1) Did you see my homemade sunglasses case on Sunday?It's my first sewing project and I'm over the moon with it just because I know I made it myself!2) I'm a bit of an Ed Sheeran fan, not a mega fan but I do enjoy listening to his music so when the tickets went on sale last Saturday I was determined to get some tickets for me and Mr Frugal to go along. I waited and waited in a queue and finally got to the front and actually managed to get some tickets allocated with a ten minute timer to make the payment before they were released to the next person in the queue.But then I … [Read more...]
Six ways to be supermarket savvy!
Like lots of people, I'd love to be able to shop in the local independent shops but I honestly just don't have the time to shop anywhere other than our local supermarket which is open longer hours than the local shops.More often than not, I do my shopping later on an evening when the kids have taken themselves off to their bedrooms to relax and chat with their friends on Facetime or on the Xbox. This means that I'm lucky enough to pick up some great bargains when I shop but I still have to keep a careful eye on what I buy as I'm one of those people who's easily seduced by a bargain - or … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {7th July 2017}….
1) Last weekend I bought some reduced price sausages and made an amazing posh toad in the hole which I'll tell you all about next week. It was a much cheaper Sunday Dinner than the planned one which involved a gammon joint I was planning on popping in the slow cooker and it was amazing!2) I was on a roll with the posh toad in the hole so I even made chocolate cherry puddings for afters which were equally amazing and used just store cupboard ingredients and a tin of cherries I bought at least a year ago.3) Away from food now and on to some moneymaking - I've sorted out a few boxes … [Read more...]
Thirteen things that frugal people might re-use….
I hate waste and I like to think that I do my best to reduce the amount of waste in our house but after a visit to a friends house last week, I'm not sure that I do anywhere near as much as I could be doing!I stood in the kitchen with my friend while she made us our second cuppa of the afternoon and noticed that she was using the same teabags which is something that I never do. I didn't comment at the time but I did think to myself that the second cup would be nowhere near as nice as the first had been and silently resigned myself to a second rate cuppa. ;-)Surprisingly, that wasn't … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {30th June 2017}….
1) Despite the heat, I'm still loving soup for my lunch and I've had it three times this week. ;-) I bought a pack of pre-chopped soup mix from Asda in their reduced fruit and veg section so it worked out at around 15p a portion.Even at full price these pre-prepared soup packs work out as good value although it is a little waterier (is that a word) than my version of spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup but actually I do quite like it that way.2) We went to the car boot sale last weekend and managed to get Tri-ominoes for the bargain price of 50p as our old and battered … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {23rd June 2017}….
1) Last weekend when it was ridiculously hot I bought some cheap reduced price lemons and lovely Miss Frugal made me some homemade lemonade as she knows how much I enjoy her lemonade. She usually makes mint lemonade but we didn't have any mint so she just made it plain and it was so refreshing.Not sure it was worth the clean up in the kitchen that she left me though!Also, you can tell she's grown up with me blogging as she made the lemonade, took a photo of it worthy of Instagram and remembered to tell me what she used to make it! Then she told me I owed her £5 which is our … [Read more...]
