By the time you read this I'll be in New York with Miss Frugal enjoying (hopefully) our long awaited holiday so it's probably not going to come as a huge surprise that today's post is New York themed with each of my five frugal things having something to do with our trip.1) First up we have toiletries! Miss Frugal wanted to go and buy some of the cute little travel sized bottles of everything from deodorant to hair spray and from shampoo to toothpaste but they seemed very expensive compared to their larger sized versions. To give you an idea of what I mean, Sure deodorant is £1.20 for a … [Read more...]
DIY Freezer Smoothie Packs {And six of our favourite Smoothie Recipes}….
Last week I briefly shared my DIY freezer smoothie packs in my 5 Frugal Things post but I wanted to tell you a bit more about the smoothie packs today because I've seen similar things popping up in shops more and more lately and mine are a LOT cheaper!We all have smoothies regularly, especially for breakfast when we're in a rush, but fresh fruit definitely makes them an expensive option if we're not organised with our little smoothie packs which we make in bulk every now and again. We make our packs using reduced fruit from the supermarket, frozen fruit and fruit from our fruit bowl … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {31 March 2017}….
1) Honestly, excitement is at record levels in our house right now because this time next week Miss Frugal and I will be in New York! Top of my list of things to sort this week was our mobile phones as we're both on monthly tariffs that are great value for money here in the UK but not so much for abroad and we really want to use them when we're away to keep in touch with home. I had heard that Three were great for using your card abroad so I've had my phone unlocked and ordered a free sim from Three which I've topped up now and when I get to New York, I'll swap over the Sim and because Three … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {24 March 2017}….
1) My phone contract finally ended last week so I called EE to cancel it as I was planning to move over to Giff Gaff who do unlimited data (6GB at 4G and after that it's slower speed) for £20 and 4GB for £15. We also wanted to cancel Mr Frugal's as he never got around to doing it last year - he says he forgot as I was unwell but I suspect its more to do with the fact that he wanted to stay with EE as the coverage with them is really good where we are. Anyway, we cancelled them both, got our PAC codes to move over to Giff Gaff and ordered our new Giff Gaff sim cards. Then we got a call from … [Read more...]
DIY Money Savings Jar….
Last weekend I used the last of a jar of artificial sweetener that we've had in the cupboard for what seems like forever. We only use it when my Dad comes around as it's the only thing he likes in his tea. The tub was a clear plastic jar with grooves around the edges and a bright yellow lid and I decided to try and upcycle it into a DIY money savings jar.I had some leftover gold glittery spray paint so I took the jar outside and gave it a quick spray with the spray paint. I wouldn't go out and buy some spray paint if you don't already have any in because you can jazz up your container … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {17 March 2017}….
1) There's not long until Miss Frugal and I head off to New York and the other day I was having a quick double check of our flight times and I noticed that there was an option to register an British Airways Executive Club card to collect some Avios points on our booking. I'd noticed this before but didn't do anything as we're not exactly frequent flyers but I just thought I'd have a look into it to see if the points were actually worth anything to us. Surprisingly, it totally was worth registering as the points we earned from our booking can be spent on-board with BA for food and drinks so … [Read more...]
