Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. We now have a mini herb garden - actually it's more of a pot but it's in the garden and it has three different herbs in it so we're calling it a garden. ;-)I think I've said before that we're not great with the actual growing of plants so when we saw that Morrisons had their herb plants on offer we bought Mint, Rosemary and Chives. Now we just have to keep them alive long enough to benefit from our £3 investment!2. I love Jo Malone perfume but it's not very frugal so I only ever get it when Mr Frugal decides to splash the cash for a … [Read more...]
Save on the cost of medication with the NHS Minor Ailments Scheme….
I know that I've mentioned the NHS Minor Ailments Scheme briefly in the past but over the last week or so I've seen lots of people on social media talking about it and sharing posts relating to it. Almost every single time it's shared, someone comments to say they've never heard of it and how they want to find out more so I thought it would be worth revisiting it again today. What is the Minor Ailments Scheme Basically, the Minor Ailment Scheme is an NHS service for people who don't pay prescription charges which would include all children and people on certain benefits and with specific … [Read more...]
How to make a beautiful bow out of leftover wrapping paper….
When I give a present to someone I like to spend time choosing a present, think about what I know the person I'm giving it to will enjoy. And because I spend time on choosing the perfect (in my opinion ;-)) present, I like to make sure that it looks as pretty as possible when it's all wrapped up and ready to give.In the past, I would pop to the supermarket and buy a pack of wrapping paper to match the occasion along with a more often than not expensive matching bow to go with it and occasionally some ribbon if I wanted to really make it look nice! Present wrapping certainly wasn't cheap … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {15th May 2015}….
Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. Miss Frugal has a bit of a weakness for Lush bath bombs, which are far from frugal at £3+ per bomb. She often asks for them for Birthday's and Christmas and regularly spends her pocket money on a treat for herself. She bought herself one a couple of weeks ago and she's been saving it for just the right time which was apparently Wednesday night.I knew she was using it in her bath as I could smell it from downstairs but what I didn't know was that she had decided to cut the bath bomb in half with a knife so she could have two baths with it … [Read more...]
Where do you draw the line with saving money on your food shopping….
If anyone asks me the first thing they should do to start saving money, I always without fail tell them that the absolute first thing to start with is to look at their food shopping habits.Meal planning is a must for me but I need to make sure I'm organised in order to do that successfully and make sure that our shopping budget is as low as possible, while still making sure that we eat well.I make sure that I plan our meals for the following week before I go shopping and that I use food that we already have in where possible to keep my shopping bill down. To make sure I get everything … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {8th May 2015}….
I think I'm going to struggle with my five frugal things post this week because we've all been ill since last week. Me and the kids are wiped out from lack of sleep due to all our coughing and sniffling and Mr Frugal had to be brought home from work suffering from a severe vertigo attack! Thankfully, we're all on the mend now and counting the hours to the weekend so we can have a good catch up on all of the sleep we've missed.Let's see if we can actually get to five.... Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I bought some Asparagus tips reduced from £2 to 20p at Tesco last night - … [Read more...]
