In the real world, we don't all agree on everything. Sometimes, you think you're right and actually, someone comes along and shares their point of view with you and you start to think that they have a point. So, once a month I'm going to post my opinion on a particular issue and ask another blogger to share their differing views.As we're in back to school mode right now, we're kicking off with the packed lunch vs school dinners vote and I've asked the very lovely Jen from Mum in the Madhouse to share her thoughts too. You can find her post here.This year I'm going to have children … [Read more...]
#SaveMoneyMonday – A quick reminder about a couple of ways to save money on days out….
Like most of you probably do, I try and budget some extra money for the Summer Holidays so we can have a few 'big' family days out as well as all of the free and cheaper days that we try and do together. This week's #SaveMoneyMonday is a quick reminder about saving money on days out so you can have more days out for your money!I've got lots of ideas on how to save money on days out in this post so it's definitely worth checking out before you go anywhere but the main reason for this post is because last week Miss Frugal was invited to Lightwater Valley by some of her friends. At £20 … [Read more...]
Fashion Friday – Where to find bargains online….
Last week, I shared the results of our charity shop shopping trip with you and if you had chance to read it, I think you'll agree that we got a lot for our money.I've also shared in the past the results of our ebay shopping exploits which were almost as successful as we bought a Topshop playsuit, a Boohoo dress and a River Island dress - all for about £13. They've been worn lots so were great value for what we paid for them!But where else can you find bargains if you need some new clothes?I have a few sites that I keep an eye on....SocialDiscountNetwork - Can be quite … [Read more...]
Fashion Friday – Charity Shop Style….
It's no secret that Miss Frugal loves her clothes and she has such great style that sometimes I can't help myself and I do let her buy clothes that she doesn't necessarily need (unless you count really, really, really wanting something as needing)!BUT, as I'm trying to teach her, money doesn't grow on trees so she does have a budget when we're clothes shopping and she's quickly learning that she'll get more clothes for her money on eBay, in the sales section of shops or in charity shops. I gave her £10 a few weeks ago to buy some new Summery bits and bobs and she did a brilliant job, … [Read more...]
Thrifty Thursday – Make your own curtains (take two)….
I wouldn't usually re-publish a post but every now and again, I remember about a post I wrote that's hidden away in my archives craving a little bit of attention (aren't we all?). This post, for example, was originally published a year or so ago but I really wanted to share it with you again today as I've just made a second pair of curtains using the same method.I've been after a pair of thick cream curtains for my living room for a while now but I'm struggling to find a pair that I like enough to buy! It's not that I'm fussy though, I just have very specific requirements ;-)I want … [Read more...]
Cinema Moneysaving….
Is it me or is the cost of going to the cinema increasing to ridiculous levels?We were considering a last minute trip to the pictures last week until we realised it was going to cost £25 for a family ticket! We decided against going and instead went to Cineworld on Saturday morning to watch one of their Movies for Juniors films which only cost £1.50 per person.If you don't know about Movies for Juniors, they're brilliant! Our local Cineworld usually show three or four slightly older kids movies on a Saturday morning for just £1.50 - this week for example they're showing Muppets Most … [Read more...]
