I'm sure we've all seen the extreme couponing stories in the media about people who use discount vouchers and coupons to pay for a big chunk of their grocery shopping. These are people who really take their couponing seriously and fair play to them, they get some great discounts and save a huge amount of money.Personally, I don't really have the time or the inclination to search out these coupons and then visit the various different shops necessary to redeem the coupons that I find. Having said that, I do like a money saving opportunity and I certainly don't mind using coupons or vouchers … [Read more...]

Who needs a Scanner when you have a phone…
Last week I had to scan some receipts so I could claim back some expenses so off I headed to the garage (our printer/scanner is in the garage as I like it tidy and out of the way) but it wouldn't turn on for some reason which wasn't particularly convenient as I was already late sending the receipts off.I poked the scanner a bit, turned it on and off and did what anyone with my level of technical knowledge would do - I sighed dramatically and stormed back into the house!I then had a bit of a whinge on Facebook (as you do) and someone suggested that I just download a scanning app!Why … [Read more...]

Make sure that you’re fully prepared for Winter….
I know I've called this post 'getting prepared for Winter' but what I actually mean is getting ready for the colder weather!As the temperatures start to drop throughout October, more and more people will be starting to turn their heating on, and that's OK. In fact, I'll more than likely be joining you. ;-)I'm not going to tell you that to be frugal you need to sit at home in the cold and layer up so much that you look like the Michelin Man just to avoid putting your heating on because that's not what being thrifty means to me (it might be to you though and that's OK too).I am … [Read more...]
