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.Before I start though, I do want to say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.We were on holiday for half the week this week so my … [Read more...]
Is FOMO messing with your budget?
FOMO = Fear of missing out!FOMO might be an acronym that many of us had to Google in order to understand what on earth our children were talking about (or is that just me?) but it's actually a very real thing that may have been messing with your budget for years.Let's look at a couple of examples so you see what I mean...A group of your friends are going to the cinema to see a film and out for a meal or drink afterwards. You're a bit skint but don't want to be the only one going so you go along even though you could really use the money elsewhere.Your friend's hen night … [Read more...]
Chilli, Mango and Lime Salsa….
This Chilli, Mango and Lime Salsa is amazing and is a super fresh alternative to traditional tomato-based salsa.Miss Frugal is a huge mango and avocado fan so they're always top of my list when I go shopping. She's not been feeling that great over the last couple of days so when I went to make tea last night, I realised that there was a mango and an avocado left in there that were about to reach that stage where they're past their best.I was making cajun chicken for tea so I thought I'd make some sort of salsa with them as I had a couple of tired looking spring onions in too and I … [Read more...]

The Dave Ramsey Zero Budget Method….
I should say up front that the Dave Ramsey Zero budget method is definitely not my favourite way to budget and it's not one that I've used for more than about half an hour as I just couldn't get away with it. But I have had a few people ask me to explain it so I thought I'd share the basics of the zero budget method with you today.On paper, the zero budget method is pretty simple and in my head I know it's a very practical way of budgeting that makes sure that there is no available money to waste. The reason there's no money available is because every single penny is accounted for … [Read more...]
How to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker….
Have you ever wondered how to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker? To be honest, I probably don't need a whole post to tell you how to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker, I could probably fit everything you need to know in a tweet. ;-)But seeing as we've just polished off our Sunday dinner made up of slow cooker chicken, Yorkshire puds and veg I thought I'd tell you how I cooked our chicken today.Before I do though, I will say that this isn't my favourite way to cook chicken because it literally cooks it so melt in your mouth soft that it tends to fall apart when you … [Read more...]
