OK, I know that's not the most inspiring title for a blog post but bear with me....I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Aldi.I love their prices but I hate the fact that I can't get everything I need from there which usually means that I end up having to pop to another shop on the way home.Rather than doing a full sop in my local Aldi, I've started to pop in on a Saturday morning after I drop Master Frugal off at his Primary University class to get a few bits. I don't generally have my meal plan written up by this point but I do like to stock up on their 'Super Six' … [Read more...]
Five UN-Frugal things I’ve done this week {9th October 2015}….
Every week I tell you about five frugal things I've done to save some money and whilst some things might not be as frugal as others, everything I share is something that I think is frugal or thrifty for one reason or another.But I wanted to do something a bit different this week, I wanted to share some things I've done that aren't very frugal at all - not because I haven't done anything frugal but because I don't want you to think that I'm some sort of frugal wonder-woman who excels in all areas of frugal-ness (is that even a word).1. I bought a packet of Lemsips - … [Read more...]
Make sure that you’re fully prepared for Winter….
I know I've called this post 'getting prepared for Winter' but what I actually mean is getting ready for the colder weather!As the temperatures start to drop throughout October, more and more people will be starting to turn their heating on, and that's OK. In fact, I'll more than likely be joining you. ;-)I'm not going to tell you that to be frugal you need to sit at home in the cold and layer up so much that you look like the Michelin Man just to avoid putting your heating on because that's not what being thrifty means to me (it might be to you though and that's OK too).I am … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {2nd October 2015}….
1. I've up-cycled a cake board into a memo board this week which saved me throwing away the cake board! You can have a read about how I did it here if you fancy having a go yourself.2. We're now into our second week of feeling under the weather but I'm pleased to say that we have (almost) stuck to our meal plan which is no mean feat when you have as little energy as I've had this week! There was one night when I replaced what we had planned for dippy egg and soldiers because I just couldn't face cooking (or actually leaving the sofa for more than two minutes to be honest) but for the … [Read more...]
How to plan an amazing family holiday on a budget….
One of my favourite things to do when I have a few minutes spare it planning a holiday for my family - I'm already working on next Summer's as we all have two week's off together for only the second time since the kids started school!As you probably know, part of the reason I started writing this blog is so that we can have a record of my kids’ lives throughout their childhood that they can treasure and look back upon when they are adults. While I love to save pennies and quid on groceries, delicious recipes, technology and clothes shopping, I also want to share the lovely experience … [Read more...]
How to avoid the sneaky data drain on your iPhone….
Do you have unlimited data on your iPhone?If you don't then you really need to read this post as I've just been told about a cheeky new feature that's used more of my data in a couple of days than I usually use in a week!I only found out about it because I mentioned to someone at work that my phone seemed to be using much more data than normal since I updated it and they told me that Apple added a new feature called WiFi assist in the last update.Basically, WiFi assist means that if your WiFi strength isn't great then your phone will switch seamlessly from WiFi to using your data … [Read more...]
