For those of you who have a Smartphone but don't have unlimited free texts or calls there's some great apps around that allow you to get free calls or free texts to other users who also have the app downloaded.The one I use at the moment is called Viber which looks to be available to the majority of phone types. It basically lets you send texts and make free calls to other Viber users wherever they are in the world. It's free to download and one of the reasons I like it is that it's ad free so you don't keep having to dismiss annoying adverts for other apps! Viber works by connecting to … [Read more...]
Thrifty Thursday – What does it all mean….
If I'm honest, I don't really like the words 'frugal' or 'thrifty' because I think some people (not all) hear those words and make a bit of an instant judgement that someone who's frugal is a tight penny pincher who hates spending money, doesn't have nice things or do fun stuff.Clearly I know that's not the case and I hope you do too, but there's lots of people who would disagree.So, what do the words actually mean?Reading those definitions it looks to me like being thrifty is all about making the most of what you've got and being frugal is about saving money where you can - … [Read more...]

Eating veggie for a week….
This is a bit of a back to front meal plan because I'm going to tell you what we ate last week instead of what we'll be eating this week.....Seeing as last week was National Vegetarian Week we decided to have a (mostly) veggie week which was great for me because it gave me a bit of an excuse to cook a few different things as I'm a bit stuck in a rut with our meals at the moment. I've got back into the habit of cooking the same old meals which is not only boring but it also makes me feel a bit bleugh about cooking so I'm more tempted to not stick to the week's plan.The veggie meals … [Read more...]
Eight stealth money saving tips….
Stealth money saving is what I call the little things that I do to save money that my family don't know about.For example, Mr Frugal would never, ever eat Quorn. For no particular reason - just because he doesn't like the thought of it.But.... he actually eats Quorn mince at least once a week as I add some to anything that I use minced beef in to pad it out a little bit because Quorn mince is cheaper than minced beef and you really can't tell that you're eating it when you add it to something like I do.So I've been thinking about what other secret money saving I do and … [Read more...]
Magpie Monday – It’s been a while….
It's been a while since I've joined in with Magpie Monday but it's car boot sale season again and I got some great bargains yesterday so I thought I'd share them with you.The first of the bargains were for Miss Frugal who's fast becoming a little lady. She has very strong ideas on what she will and won't wear most of the 'won't wear' category consists of things that everyone else likes to wear - jeans, t-shirts and just about anything else that you'll find her classmates wearing! She's quite girly and loves dresses and car boot sales are a great way to get her new clothes for next to … [Read more...]
