Frugal French Dip Sandwiches….
One of the reasons I love my slow cooker is the ability it gives me to buy a cheaper cut of meat and still turn it into a delicious meal.Brisket, for example, is much cheaper to buy than a joint of beef but after being cooked in the slow cooker for the day it tastes melt in your mouth gorgeous. You'd never guess from tasting it that it's a cheap cut of meat but it costs a good few pounds less than a more expensive beef joint of the same weight. We often buy it on offer in our local Supermarket who sell it even cheaper than usual once every month or so which makes it even better … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {27 January 2017}….
1) Last weekend the kids (and us if I'm honest) really fancied a cheeky takeaway but we managed to resist the temptation by making homemade pizza. ;-)I'm sure I've shared my recipe for pizza dough before but it's basically 500g bread flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 300ml warm water and 7g dried yeast. We've always made this by hand before but I've been making it in the breadmaker since I got that for Christmas and it's just as nice. The tomato base is my homemade tomato sauce but I blend it down some more for pizza sauce when I'm making it for the kids as they're not keen … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {20 January 2017}….
1) We're still saving to replace our living room, hall, stairs and landing carpet which was the first thing I wanted to tick off my house to do list this year but when I popped into TKMaxx last weekend with Miss Frugal I found some lovely Orla Kiely bathroom accessories which were so much cheaper than the ones I've been drooling over online. They had some great orla Kiely towels too which matched the accessories so I thought I'd do a mini makeover on our en suite bathroom which still looks almost the same as it did the day we moved in.I got a big towel for £12.99, a smaller one for … [Read more...]
Frugal Investments for a Frugal Family….
You don't actually need very much at all to start living a more frugal lifestyle but there are a few things that you can invest in that will certainly help so I thought I'd spend some time today sharing my favourite frugal investments with you....I know it might sound silly to be recommending that you actually spend money buying things to help you save money but bear with me, these things are things that I've bought that have saved me money or allowed me to be frugal without having to make a huge effort that I don't necessarily have time for as a working mum who doesn't have enough hours … [Read more...]
