We're away on a last minute break this week so I cashed in the spare change that we save and found out we'd saved £21.54 since the last time we cashed in - extra spending money for our week away! Miss Frugal likes to drink bottled water as she says it tastes different to tap water but I save the bottles and on a night I fill them with tap water and put them in the fridge so when she thinks she's drinking bottled water, it's more often than not actually tap water! Packed a lovely packed lunch picnic for our loooong journey so we don't need to pay service station prices. Got some great … [Read more...]

10 kitchen gadgets you absolutely don’t need and 5 that you actually do need….
I'm going through a massive de-cluttering phase at the moment and the kitchen is definitely the biggest job. Honestly, you should see my cupboards now - let alone before I started the mammoth task of de-gadgeting my kitchen!Here's my ten gadgets that I can absolutely live without....A Quesadilla maker I'm not even joking when I tell you that Mr Frugal bought me this for Christmas a few years ago because HE loves it when I make Quesadillas. A cupcake maker Yes, I know. Waste. Of. Money. It was a bargain buy though as it was reduced to something like £3! An electric … [Read more...]
Money Makeover – Save money while you drive….
This week's Money Makeover is all about saving money when you're out and about in your car. Personally, a large proportion of my budget is spent on my car as I have a 25 mile round trip to work each day so I need to know how to save as much money as possible to try and reduce that. First of all, make sure you're paying as little as possible for your car insurance. Look at the link at the bottom of this post for week four for the best way to do that.Next, make sure you have breakdown cover in place because if you do break down, it's going to cost a fortune to get … [Read more...]
Save money with just one phone call….
Last weekend I saved £60 and got myself a free wireless router in the space of a 5 minute phone call!That's not bad going is it?We've been with the same broadband company for years and never had any real problems, but this weekend our wireless router started to get a bit temperamental so I decided to do what I've been meaning to do for a while and look around to see if I could find a better deal.We're actually really happy with our current broadband provider and we were quite reluctant to leave them, - I don't know the technical ins and outs but I know that Mr Frugal likes to play … [Read more...]
Money Makeover – Get what you’re entitled to….
I know it's been a while since I've done a Money Makeover post - Real life has been very demanding lately! Anyway, it's back this week and I thought it would be a good idea to do a quick round up of a few ways that you can make sure that you're getting what you're entitled to.Lots of people are paying too much council tax - the chances are that you're actually not one of them but if you're one of the potential 400,000 people who are, you can claim any over payments back as well as reduce your future payments. It's definitely worth looking into isn't it?Make sure … [Read more...]
