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.Last Sunday I was lucky enough to travel to San Fransisco for a short break and as this post goes live, I'm currently in the air somewhere over the ocean (all being well) flying home. I wrote this in the Airport as I got there ridiculously early thanks to a mixture of my fear of missing the flight, my excitement to be coming home to see the kids and my exhaustion from trying to … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {1 June 2018}….
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, I do want to 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 - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) Every Summer holidays for as long as I can … [Read more...]
Life after debt – our journey to becoming debt free….
I don't think there's been a time in my adult life that I've not had some sort of debt in my name - be it a credit card, car loan or a consolidation loan. This month though, the last of our debt was paid off and aside from our mortgage, we are now officially debt free.I got my first credit card when I was 18 and over the next few years, I added to that one with a couple of store cards and several more credit cards. They were all paid off with a consolidation loan that I then took out but rather than closing them, I promised myself that I'd only use them for emergencies but you can … [Read more...]

How to organise a funeral and why I’m buying a pre-paid funeral plan….
This is a bit of a depressing post today but one that I personally could have done with reading when I had to organise my Dad's funeral recently. I searched for 'how to organise a funeral' but all of the things that came up first were funeral directors selling their services which is all good but didn't help me at the time so I thought I'd share my experience.So, last month I had to arrange my Dad's funeral - something he'd tried to talk to me about in the past but stupidly I always said to him that we had plenty of time to talk about things like that so we never really discussed it … [Read more...]
Value vs Premium: Morrisons….
One of the easiest ways to save on your food shopping is to switch from premium brands to a shop's own brand so I thought I'd do a couple of posts comparing a few of the value products from the shops we all shop at. I hope to prove, with a few blind taste tests, that value products are as tasty as their more premium counterparts.Today, I'm going to look at Strawberry Jam and Lemon Curd and compare products in Morrisons new value range to some of the more premium brands they also sell. Value vs Premium - Lemon CurdMorrisons Savers Lemon Curd (28p per jar) VS Tiptree Lemon Curd … [Read more...]
