Let me just say straight away that this isn't a review. Or rather it is a review but one that I'm writing because I placed an order myself with Approved Food and I was so impressed with what I got for my money that I wanted to share it with you guys too. Some of the links I've included are affiliate links though which means that if you do buy something, you'll pay exactly the same but I might also get something too. Thanks. ;-)I'm not sure if you've heard of Approved Food before so before I go any further, I'll tell you a little bit about them and why they can save you so much money on … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {12th August 2016}….
1) I needed to some Turmeric this week to whip up a batch of our Nandos style spicy rice and I picked up a small jar of it in the spice aisle at our local Tesco - 85p for 45g I think it was. I carried on wandering with my shopping list and stopped at the ethnic food section to pick up some coconut milk and I managed to pick up a packet for 100g for just 99p which is double the amount for an extra 14p. Bargain!2) Stock up when you see something on offer! This week I've bought three packs of our favourite cheese as it's reduced to £1 from £1.79 and I've bought six packs of steak rub … [Read more...]
Free Benefit Dew The Hoola and more August Magazine Freebies….
Miss Frugal is absolutely loving our new monthly magazine freebies feature - she's just got new Benefit make-up for the third month running!

Here's all the August magazine freebies I've found so far....Instyle magazine have a … [Read more...]
Is a packed lunch cheaper? Here’s a breakdown of what it costs me every day to help you….
Every year at this time, I get lots of emails from you lovely readers asking my advice about whether I think packed lunches are cheaper and better value than school dinners. As you can imagine, this usually prompts me to write a post about packed lunches but last week, when I started to write my annual 'packed lunches are awesome' post I realised that the post I published last year covered everything I wanted to say. So rather than bore you all write it again, I thought I would simply re-share last year's post today and work on a different kind of awesome packed lunches post (keep an eye … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {5th August 2016}….
1) This week I made a batch of our homemade Febreze to give the curtains and carpets a nice little refresh.It really is lovely and refreshing and is a great alternative to the shop bought versions which cost a lot more than my budget version!Make your own here.2) This week I cancelled Miss Frugal's mobile phone contract and switched to a great PAYG deal with EE. For £15 every 30 days she'll get 4GB data, unlimited texts and 250 minutes. Her current contract is £23.99 a month so that's a saving of £8 a month for double the data and believe me, that girl can get through … [Read more...]
My secret to finding free books for your Kindle….
{UPDATED FOR 2016 as I wanted to add in some more places you can find free kindle books}According to the date I first published this post, I've had my Kindle for coming up to four years now and it's still going strong despite being used on a daily basis. Mr Frugal has tried to get me to replace it so many times to one of the newer models but I love the basic one that I have so there's no point upgrading it when I only want to use it to read my books!If you don't have a Kindle but you're interested in getting one then their cheapest new one is this one here at £59.99 but there are … [Read more...]
