I'm loving sharing my little DIY projects with you lately and I've been dying to share the essential oil mermaid bath bombs with you since Miss Frugal made them a few weeks ago.Miss Frugal went through a bit of a phase where she'd spend most of her pocket money in Lush on those expensive bath bombs that they sell for anywhere between £3 and £5!I have a rule where I try not to interfere with what the kids want to spend their own money on because I don't think they'll learn if they're simply doing what I tell them to do when it comes to money. Does that make sense?So even … [Read more...]
Free Budget Planner just for you…
Did you know that I have a totally free budget planner just for you to download and use to plan your monthly budget?I created a basic version using Google Docs when I first started blogging because I got quite a few requests for a free budget planner and ever since then, it's been linked in my menu bar right up there ^^^ at the top of the page. (If you haven't spotted it then you're probably missing out on some other amazing resources (I get that I could well be biased here) like my free personalised poster maker, my cleaning recipes, my much-neglected food section and even … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {9 August 2019}….
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.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)1) I spilt nail varnish on my favourite quilt cover and since them, I've had my eye on … [Read more...]
Three things I won’t give up to save money….
Is there anything you wouldn't give up to save money?That's a pretty tongue in cheek title because there's actually nothing that I wouldn't give up if it was a choice between that or paying my bills and feeding my family.But if I look at my current situation, which is debt free and trying to save for our emergency fund whilst overpaying our mortgage each month, there are things in my life that I won't give up without a fight...Giving these three things up would obviously give us more money to put towards our goals each month and would build up the emergency fund and pay down … [Read more...]
Our Long Term Money Plan….
As much as I love my job, I have no intention of working until I'm too old to enjoy my retirement. Mr Frugal feels exactly the same, so a couple of weeks ago, we sat down and had a good talk about money and what our hopes were for the future.I wanted to share our plans with you to show what we achieved in the space of an hour sat on the settee with a cup of tea because I don't think We'd like to be able to retire at 60 ideally which means that we need to really up our game as far as our financial planning is concerned. I've been doing some research and I've found out that … [Read more...]
