Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.  I can't believe how fast the days are going at the moment and I'm not going to lie, anything money-saving that I've done this week hasn't been down to me really.  The shops are off-limits for the most part, I'm working super long days with free food and drink at work and the kids are confined to the house so there's very little that they need money … [Read more...]

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.  I feel like this week has been quite a frugal week without me even trying particularly hard - I love it when that happens!  1) I went to make some Pizza Chips earlier this week and realised that I had no tomato puree which is pretty essential to the recipe.  I considered going to the shop to get some but decided against it because (a) I knew I'd buy … [Read more...]
