I originally posted this a little while ago and although, I don't usually re-publish old posts I think this one is worth a second look so you can see that children's packed lunches don't have to cost the earth. It's easy to make a filling and healthy packed lunch that your children will enjoy for around half of what you would pay for a school dinner.I'd strongly recommend a good read through the comments as well as there are some fantastic ideas in there. Feel free to add your own too....School Dinners seem to have got very expensive lately don't they?I think they're … [Read more...]
Family friendly frugal meals – Turkey and feta burgers….
This week my meal plan is super easy seeing as I'm away on holiday. I promised in my last meal plan to share a few recipes with you though so here's the first one - Turkey and feta burgers.I've start using turkey a lot more in my cooking as it's so economical and everyone really enjoys it. This is a recipe that I made up initially when some of the kids friends came round and I don't have much in. They sat and ate it in the garden and all came back for more so it can't be bad, can it?To make 8 small burgers you need: 500g turkey mince Feta cheese - I used about 75g but you can add … [Read more...]

Slimming World Quiche Muffins….
For the last few months (up until I went on my holidays), I've been following the Slimming World plan (on a budget) and I've lost just over a stone altogether.It would have been a stone and a half but the half went back on while I was on my holidays!In an effort to be frugal I wasn't going to a Slimming world group, I was going it alone using some books that a friend gave to me but it was hard work. There was no one to swap ideas and recipes with, no one to really motivate me and no major reason why I couldn't have a bit of a treat and start again the next day.... Or the next.... Or … [Read more...]

Get Organised – The New Improved Me….
I need to get myself organised.Everything's been really hectic in the last few months (in a good way) and it's getting harder and harder to keep track of who should be where and when. The house is in a bit of a state as I never seem to have time to do everything that I need to so. My usual organised morning routine has gone out of the window and due to some unexpected expensive car repairs the month before last, we're still playing catch up with our money.I managed to miss the open afternoon at school today as I completely forgot it was today and yesterday, Miss Frugal went to school … [Read more...]
