1) On Tuesday we decided to have lazy tea instead of what we had planned so we used some naan breads from the freezer that I'd bought for 9p, a pathetic looking green pepper, the last of the leftover ham from our Sunday dinner and some pepperoni that Mr Frugal bought on his way home from work to make some cheap but very delicious pizzas.Even the cheese was frugal as I'd bought a bag of pizza cheese a while ago and portioned it up to pizza sizes for the freezer. Miss Frugal isn't a cheese fan usually but she does like pizza cheese and she loves the odd homemade pizza so I try to always … [Read more...]
Cashback websites – Q and A….
It's been a while since we've talked about cashback websites so I thought we could have a quick refresher today because when you make a purchase using a cashback website, it really is money for nothing!I know that some of you will already use cashback websites regularly already and will probably be smiling to yourself quite smugly right about now because you'll know just how much money you can earn from these sites just for doing what you would normally do anyway! You lot can move on for today. ;-) The rest of you, don't be going anywhere because this is something you're going to want to … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {8th April 2016}….
Right, unlike last week I'm feeling pretty confident that I'll get to five easily this week!1) Did you see my new meal planner and matching pictures that I made from some cheap Ikea frames and a free wallpaper sample? They're hiding some awful greasy blu tac marks on the kitchen wall so not only do they look great, they've also saved me from having the hassle of painting AND they're giving me a much needed boost in the meal planning department.2) Last Sunday was a great de-clutter day for me. I sorted out all the kids DVDs and took them to our local cash converters where they … [Read more...]
Easy Ways to update your wardrobe on a budget….
As part of our de-cluttering process we had a good old sort through Miss Frugal's wardrobe at the weekend. We were pretty ruthless and got rid of anything that hadn't been worn in a while, anything that she no longer liked and anything that was past it's best.After we'd sorted through every single piece of clothing that she owns, we ended up with two full black sacks to take to the charity shop which seems like a lot but we haven't been through her wardrobe since the start of Winter. Even then, we were much less ruthless that time as we kept lots of things that we probably shouldn't have … [Read more...]

I'm so pleased it's Friday!After another very long and tiring week, I'm not sure if I actually five frugal things to share with you, let's see if I can make it to five....1) I bought some bags of pre-prepared veg from Tesco reduced section this week reduced to 23p a pack. I managed to make four portions of my favourite spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup and the rest was used to make a super quick casserole in the slow cooker. I just added the veg, two chicken stock cubes some leftover chicken and a bit of boiling water and popped it on high for two and a half … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week {25th March 2016}….
This week has been all about getting everyone better and caught up with sleep ready for a lovely long weekend of doing all of the jobs I've been wanting to get done around the house.1. Mr Frugal knows how much I like Orla Kiely and how much I love upcycled furniture so when he saw that someone was selling this little beauty, he was there like a shot to buy it for me for my Birthday.I have no idea where I'm going to put it but I love it and the fact that it's upcycled means it's a thrifty birthday present which is even better.2. I invested in some new freezer storage containers … [Read more...]
