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.  I feel like this week has been quite a frugal week without me even trying particularly hard - I love it when that happens!  1) I went to make some Pizza Chips earlier this week and realised that I had no tomato puree which is pretty essential to the recipe.  I considered going to the shop to get some but decided against it because (a) I knew I'd buy … [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.  1) Sunday and Monday's lunches were homemade soup made from some leftover shredded chicken and a leek and potato soup mix that I bought for 55p from Tesco.It was amazing - the shredded chicken which I made with some Italian Seasoning added a lovely flavour to it.

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.  Today's post is a little bit different though as I'm going to share five things that I plan to do this year instead of five things I've done this week...I have some very definite plans for 2020 - they're written down in a notebook and everything. ;-) 1) I need to get serious about getting old!  ;-)I don't want to be working until I'm too old to enjoy my … [Read more...]
