuppa - this time I added some of my lovely apple pie spice mix too and I've saved some to make a batch of Autumn Crumble tarts so I can share some with the friend who gave me the apples.One of my best bargains from the Festival of Thrift this weekend was the big bag of free windfall apples. I was planning to make an apple pie with them but I thought I'd make a batch of homemade applesauce … [Read more...]

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) OK, now we're properly into September, I thought we'd be good to start talking about a Christmas every now and again?I'm not planning on going overboard so don't worry but some of the things I want to make as gifts do need a bit of prep in advance like the homemade Limoncello that I started making last weekend.

Five Frugal Things we did this week {3rd September 2021}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) I dyed my hair using some hair dye that cost me £10 for two boxes which is an absolute bargain compared to how much I'd pay if I was getting it done in a salon. I've probably been dying my hair for about a year now for no other reason other than I woke up one day and felt like a change. 😂 This is the hair dye that I use - … [Read more...]

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐I think today's round up kind of sums up life at the moment for me - I'm still really focused on saving money where I can (even more so than ever at the moment to be fair) but I do have more spare money in my budget so right now, it's less about spending as little as possible on everything and more making sure I get a good deal for everything I do … [Read more...]

Hey! 👐1) So, this week I put my name down on the waiting list for an allotment plot near where I live. I imagine it will be 2037 or something before I get to the top of the list but I've done it and hopefully, one day I'll be a proud allotment keeper. For now, I'll have to stick to my little greenhouse.I don't think I'll ever be a super mad … [Read more...]

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) The M&S food hall near us has started to do big bags of bananas that are about to turn for 25p later on a night - usually when I'm out on a driving lesson with Miss Frugal so twice this week we've practised parking in the car park outside M&S and then I've ran in and bought a bag of bananas!They're fab for two days and each bag has … [Read more...]
