Welcome to the last 'Five Frugal Things I've done this week' post of 2015.This week I'm not going to tell you any of the frugal things I've been up to and it's not just because I can't think of five to share with you. ;-)It's actually because I want to tell you about five of the frugal things that I plan to do in 2016....1. I'm going to continue to plan our meals on a weekly basis and more importantly, I'm going to stick to the plan more than I have done this year. When I don't plan our meals I spend more when I go shopping so I need to make sure that I'm consistent with this to … [Read more...]
Christmas Dinner Moneysaving….
I can't believe that it's only three sleeps until Christmas Day!One of my favourite things about Christmas Day is Christmas Dinner although I think that's probably because I don't have the stress of cooking the meal itself as we always go to my Dad's for the meal itself. It's usually all under control when we arrive and after enjoying an amazing meal, I don't even have to do the washing up afterwards (although I always volunteer).We usually have a gammon joint, a chicken and a side of beef to choose from and it's served with roasties, Yorkshire Puds and whatever veg my Dad fancies … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {18th December 2015}….
The week before Christmas is a time that I find hard to be frugal and not be tempted by all the goodies in the shops that I know I really don't need and I do buy things that I wouldn't normally buy - it is Christmas after all....1. I tried to make some wall art for an extra Christmas surprise for Miss Frugal's little quote wall in her bedroom and it turned out really well - the only problem was that she came downstairs as I was finishing it off and fell in love with it so she ended up taking it back upstairs with her!The 'Throw Kindness Like Confetti' picture image was … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {11th December 2015}….
1. You're going to laugh at me for my first frugal act of the week this week! Years ago, Mr Frugal and I used to buy each other expensive cards for Christmas and because I'm a hoarder I always used to save them. Anyway, one year I got them all out and noticed a theme - they all said something like 'To the one I love' or To Someone Special', they all had a cute picture on the front and they all had practically the same message written inside. Oh yeah, and they all cost a small fortune!So that year, we decided not to send each other a card but to simply swap cards from … [Read more...]

Happy 1st Day of December!Today not only marks the official start of Christmas (according to my advent calendar at least), it also marks the first day of the most expensive month of the year for most of us.I've written lots of posts over the past few years about my ways to save money at Christmas but I know there's lots of ways that I've never even thought of which is why I thought it would be nice to have a bit of a Christmas money saving linky going on. I'd love you to link any and all of your Christmas money saving posts up this year so we can all share each other's ideas about how … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {27th November 2015}….
I've been busy this week trying to get as much as possible done for Christmas because I like to be all ready for the 1st December so I'm free to enjoy the month of December without any stress or rushing about. I have to get things done as early as possible because I have so little time free in December between work, school events and other Christmas nights out and fun!1. I've had a trial run of the no-cook fudge that I want to make as a gift for my lovely team at work - they're all lovely people to work with and are really understanding if I have a poorly child or I need to leave early … [Read more...]
