{I'm re-sharing this post today as I've seen some super negative comments on Instagram this week where people have been judging others for the way they choose to spend their money - not on my posts in case you're wondering but I just hate seeing people be judged for spending their hard earned money how they want to spend it so I thought I'd dust off this post and get on my soapbox again}Last week someone left a comment on one of my posts to say that they didn't think that having a holiday was very frugal which is something that I completely disagree with.

Five Frugal Things we did this week {12 April 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) Did you see my post yesterday where I shared our monthly budget review? I … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things we did this week and a mini life update….
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 with today's five frugal things, I thought I'd give you a mini life update...You might already know that at the end of last year, I got some news about my job that was pretty big. It meant that I was going to be travelling just shy of 40 miles to get to work instead of my previous 12 miles each way. That's 80 miles a day sat in my car!It's not … [Read more...]
Oh yeay, today’s National Price Hike Day….
I love a good celebration day as much as the next guy and I'm all about National Nutella Day or even National Lost Sock Memorial Day (True Story - 9th May) but I just can't get behind National Price Hike Day.I've heard National Price Hike Day mentioned a few times lately and decided that it wasn't one I wanted any part of.
