Last month I made some really cute little pink marbled cupcakes for Miss Frugal's 15th Birthday party and I'm only just getting around to writing them up now!I've already shared the homemade rainbow layer cake that I made for her Birthday with you weeks I thought it was about time that I shared these cute little pink marbled cupcakes that I made with you. They're really easy to make but you'll have to excuse the lack of good photos because I made them on the day of the party and was to busy at the time to stop and take photos which meant I had to take them later on when everyone was … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did in Nice and Monaco {13th October 2017}….
If you follow my Instagram feed or read last week's five frugal things post then you'll know that we've been away for a cheeky family break to Nice and Monaco so as I did when we went to New York and Milan,this week's post is going to be dedicated to five frugal things we did in Nice and Monaco.1) When we checked in to our hotel, the lovely receptionist handed us a huge stack of tours and trips that they could book us on to if we wanted to do some sightseeing. I'd been googling for the last week so whilst I had definite plans for what we were going to be doing, I had no intention of … [Read more...]
Is the TasteCard worth the money….
Have you heard of the tastecard? If not, read on to find out how you can save 50% off your bill when you eat out and how you can get a 60-day trial for just £1!Remember my 'Five Fantastic Free Trials' post a couple of weeks ago?After I'd shared the five free trials with you, I cheekily added in a 60 day trial of the tastecard which, although it cost £1, was almost free and well worth it when you considered the amount of money you could save if you ate out even just once in that 60 day period.I ordered my own at the time I wrote the post as it sounded like a great deal and … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {6th October 2017}….
We're actually away right now which isn't very money saving but we did do a few things to keep the price of our break way down so I thought I'd tell you about them today....1) We've managed to get away a few times this year thanks to a LOT of shopping around and some flexibility with airports and dates. Our holiday to Milan earlier this year cost us a little over £400 in a 4* hotel because we looked at airports we wouldn't usually flight from, in this case Edinburgh. This time, we booked in advance and looked nationwide so we might be flying from Heathrow but we got return flights for the … [Read more...]
Why you should NOT give your children a piggy bank….
Today I'm going to tell you exactly why I don't think you should give your children a piggy bank if you want to encourage them to save!I should say before I start that all children are different and this is my opinion based on my experience of my two who are great little savers. ;-)Both of my children are brilliant at saving, Miss Frugal especially although I think that's more because she's older and gets more money each month, therefore has more money to save. When we booked to go to New York, she saved more money than I managed to with a combination of pocketmoney, babysitting … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {29th September 2017}….
1) This week we've been really trying to focus on No Spend Days and we've managed 3 since Sunday which is great for us - it would have been more but we had an unexpected school trip to pay for and I wanted to buy some flowers this morning as it would have been my brother's Birthday today. Tomorrow won't be a no spend day as I need to pop to the shop to get some things for our holiday next week but 3 out of 7 will do me for this week.If you want to focus on No Spend Days then I have a little no spend tracker you might like to use here.2) I've topped up my Kindle with free books … [Read more...]
